What I meant was this:

USER_LAUNCHER="com.teslacoilsw.launcher"	# Change this to your launcher app

So should I change it or not? Will it affect GO Launcher if I do? And I'm fine with this launcher, it works fine now. Everything is fine and smooth, the most of the time. Except for fast battery drain while using my phone. 13%-15% per hour with screen on and wifi on. Deep sleep is fine, though.

EDIT: "And we've got even worse news for the owners of Xperia arc, Xperia PLAY, Xperia neo, Xperia mini, Xperia mini pro, Xperia pro, Xperia active, and Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman, which will have to wait until the end of May or beginning of June to receive their Ice Cream Sandwich update."

Are you kidding me, Sony? -_-"

Cheers mate, worked a treat

Been very please with KA11, but my only real issue is battery drain when Wi-Fi is on. Forgot to turn off Wi-Fi last night when I went to bed and my phone dropped about 40-45% battery overnight. With WiFI off, the drop is minimal. Its like it won't go into deep sleep with WiFi on.

Hmmm....not had problem with Anrgy Birds Space on my Arc.maybe try reinstalling it? Try the LED fix above by dbox, works perfect
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dbox:
I'm using Llama program to manage my phone and wifi, gps and few other functions is turned off automatically at night. It's very friendly for battery.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I don't know, there is nothing wrong with the update.zip ;) try to download it again ;)

Disable flashlight in status bar icons ;) I will try to delete the option for next version ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Yes, Angry birds space etc must work without problems ;) nice tip about Llama ;) I didn't knew that before :)

And LED fix is attached in first post now ;) Thanks to dbox :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dbox:
Don't remove this option, please. It's very usefull. Maybe just disable it in default?

:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheCrouchingTiger:
hmm mine shows arc s instead of arc lol:p

Also guys is it just me or anyone else having this problem,

When you receive a call or make a call and have the phone next to your ear, when the call is finished and you remove phone from ear the screen stays dark and doesn't light up so you cant press the end call button, If you press power button or any other button the screen doesn't light up. the only time screen light up again is when the other person hangs up. and until then you have a dead phone and you have to remove battery and re start phone.....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dbox:
If you are using build.prop update for Arc S then PC shows you Arc S :)

I have this problem too. I haven't noticed this before.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] l3mm:
Thanks will give this a try. Strange name for an app, thats the last thing I would expect it to do! Come to think of it, not sure what I would expect it to do! Cheers for the tip anyway
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Grimmyreapzky:
Can i download KA11 directly? or i have to download the previous version first?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheCrouchingTiger:
i did complete clean and did 11 directly works a treat.:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
You can download it directly :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dbox:
If you don't need the function to end the call, you can install it directly. If you need this function don't do it :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheCrouchingTiger:
can we get a fix in for this end call issue pls as it seems all seems fine apart from this one little issue????
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dbox:
Sometimes (random) it's working properly. This bug is irritating for me. Now I'm going to KA10 for tests.

Edit: Fix for this attached to my post. LED brightness fix is included in attached end call fix.

For test my fix call to your voice mail and report if it works or not works.

Click Thanks if you like my fix.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kicoi:
Give KA11 a try couple days. It has some existing inferior bugs than Ka09 i've used before..quite lag, fc, fast battery drain even i did install wifi patch which i did not do on ka09
[Xperia Arc Android Development] blue-88:
I installed KA11 after KA09 there's no such problem.

---------- Post added at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

I think the room is good, fast and every things working, but the battery drain in KA09 is better than KA11, and I didn't find 10MP camera and genie widget maybe they don't work.

Any way thanks a lot krabappe the room is nice :)

EDIT:Should I use doomkernel to fix the battery drain? (is it better than ics beta ?)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I don't know about the kernel and battery drain ;)

But is isn't 10MP camera, it's 720p at 10Mbps bitrate ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HorvathTheWizard:
Can i use Doomkernel ICS instead Stock Kernel ICS?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dbox:
Yes, you can.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] blue-88:
Is it better??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dbox:
Is faster. And you can overclock your phone, my Arc works at 1.4 GHz without any problems.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HorvathTheWizard:
Ok, i have installed and tested this rom for 3-4 h. Good! Very very light and fast! One suggestion, add a zip for Fb Xperia or add it on Rom. I have added it after flash.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheCrouchingTiger:
Okay installed the fix and now when i remove phone from ear instead of it auto going on (which it wasn't doing before )i can light it up with power button and end call.

Although i would still prefer the sensor to automatically alight the screen when phone is removed from ear after call.

i am sure that will get sorted in k12 but for now all is good.

Thanks dbox :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dbox:
Install fb from market (sorry, now it's called play, stupid name), most people don't need this one.

After application fix_end_call my phone working properly (exactly proximity sensor working properly). Do you have Arc or Arc S?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheCrouchingTiger:
I have arc did a clean install but pc software shows it as an arc s :p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Z!GZA!G:
Can someone make a rom just like this, that will work for LOCKED BOOTLOADERS?!?!?!

Thanks a lot.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
Is there sth planned for KA12?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] l3mm:
Battery life has been very good recently with this ROM. I've been using CPU Tuner and Llama as suggested a few posts back and last night battery only dropped 4% from 11pm-6.30am. Compared to what I was used to normally, that's awesome. I think the problem I was having before was that my phone was just out of range of my wireless box and was constantly scanning and trying to reconnect, thus battery was dropping v. quickly

One bug that is annoying me however is GO SMS Pro force closes. It will auto close if I don't tap the screen quickly after opening it and will run pretty sluggish compared to every other app I use. Bit annoying as its the app I use the most
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Beready:
Just a couple of questions what kernel can I use for this ROM is it the V20 or do I must use the ICS kernel from DOomed ?

I think is the special ICS kernel wright but I'm not really into this new ICS, I still use that other android version.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
Yes you can use the kernel which you can download at the first post.

Or you can use doomlords ICS or Advanced Stock kernel (with this ones you maybe have some roblems with root)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
I'm using GO SMS Pro and have not experienced such problems.

I managed to use my phone for a bit more than 5 hours without a break. I watched 4 or so videos, each of around 23 minutes, and then read manga with PocketManga app. When will they finally make batteries that can handle big energy consumers like smartphones? :(

[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I think there will come KA12on Wednesday or Thursday ;)

Ok, I'll try to fix it, but I can't promise anything ;)

I also hate those stupid batteries we are having in our smartphones ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] BlackMN:
Don't see anything about fixing the battery draining, still wifi bug, must faslh jj's wifi modul>it's ok.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Ok, I'll fix this in next release :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheCrouchingTiger:
please can we have the proximity sensor thingy working again pls even after installing dbox fix its not working again :(

Danke ub3r man :P
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ChaosFirZen:
Maybe I Can Help Krap Since He Has No Arc whats inside dbox fix {{>>>}} please tell me so I Can Modify it \ fix it....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Ok, I'll fix it asap :D KA12 expected tomorrow around 8:00 pm ;)

- In call fix

- LED brightness fix

- proximity sensor fix

- some other minor changes
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sexy101:
Do i have to install everything and do all my settings again after updating?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
If you made a factory reset in recovery then yes. But it is OK if you just wipe the cache:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheCrouchingTiger:
Thx Chaos appreciated hopefully KA12 coming today tomorrow so all should be good if not will let you know :D

Woot woot u the man danke sooooo much :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I think I'll be able to release it today :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HorvathTheWizard:
I have installed CM9 yesterday, but it's not for me. This morning i have flashed again you Rom and now if the wipe is not necessary i will install your update KA12:D!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
ok :D

KA12 is ready ;) people who want to test it before release at 8pm, please send me a pm ;)

- I need 5 testers

Please give me a link i will test it
[Xperia Arc Android Development] paulinodf:
something creepy happened

I have Ka11 installed on DoomKernel v4.

I was in the bus going to work and I felt something warming in my pocket. Really hot. Then I took out my Arc S (not too overclocked (1516mhz max and 249 min) SetCPU installed - Smoothass governor) and I relized that it was turned off and didn't turn on when I pressed power button.

I had to take out my battery, wait a minute, put it back and then turn on the phone.

Dafuq happened???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Beready:
hey man I'm playing wiht your ROM now and finally installed it and it looks and feels smooth.

Only complain I have wright now is when playing music it tends to hack a little bit when playing with my taskbar or slide down the windows in multitasking screen, also it seems it's searching for music whole time.

I'm also looking for wallpaper actually the Arc S wallpaper but not the live one bcz it isnt smooth just the wallpaper. Anyone know where I can find I cant seem to find it except I install that Arc S theme but I'm afraid it will slow down my phone and I like a good smooth snappy phone :)

Thx man I tested another ICS ROM but this one feels the best wright now for me !!!

Ofcourse I'm looking forward how it will develop more bcz imo it only can get better from here on and it's already good !!! If still find some other bugs I will tell you for sure !
[Xperia Arc Android Development] l3mm:
Hi mate, try here for the static wallpaper. I think this is the one you mean

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1547184

Thanks once again for you hard work krabappel2548, will download your new ROM soon and give it a test drive ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Beready:
Thx man that's the one I wanted, now I know it's the word static wallpaper (instead of the live one)if I have to search for it again !
[Xperia Arc Android Development] voquoccuong:
hey, are you LamDucThien from tinhte.vn? nice 2 see you here

looking forward to KA12

KA11 drains battery faster than others (maybe i didn't wipe before flash new rom)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mrmojoman:
have same problem and i did a full wipe. and also detoggled flashlight and brightness from the status bar...

but this is not enough, my phone is getting very warm using this rom.

hottest area is on the backside under the flashlight
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
KA12 coming later today, I hope this will be fixed :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
KA12 released

KA12 is released for Xperia Arc :)

Links are on first post :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
The Sony Keyboard dont work for me...:(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Ok, I'll update it asap, I know the problem so it wont take too long :)

EDIT: I'm reuploading KA12 now :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheCrouchingTiger:
Okay before i install KA12 i dont want to loose all my apps and settings and do a clean install, how shall i proceed??

[Xperia Arc Android Development] lamducthien:
Nice to see you too. I am LamDucThien at tinhte.vn

KA11 rom is very fast but the battery drain quickly so that I have used the other rom. Btw, will test KA12 tommorow. I hear a rumour that the official ICS will be released in this week so we hope the newest rom based on that.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Just copy KA12 to your sdcard and flash it without wipe if you want to keep all your apps and data ;)

If Sony will release ICS this week, it would be very nice :D

EDIT: KA12 links on first post :) keyboard should be working now :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] brezzz:
in the changelog for KA12, it says "Fixed Proximity sensor issue", could you provide some more info on this please, like what was fixed/changed.

Thanks

Brezzz
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Some people had issues with the sensor, the sensor should be properly working now :)

Do you guys like this new wallpaper? ;)

Sorry guys download links removed again, but I just discovered 9 small bugs, I'm going to reupload KA12 asap ;)

EDIT: fully uploaded added new links on first post :)

3 screenshots with new background I made :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
Finaly KA12!!:D

The Background/Design looks very cool. Can you make one which is blue/white/blue (same design like yours but just change the colours) or can you show me how to do it myself?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Do you mean something like this? ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
OHHHHHHH ****ING AWESOME!!

Can you send me the design? PLS
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Here it is ;) Flash in recovery and then it will be available in Xperia Backgrounds ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
Oh Dude you are my favorite Dev.:D

EDIT: Cant install this in recovery. The Phone says me : "Cant open /sdcard... (bad) Installation aborted" :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Ok, I can install it in recovery, that's weird :confused:

try to flash this one :)

Here are 2 more :D I will include them in next release, I'll replace some of the ugly Sony wallpapers :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
Maybe the download link is broken. I just have a 1kb file...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wilkow:
Like the new wallpaper a lot
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cined:
Can someone please help? I don't get what this bit means

extract build.prop and replace the one in /system folder with right permissions

I understand how and where to extract, but I don't understand the 'right permissions' bit.

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Check the boxes like this with root explorer:

Owner: Read - Write

Group: Read

Others: Read
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ej_424:
What does replacing the build prop do? I haven't done it with any of the realeases and dont notice any difference.

Also I thought the package for K12 was trimmed to 171mb but download still shows 174.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] leajian:
I suggest adding Nova launcher or even replacing the stock one with this. Since Nova is faster, lighter and better! ;-)

P.S. I can make you wallpapers, just tell me the dimensions and the style (how you want to look like)!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] brezzz:
No I mean which settings were changed to fix this? build.prop or something else?

Thanks

Brezzz
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cined:
Thanks but I'm still not fully sure.

I have installed root explorer and have the prop.zip on my SD Card.

I go into root explorer and extract the prop.zip, but how do I extract it to the system folder?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ThePeKo:
Permission Management for Apps would be EPIC!

Is that possible?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] cryogenix:
just some heads up, if you're not satisfied with the stock keyboard or are having problems with it, the JJ's Hybrid Rom addon:

Black Sony Default Keyboard

works and looks good as well for KA...

and also if you're using the world map theme like me, it really looks very nice...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mrsmile154:
Hi can you give me how to update from K11?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
If you have an Arc S you can replace the file and then the phone/PC shows youre phone as an Arc S. Otherwise you "just" have an Arc :D

If youre phone is rootet try the LBE Privacy Guard https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5sYmUuc2VjdXJpdHkubGl0ZSJd

Just download the new version and the add-ons you like and put them on your SD-card.

Then reboot into the recovery, wipe the cache (if you use "factory reset" u loose all apps and settings) and then install the KA12.zip. Reboot your phone and let it set everything up. After this go into recovery again and install the add-ons. I hope you understand:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mrsmile154:
Thanks :) I do as you mention and everything ok
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sexy101:
sry but which cache? also i've also removed some unwanted apps via titanium backup will i have any issues?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
If you are in the recovery you have the following options:

wipe data/factory reset -- this will delete ur user apps and settings

wipe cache partition -- this cache you can wipe without loosing important data

in "advanced" you should also wipe the "Dalvik Cache"

If you have deleted apps with titanium you have to do it again because if there were system apps they're get installed again...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HorvathTheWizard:
Sorry man, can you make me a zip flashable for Facebook inside to Xperia (not Facebook app and not Timescape, only Xperia Sync)? Tnx on advance...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Just download the package and remove the unwanted apps with winrar in /system/app before flashing it ;)

Or flash it and remove them from your phone afterwards :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HorvathTheWizard:
Facebook inside Xperia is in to "KA11_Facebook_Twitter.zip"? Can you write me a list for files useless for Facebook inside to Xperia?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Yes :) the files inside are:

- EventStreamPluginFacebook => Timescape plugin for Facebook

- EventStreamPluginTwitter => Timescape plugin for Facebook

- FBCalendarSync => Sync for Calendar

- FBMediaDiscovery => app for media from friends on Facebook

- FBMusicLike => Thing to like music in music player

- FBSetupwizard => Necessary for setting Facebook account in Settings

- Postviewer => To view what friends have posted in Timescape

- SEMCFacebookProxy => Necessary for Facebook

- SEMCGallery3D => For viewing the pictures in postviewer

the rom is running pretty smoothly, but the battery drain is so heavy... 12%/hour... Data and WiFi off.

I'm going back to KA11.

If anything pops up will let you know.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Ok, I did include the new wifi modules, but still battery drain..

Which kernel and baseband are you using? ;)

And did you do a full wipe before installation? :)

Ok :) Thanks for feedback ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] paulinodf:
I'm using DoomKernel v4 (with modules etc) and I have a .64 baseband... The battery life was very good at KA11 (with DK e .64 bb). I didn't do a full wipe to install KA12, since I was using the KA11, but I wiped the cache and the dalvik cache. What do I do now?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] colossus:
Thanks for the rom buddy, nice work.:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Weird, you can try to install the rom with a full wipe? ;)

Just make a backup in recovery before flashing so you can also restore it ;)

Thanks :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] paulinodf:
I'll try to do so ;)

Nice rom anyway. I'll report how's the battery life in the next hours.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mrmojoman:
now everything is working fine. no battery drain, no temperature on the backside..

thx soo much. great rom

maybe you can add some more google apps and crt off animation :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jonxz:
KA12 is awesome!! Good battery life, fast and smooth!!

However I found a problem, usually I switch 2G mode unless I need fast internet connection to save juice, when I am home I will turn on WiFi.

If I turn on WiFi for too long (e.g. overnight), the next day when I go to work the phone did not pick up signal (emergency calls only). I have to switch on and off Flight Mode to restore the phone signal. Not sure if it is my problem only.

Also it will be great if you can add "Screenshot" option when long-press the power button~ :D

Tnx for fantastic Rom, my friend!!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I'll provide a flashable fix on first post :D has any of you checked my Neo or Ray thread recently? ;)

I released a new KA12 for Neo and Ray that's around 20mb smaller then KA11 :D So I'm also going to release a smaller version for Arc :)

But since there were these problems and I uploaded my rom more times for Arc I decided not to update my links and KA12 release again for Xperia Arc, hope you guys understand? ;)

can you tell me how much time it will take you to relese KA07? i wanna know if i can keep your rom for now or to return to my previous one...
