my rom hasn't mono audio, but 2 channel audio, so stereo :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] amulbaby:
Yes it will replace if the phonebook app in KA 14 Ice cream sony also has the same name- Phonebook.apk...and I have KA 14 on which both bear the same name....

If they don't bear d same name, obviously, you wud have to del. the phonebook that came along with this ROM....

Simple? :)

Anyway, try out and lemme know....

Hello,

KA11 Ice Cream Sony update included many features amongst which ....

- Added Camera 720p @ 10Mbps

- Fixed camera mono audio, now stereo

were two main updates....

So, you have good reasons to try this...and trust me, this ROM rocksss....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] guza88:
I just tested too, the sound is stereo, 128kb/s 48KHz. Nothing seems laggy, neither interface nor video.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@krabappel2548: I just checked, we are back to stock 6MB/s video on KA14. Do you plan implementing 10MB/s again? Or maybe 14? :D

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is simple, I just never tried it. :) KA12 was my first attempt at modding my Arc so im still new to all this :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] amulbaby:
Just have a Nandroid backup and Titanium backup of your apps...And you can tweak around any time....

It is a nice practice to store the original apk somewhere on ur sd card jus in case something goes wrong....

Then you are Good to go.... :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] guza88:
Let me see if I got this right: Nandroid backup is actually a backup that we do in CWM and Titanium backup is APK (on Play Store) that also backup apps and stuff?

EDIT: WARNING: A lot of "backup" in this post. LOL! :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] amulbaby:
Yeah thats correct but you need to have both coz Titanium backup will let you install specific apps....

But Nandroid backup wud restore everything ...Its like a image of your phone...

But there is a ADVANCE RESTORE option for Nandroid backups where u can restore specific chunks of data....

When you boot into recovery and choose backup/restore you will get another menu. Choose "Advanced Nandroid backup" and you will be given options on how deep you want to backup your droid. It will also let you name your backup. When you decide to restore, you should also choose "Advanced Nandroid restore" this will allow you to decide what depth of restoration you would like to do. The options given in each allow you to backup and restore the following:

BOOT

CACHE

DATA

MISC

RECOVERY

SYSTEM

This way you can tailor just how much of the phone you want to backup and restore. If you choose each selection for a backup and restore each selection, you have essentially datestamped and cloned your phone from an exact moment in time, you would restore with text messages/emails/etc only up to the point of the actual backup. Generally a regular backup and restore will suffice, but it all depends on what state you want your phone to be in and how trusting you are in the ROM update you are receiving.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] guza88:
I already did some Nandroid backup-ing and tried to restore data with advanced restore but got black screen/no status bar on KA14. But that's not the issue now. In my CWM I only have these backup options:

- backup and restore>

--- backup

--- restore

--- advanced restore> restore system/data/cache or sd-ext

So no advanced backup, it backup everything then I can choose what to restore. And no giving name either, folder containing all the "images" is named after date and time of backup.

Im using Dooms ICS kernel v4
[Xperia Arc Android Development] amulbaby:
Being in which kernel and ROM, u had created ur Nandroid backup???

If you had stock ROM and you had created a Nandroid backup and if u r trying to restore it in another CUSTOM ROM, it won't work....

So for apps, its best to use Titanium Backup....

Thank u...

Awaiting your reply to my PM :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] l3mm:
Sweet! Downloading this bad boy as soon as I'm home from work. Thanks again!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
ok :) I hope it's just as smooth as on my Neo :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vipul955:
i tried

it is not stock rom phonebook

and it is not working

and i could not even use dial pad

could you please check and make a .zip update
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
I just flashed on to my Arc LT15a but i have no statusbar... I was coming from Official ICS .562 firmware, did a full wipe (Data, SD Ext, Cache) and then clean install of the ROM using my own Kernel :S...

EDIT: I flashed Wave Lockscreen + Battery Mod addon and now i do have status bar... This is the first time I'm using your ROM so I'll test and will provide feedback later on.

Thanks for your work!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] simonsy:
Same problem here.... first flash no status bar or background wallpaper...then i flashed battery % mod and it worked well....it's normal?

EDIT i tried the videorecording it is laggy and record audio MONO! Let's try and tell your results...perhaps i'm doing someting wrong i don't know... I have flashed the kernel with recovery, then wiped all data and then flashed the ROM with ARC S build.prop . My Sd card is a class 6 and with Gingerbread my video quality was great....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] soumya_digi:
No it's not normal.. :p

I think dev is using the systemui.apk from his previous Rom which was based on beta, that's why it happened.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
No, I used the new SystemUI.apk ;) weird...

I added new Adreno Drivers + stereo audio on first post :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vipul955:
please give m the phonebook zip orignal one please
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dbox:
Full wipe again.. :mad:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
For me KA15 works very well. Just the LED light is to bright again:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Yes, sorry..

This is the last time full wipe is needed :D

Oh, that sucks, will fix it in next release ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dbox:
You must very love Arc leds :D

My fix in attachment.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Haha yes :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kistigun:
Thanks for this, was almost blind ;-)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] simonsy:
Oh YEAH ! Thanks for the led fix and for the MONO to STEREO fix. With this drivers only the video preview is laggy, the video during playback is perfect. Probably Sony or Adreno must do more code optimizations
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kossie12:
Super fast and smooth

Best One so far
[Xperia Arc Android Development] radeonddr:
im missing flash on camera anyone else? great rom btw thx
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kistigun:
Also missing on my arc
[Xperia Arc Android Development] l3mm:
Me too. Also flashlight widget doesn't activate led either

Other than that, been running it a couple of hours and seems great
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Ok, I'll check it later :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] basketballman:
can someone upload your systemui please :D

i did full wipe twice

still dont have the systemui
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nghiemdung:
I did a clean install also flash ftf file but there's no status bar.how to get it back
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jonxz:
When I tried to turn on LED flashlight, it says "systemUI" has stopped and FC, wallpaper and widgets gone, have to reboot.

Camera flash option disappeared.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] amulbaby:
phonebook

Hey bro,

Sorry that the thing didn't work...Did you see the attachment of my last message?

I had attached my Stock phonebook.apk...even that didn't work???

Anyway,

Searched and got these links...try them...

Xperia ARC BIG PACK V3.1

Stock 2.3.3 ROM ~ phonebook.apk

Hope this works....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] crazyman_dn:
No status bar, no wallpaper (instant %battery addon will fixed). CRT Effects isn't enabled, camera flash is not display on screen. Check pls!

Thank for a great ROM.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SS4Serebii:
No CRT Animation and No Status Bar!

How the F*** can this be possible? I Mean, It has to be a freaking android! :|
[Xperia Arc Android Development] amulbaby:
Install Battery Mod addon ....

that should fix System UI
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kossie12:
Had no battery drain during night lost only 1~2%. One bug i encoutered is that dsp is not working.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wilkow:
phone hanging

At first thanks for the great Rom, great battery life this night.

Onlt this: when making a call the display goes black and i do have toremove the battery to get it on again.

keep up the great work
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jonxz:
I think the Battery % Mod Addon should be included in the ROM itself so people don't have to flash it in another package... Who don't like to know more detail about his battery %? :p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] miguelidanez:
Apart from flash issue I had a problem with hidden SSID wireless network. Now, i can not conect to. All always ok before with ICS beta...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] KingWickedd:
Rom is super-smooth!!

Bugs noticed:

-No Statusbar [fixed after installing battery % mod]

-No CRT off effects

-LED brightness malfunction [fixed after installing LED-fix by dbox]

-Camera flash not working

-DSP not working

Request:

-Add CM9 phone.apk :o

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ThePeKo:
KA14 is ****in laggy and not smooth :(

I hope KA 15 is better :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] omtay2311995:
i am not flaming or moaning or any thing

but man you rush things a lot we accept waiting until 18/April but we defiantly dont like to keep hoping that the next release fixes the errors two releases ago if know what i mean

you know the ka15 is fast but why do you write at the first post that you wanna know what we would like in future updates and i told you more than once that it would be good to implement WiFi direct but you just ignore that

please just do one reply and it would be good enough for me

one respect Mr.krabapel
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
can someone post the ka14 music player as the xperia s player doesn't support the lockscreen controls, is there anyways to rename the xperia s player so that I can have both music players?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] amulbaby:
Yeah krabapel,

He had even mentioned it once along with all the bugs that i had listed out....HERE

Pl. look into it ASAP...

We wish to see your great work ON....

Thank you
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SkVergil:
Everyone that's having issues with System.UI (No status bar, wallpaper)

Just flash the Battery% fix addon! I did and it fixed mine, got to admit, this is a pretty smooth ROM :D totally awesome
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I already said before I haven't had the time to add Wifi direct yet.. I've strated making a rom and add-ons for Xperia S ;)

I'll upload the default music player ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] simonsy:
Ok guys, new problems with camera app...

There are two problems:

1 as mentioned by other users flash is totally missing. I believe that the "camera stereo fix" caused this. The stock ICS Rom has the flash

2 The stereo fix solved partially the problem, but if you record a video in a room without noise, when you watch the video on your pc you can listen an intermittent sound in one of the two channel . I believe that this is a problem inside the code of the camera app, and so we must wait Sony and hope that they solve this.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] simz1987:
Loving this Rom so far the best I've used may I request u can import the new keyboard with voice input if possible thanks.

Also the google search widget isn't there any apks or file that could help?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bukest:
bugs

Hi!

1. No statusbar. (%mod fix this)

2. LED brightness. (LED mod fix this)

3. Camera flash error.

720p video @ 20-21 FPS... :/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] osx67:
Hi krabappel

Thank you for your hard & good job !

For any further update

-please update your screenshots if changed

-please drive us to the right kernel :

right kernel for the best performance

right kernel for the best battery life ( this is all I wish!)

thanks mate ! and keep going...:):)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
I think he cant help us with the kernel cause he dont have a arc. so you have to test youreself which is the best kernel for you.

I love the style of the new music player but DSP is not working. i hope you can fix that cause it would be awesome!:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] paulinodf:
It seems too buggy... I think I'll have to wait until KA16's release. I'm still using KA14, which is stable and has a very good battery life, but it's laggy even on Arc S. Too many issues/packs etc.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
I'm waiting for a solid and stable release. I'm still on KA14. I think I might downgrade to KA13 because my phone randomly reboots more than 3 times a day...

Sent from my LT15i (Xperia arc) on KA ICSony
[Xperia Arc Android Development] guza88:
^ +1

Really, too many issues, no camera flash so KA15 is not for me. I'll stay on KA14 since I don't have any issues with it for now and wait for these basic problems to be fixed.

I created backup in same kernel I tried to restore from.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] amulbaby:
Nandroid backup is a complete backup of your phone. When I say complete, it means everything on your phone – your apps, data, your current ROM and even the kernel. It is like creating a full system image of your phone that can be restored later, when required

All Nandroid backups are named only after the date n time of the backup by default...

If you wanna try changing the name, follow these:

- NAME MUST NOT BEGIN WITH A NUMBER.

- WHEN RE-NAMING A NANDROID BACKUP, DO NOT RENAME THE LAST THREE CHARACTERS.

I mean if the name is 2011-10-18-22.44.13, then u can only rename till 2011-10-18-22.44 and not ".13"

So pls check on that... I renamed the whole thing once n it never recogonized the backup at all ;)

So, check for all these n try again....

good day
[Xperia Arc Android Development] darth5zaft:
i wonder if u can do something like one x

like multitasking button is map to the arc menu, and a legacy menu icon appear if the need for menu button arise
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kistigun:
I'm having a lot of problems with ka15. I'm using doom kernel and the phone is laggy and hangs a lot, a few times a day. The phone doesn't response to anything and i have to remove the battery. Could this be kernel related? I had no problem on ka14 with the same kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] omtay2311995:
Thanks mr krabappel for the good work

What we like from you right know is to postpone making releases for few days

Instead we would like you to fix our ka15 with add-ons solving the following problems:

1- fix the few camera bugs listed in various comments

2- add Wi-Fi direct (please don't be mad I mentioned this a lot:p)

3- fix xperia s music player that it would work with dsp and lock screen and notifications controls

4- the flash doesn't work with the camera nor the flashlight app

Please take your time and provide as with these fixes instead of letting as suffer from different bugs like every time

Please take this in considering and please if are making your time for xperia s please just make as a perfect rom and then give all your time for your LT26i

Thanks a lot for your work again:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] guza88:
Yes, I figured Nandroid backup everything, I used a complete backup to revert to an older version of rom once. But the problem I had with KA14 was that I had complete backup on KA13 and when I switched to 14 I tried to restore only data via advanced restore and then I got no status bar issue on KA14. But that doesn't matter now, I fetched most of the apps I had before so everything is fine now.

And thanks for renaming tips but Ill keep the original names for now since I don't have that many backups for now so I can tell them apart. :)

Waiting for KA16... :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] amulbaby:
Ok now I got a lifesaver app for you which can let you restore specific apps from a nandroid backup ...B-)

Search the Play Store for a app named "appextractor" ...

Don search for "app extractor" I mean don leave a space between the two words :-P.... They are two different apps and APPEXTRACTOR can pull out apps and can even differentiate between user apps n system apps.

The app also claims to restore call logs ,sms ,mails and contacts but unfortunately it didn't work for me once when I tried to restore my contacts :-(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hesamodin:
hi

when rom comes up it has no wallpaper.no status bar.and a black

background

what should i do???

i do all the steps

plz help.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
You have to flash the battery% mod from 1st post. then you should have the status bar and a wallpaper:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] guza88:
K, will try. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] amulbaby:
Hey vipul,

guess i found out the solution ...it doesn't work because you need aosp telephonyservice.apk,and i think it dependent on framework, and we have SEMC framework not aosp.

I m uploading semctelephonyprovider and contacts provider .....add this to ur /system/app folder too and change permissions n re-try...

good luck
[Xperia Arc Android Development] borjok536:
why is that no flash on camera????
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
My Neo is broken since yesterday....

I haven't did anything on the rom because of that.. Hope my Neo will be fixed soon
[Xperia Arc Android Development] omtay2311995:
sad news man hope you get it fixed soon

isn't there any another developer here who can try n' fix this cam issue?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jonxz:
Seems LiveView has problem with ICS, I think I have to force to use 2.3 before they have an upgrade :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] FireEye:
Great Rom man, but a question: the last android 4 I used had a player in the notification but in this I don't have it. Can you add it or tell me how to add it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jonxz:
I use Winamp, that works pretty well~
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
It's because of the Xperia S music player

And after some analysing it turns out my screen is broken.. So I'll have to let my phone be repaired in the store, hope this is included in my warranty
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
I guess I'll roll back to KA13 until then. KA14 makes my phone reboot very often... I hope they'll fix your Neo soon.

Hello, got a few questions:

1. Is it possible to replace this thing here with the vanilla Sony Xperia S button?:

2. Is there any Dolby/SRS port for Xperia Arc S and maybe be added to this ROM?...

3. How is the RAM performance?

4. Is the battery life better than the one on the Xperia Arc S with no updates (aka 2.3.4?)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] daveybaby:
Well, this was my first custom ROM for the arc, and i'm very impressed. Stable, goes like a rocket, no major bugs that i've found.

Suggestions for improvement:

* Fix display of dock overlay

* Include AppWidgetPicker 2.0 (i cant get it working with this rom)

* Get the camera flash working

And if youre feeling extravagent:

* Add auto-brightness

* Add screenshot on power menu

But yeah, loving it so far. Only planned to install it temporarily, but now going to keep it as my day-to-day rom.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 3e70:
sometime when i try change the brightness from quick panel, I get the message "IU has stopped the system"
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
So if your screen is broken we cant expect any new upfates or fixs in the next few days?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I'm going to try to release a new version with fixes included asap :) I will pm some random members to test everything then ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zainthesnipe:
I will be eagerly waiting
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kaikool:
I dont know why it was so laggy? I did evrything as your notices.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jonxz:
I am not sure if this is the ICS problem...

LiveView work on the ROM somehow, then it stopped. Same happened to Winamp. Then I go to the developer setting and set the max background process to 4, it last longer before it stopped.

But the max process I can set is 4? Or anyway I can put an app to no kill list?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HorvathTheWizard:
Sorry... Facebook Xperia works on final ICS? In Beta ICS Contacts Sync don't works (i must use a dedicate app from Market).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] paulinodf:
OMG please! Update this rom... KA14 was nice on the begining... but it's killing my arc S now... KA15 is very buggy to be installed. We need KA16!

when you get your neo back and I hope you do can you make an add on for having the notification bar time in the middle?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Yes, maybe, I'm making KA16 right now ;)

Just searching in the thread what the bugs are on KA15
