Dude, you need to wipe the data and cache. I just installed this ROM and everything is there. There is market and most of the desired apps.

Since everyone is already talking about what is not working in this ROM, I will rather talk about what is amazing about this ROM -

1. Every single touch of theme to this ROM is well planned, very mild and beautiful themes in themes section (I like the world theme most).

2. Launcher themed to look like Xperia S.

3. The app drawer icon in the middle is changed (intelligently) to the AOSP ICS while rest of it is untouched (best of the both worlds).

4. Widget icons in drop-down statusbar add to the glowing minimalistic look of the ROM.

5. Two most beautiful live wallpapers from Xperia S added without adding any other crap.

6. Didn't use the ROM enough to comment about battery (a major concern for me is battery, I hate most of the tweaked ROMs floating here), but it BY A CLEAR MILE the most smooth and fastest of all ICS beta ROMs.

Things I would like to add/change (to make this ROM perfect in looks) -

1. Icons in statusbar (GSM signal bars, wifi bars, battery and clock text) should be the Sony's beta one's or something which goes with the look and feel of the ROM. Blue-Cyan icons of stock ICS look horrible on this ROM.

2. Mr. Developer, there is no Face unlock option in the security. I hope you add it on this ROM, it's a key player in the Arc's ICS porting business imo.

Chao,

Hi krabappel2548,

Thanks for a great Rom it was really what I was looking for, I was wondering could you add the following, I have tried myself to add the widgets and remove things but it crashed after setup by saying setup not working.

1. The following apps,

Latest Weather widget

Latest Calender

Latest Clocks

Latest Facebook app

Quick Panel Settings for system ui

Smart Contacts

Smart Search

All Latest Social Pane Widgets

Latest on/off widget

2. Could you make dock reflect icons?

3. Could you add fastboot to reboot options?

Also battery is draining very badly. I have my own default themes which I created is there anyway for me to implement these?.

with regards to the previous mentioned I was using arc rom as a base and I added lastes S apps and a custom system ui tranparent along with reboot options and my own custom themes everything worked perfect but I really like the look of ICS so if I could have S apps in ICS style with some nice tweaks I.e my themes and custom system ui I think it would be perfect.

Also the music apk you include is this the latest as there is one which is approx 11mb which looks really nice.

Can you also remove the following, genie, stk, talk, japeneseIME, SEemail, SEclock, live wallpapers, magic smoke wallpapers, Po box skins, secure clock java, status switch, old on/off widgets, maps and street etc etc, just to trim the rom a bit

Thanks a lot in advance

Mav
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Thanks, I can go back to the sony icons in the status bar if there are more users that want it :) But you can also do this yourself ;) it's very easy to change a few icons :)

But if you really want the Sony icons I can also give you a SystemUI.apk with sony icons ;)

I will remove some more things before next release to trim my rom a bit :D

And I also love the new Xperia S widgets and apps, but the problem is that they are for Gingerbread and I cannot port them before Sony will release ICS sources or apps for any Xperia phone..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
Sooo my phone has made it through 14h 45min with battery...

I dont know if thats good. For me its ok because i can charge my phone at work and at home. but i just want to inform you and all other users.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
Depends on what you've been doing with your phone in those 14 hours and 45 minutes. Some details would be nice.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] vaibhavknockout:
I don't want to sound like I am forcing requests on the developer (well yes I am...:o) but I have no clue on how to change statusbar icons in systemUI. So if it is not too much hassle for you, could you please upload a systemUI with Sony's icons (or may be a short guide would do, an addition to my Namaste guide...:D).

And can you comment about the status of the face unlock feature please. Thanks in advance.

PS - Battery life is pretty good on this ROM (comparable to the stock ICS beta).

Chao,

[Xperia Arc Android Development] yeubacgiang:
how about battery life, guys?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Pasi_K:
Same or better than other ICS roms. Using this since the release. Very good rom, maybe best for now...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] yeubacgiang:
its battery drains like a monter drinks water :-s
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Ok, I will provide systemUI with sony icons for those who want it :)

I edited some more things to try and fix this problem some user are facing..

I don't have problems with battery life so the problem is I don't know if it fixes anything before I release the update
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Development is stopped for unknown time because of this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17362643

[Xperia Arc Android Development] navidmustafa:
Sorry about your GF nephew.

After usage of more than 36 hours with all my routine apps installed i really admit that its a wonderful rom. I don't know why people are facing problems but all the things are working pretty fine.

Waiting for next release.

Great Job!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shahzaib.khan:
Can i use supercharger script with this rom ? Because i want bulletproof launcher n currently it does kills automatically n relaunches again after opening some apps

And yeah battery life is far more better then G.B.....love it
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I'll take a look at Wifi direct ;) But if these problems are fixed for KA16 it's a lot better then KA15 :)

I need a few testers for KA16 :) I'm uploading it now :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kossie12:
i would like to be a tester

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

i did a little bit of testing, and here are the results:

- pretty sure the new adreno drivers are included

- stereo audio working

- old music player is back (why?)

- camera has flash again

- I don't have the new weatherwidget add-on

- no bugs found in system UI

No bugs so far, keep up the good work! :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Ok :) new weatherwidget addon isn't added on first post yet ;) will add it tomorrow :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Final changelog for KA16 :) I'm uploading it now :D

can you make it the xperia s weather widget it has super cool animations please!:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I'll try to make it as add-on ;) Last time I trieed it, I couldn't set my location..

KA16 is added on firts post :) No more data wipe now :)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] guza88:
So I don't have to wipe even though im switching from KA14 to KA16?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Oh ok, I'll take a look at it ;) a screenshot with indication would be handy maybe since my screenis broken ;)

If you come from KA14 you have to wipe data and install new baseband etc ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] guza88:
Ok, tnx. KA16 on first page is for testing or its "official" ? :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] matus201:
So I am now on 1.1 arconium rom. I have 70 baseband and doomkernel v4. Do I have to re-flash the ftf package you provide? Or is it OK to simply install the rom?

And if I do have to flash it, does nandroid backup cover the changes? (in other words - what is backed up in nandroid backup? I am quite happy with my rom right now, don't want to set it all up again, just want to try your rom and see if i like it)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
It's official :)

You don't have to reflash baseband etc, just try to install the rom without wiping data :) think that should work ;)

But take a backup first ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HorvathTheWizard:
AddOn are updated? Weather Widget don't works on previous versions.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kossie12:
Should i update with the one from the first post?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
You tested it so you don't need to update ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
No, I'm going to add it tomorrow the other add-ons don't need to be updated :)

how is the batteru life on KA16? on KA15 is was bad but on KA14 it was great

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
Does the Xperia S Player include the DSP Sound Manager?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Did you test KA16 already? ;)

I haven't made this add-on, but I can try to include it, would you like it or not, ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
This would be very awesome. For this I would waive the status bar player and the lock screen player:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kossie12:
Do it
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Ok, I'll try to include working DSP with Xperia S music add-on ;)

but there will be no lockscreen or status bar controls with Xperia S music player ;)

EDIT: Rom moved to XDA fileserver for faster download speeds :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] linx1287:
the lockscreen controls is an important feature & i l really like the Xperia S player...wish both were possible to get....also i have a question...why doesnt the original equalizer for xperia s player work in ICS?? i perfer that over dsp manager....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Because the Xperia S music player etc is all GB (Android 2.3) stuff, as soon as my Xperia S gets the ICS update more apps will be compatible with Xperia 2011 line :)

is it possible to get the lockscreen controls for the xperia s player?? the only ICS rom i have been using all this time was MIUI V4....i want to try Sony ICS now....but i wanna make sure all my criteria are covered before i take the leap....i need lockscreen controls...i need the xperia s player...because i dont like the standard player & i need dsp manager as audio quality comes 1st for me
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I don't know, there are no lockscreen music controls for Xperia S music player, but I can try to add them.

Are there any wifi problems on KA16?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] linx1287:
havent tried out your rom mate....will notify when i flash it & thanks for trying to add lockscreen control

wifi works fine mate....can you give a working dsp that doesnt crash the music player?? thats the only thing i need right now
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mrmojoman:
tried KA16 for some minutes... my phone is getting very warm on the backside. had this problem with KA12 too.

think i solved the problem... i forgot to remove led and flashlight from statusbar
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
My phone's never been this fast and smooth. I don't know if it's because of the Arc-Night kernel, KA16 or both, but it doesn't really matter. If only my arc's housing wasn't so damaged, I'd be fully enjoying this smooth experience. :)

By the way, have you seen the pic of the date toggle I posted some time ago?

Did somebody else have porblems with music? Because I have very big lags when I'm listening to musik with a locked screen. But if nobody else have a Prob with this maybe my hardware is damaged...:( I'm using KA16 and Night-Arc Kernel.

THX for answeres
[Xperia Arc Android Development] omtay2311995:
this could be very obvious but if you only experience this with locked screen than it is nothing series perhaps you are overclocking too much or due to overheat

but if you experience it always than probably the speaker is damaged:(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] osx67:
I have been calling with somebody when suddenly my music player began to play!!! displaying a chronometer on screen!!!! and no no no way to stop it. So I had to remove battery and...

Now I'm back to KA14, and decided to remain within :):)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
Maybe thats it. I'm overclocking just to 1,4GHz. But I will go back to stock and if the music is still broken and crapy I must send it to the repair service... Did anyone know a good TUT to unroot/relock the bootloader?:D:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
I don't know if it's ROM or kernel related, or if it's my operator, but since I'm on KA16 sometimes my SMS messages are not received by the other person and I don't get some messages from the senders. Had an unpleasant situation because of that today. >< Also, I noticed sometimes the notification sound doesn't play when it should even though the sound is on...

[Xperia Arc Android Development] l3mm:
I have experienced this problem recently. I'm still on KA15 however. I use Go SMS and I'm on O2 UK network. Sometimes the texts will go thru to the stock messaging app if I'm lucky, but yes definitely have had texts not coming thru at all.

I have reset network settings in same way as earlier roms but not had this issue before (I think anyway!)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Maxitay:
Hi krabappel!!!

I use you're ROM since KA07 and you do a great job!! I wanted to thank you because I wasn't able to post in this thread before. So thank you!!!

KA16 is really good!! Really fast! I use Doomkernel v4, my Arc is OC at 1.4. But I have the same issue as Jonster111. I have big lags too! I used to have some lags with previous KA version but it was only when the phone was loading something big. Now, lags occur even when my screen is locked. It is quite annoying. Do you have an idea of what could be causing this?

When there was some problem with led brightness in some KA versions, I was wondering if it was possible to use the front led (the 2 led between buttons) as notification led with a high level of brightness? Is it easy to do? Because the notification led is to small and not really useful...

Once again, you're ROM is really good! :)

Sorry for my English :/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] linx1287:
anyone who used MIUI V4 can recall that when you get an sms....a small box comes up with the sms & u can reply from there without ever going to the messaging.....how does that happen?? can that feature be ported to standard ICS roms like the KA16 roms?? that would be the most awesome thing
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
I'm using GO SMS as well. I've also started having issues with the app since I switched to KA16. When I try to open it, only black screen appears with GO SMS name on the top of it. And it's reopening without it getting to the password screen. And when I go back to the homescreen and click on the icon again, it goes directly to the messages instead of the password screen. Never happened before until now.

Anyway KA16 is much better then KA15, I think that KA17 will be even better ;)

Hey, I have a lot of problems with KA16. I can't send anything by bluetooth and I'm not getting the most of the SMS messages. Also sometimes Poweramp randomly closes and I get a lot of FC, not only with user apps, but also with system apps. I don't know if it might be kernel related, though. Anyone else experiencing such problems? I'll try with stock ICS kernel if no one else has the same problems, I'm on Arc-Night.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
Another problem appeared. Actually more than one. First one would be that there is NO STATUS BAR. I rebooted my device and when it came back on, there was no status bar. Tried with Notification Restart app, but phone froze, screen faded out and the phone restarted. I tried restarting the phone couple of times, but with no luck. I still don't have the status bar. Then at the same time my stats bar disappeared, my wallpaper changed to that default blue wallpaper of some sea, or whatever and my go launcher theme does not load.

Then before all that, the wallpaper on the lockscreen stays black, instead of it matching my home launcher wallpaper.

So basically, I have a lot of problems now..... :\
