Hi,

I have been having similar issues to sunbriel with regards to GO SMS. Messages have not been sent/received properly. The ones that have appeared seem to go straight to my inbox with no notification sound/icon appearing.

I have had issues in the past with GO SMS since using your earlier ROMs. When I open it, I have to touch my screen within a few seconds, otherwise the app closes straight away and takes me back to home screen. I have not experienced any issues like this with other apps, so I am wondering if its an ICS issue conflicting with GO SMS in some way, but it is very frustrating as I do txt alot.

I have been using the stock ICS kernel and currently on KA15. Also been getting alot of homescreen redraws lately. Do these latest versions come pre-supercharged or do I need to install this script?

These issues aside, I have been very pleased with this ROM and appreciate your efforts krabappel. Looking forward to next release and hopefully this will fix the issues

Oh, forgot to say too, from Day 1 been having problem with my digital clock widget keeping time correctly - not a biggie, but still would be nice if that could be fixed. Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bambotcha:
please if you can help me with this

first of all i would like to appreciate your efforts and i want to tell you that you are a genius and i really respect you and your great work considering the ARC S ICS and continues follow up and updates...

second i have a big problem which i failed to find it any solution over the internet, :confused:

i have an SMS thread holding more than 1000 messages maybe more..and this makes the messaging application go very slow in general when opening this thread specially which is a disaster if i wish to write a new message in it! the key strokes have a big delay till it writes what i pressed! and as well when receiving an sms from this contact sometimes it doesn't get me the notification of the new message!

when i was exploring my friend's Samsung galaxy ace phone (running android) i found an option in the messages setting which is the maximum number of messages in a thread ... i didn't find it on my xperia ARC S phone .. i think i am in need for this option or an alternative as not to have to delete the whole conversation but keep it and start a new one when it get to the maximum messages number...please help me in this asap as it is a big headache for me .. thank you :):)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] snuupy93:
The ROM is perfect. Work perfect,fastest then 2.3.4, but don't have macro mode in camera - this is BULS*IT! How can they do this?! I mean Sony.. why?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kossie12:
Are you going to include appman in the next version?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zainthesnipe:
Xperia s music app and dsp have been "coming today " for about a week now
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kossie12:
Give him some time, i think he is busy with something more important.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Aleebaan:
If i am on rooted .562 , Do i need to unlock my bootloader to flash this? Or can i just skip flashing the Doomlord kernel?

Skickat från min LT18i via Tapatalk
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kossie12:
You need an unlocked bootloader for this
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Yes, very busy with schoolwork.. I have a lot to do so almost no time for Android development
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kossie12:
Sure school first!

Btw is there any chance you will release the dsp add-on soon?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I think I'll have some time tomorrow before noon ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kossie12:
I would really appreciate that!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I'm working on it right now :) uploaded and added on first post :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
whats about the update tomorrow? Are you ready? No presssure just want to know:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I don't know if I can make it in time ;) but it's looking good at the moment :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Maxitay:
I installed the Xperia S music which is really beautiful with some very god features (like change the audio file's informations) but there is some bugs.

An error occur very often and the app stops working (force close). So I must press play again to listen to the music. :(

There is also a problem with albums covers. In some menus they don't appear. For exemple when I go to my albums, I can't see any album covers and also when I play a music the cover doesn't appear. But I can see the cover when I'm in a album (I don't know if it's clear ^^). Well, it is not a big problem but it's just to keep you informed ;)

It's impossible to download informations formusic with Gracenote and SenseMe channel (a playlist) doesn't work. But I don't think that it is really important for the moment ^^

I also noticed that xLoud doesn't work anymore. Do you have an idea why?

Otherise, DSP Manager works like a charm with Xperia S music player! It's great! If you have time, try to see what are the problems. If you don't, we will wait KA17 this is not a problem :)

Thanks for your work!

EDIT: There is a force close with Xperai S music in landscape mod.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
ok, I'll try to fix those problems asap ;)

KA17 coming tomorrow probably :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Full KA17 changelog :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kistigun:
nice! can't wait. Hopefully whit this new version i will have goog battery life
[Xperia Arc Android Development] linx1287:
so when do we get a chance to run this rom?? :P :P have been waiting for an update
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I think around 10pm :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gabimx:
will wait.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] digitalsuni:
Oooooohhhh, upload it asap bro
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
I read there is a GPS bug, so this means no GPS!?

Still waiting for the new download link though :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I'm not home so I can't upload it earlier ;)

I don't know if there is a gps bug in KA17 ;) haven't tested it yet ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
hopes for the best bro :cool:

by the way you said download links will be available @ 10pm, is it GMT or?!

so I can know at what time it will be available according to my local time :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] st11lgar:
/dev/log/main - no such file or directory

Have you disabled the debugging?

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Maxitay:
Seems really great!! :D Aroma installer is really good, thanks for including this in you're ROM!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I'm in GMT +2 ;)

You're welcome :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
Thanks bro, still 1.30 hours to wait :cool:

by the way what does Aroma installer bring which made everyone happy that it's included now in the ROM :confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Quilapvd:
Upload god damn that KA17 release :P. Can't wait :). How is the battery doing btw @ 17?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
It's a custom installer to install the rom :)

It gives the user a nice graphical interface and wizard for installing the rom with addons etc ;)

I just got home, still need to fix Wi-Fi first ;)

EDIT: uploading for Neo now, Arc is next in line :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] simonsy:
Hi tanks for the hard works! In the changeolog is written then there are newer Adreno graphical drivers, are they more recent than the drivers in the previous relese (KA 16)?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
It are the latest drivers Adreno gave free ;) so I think they are the same as KA16 ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
That's racist :P

and by the way, the wifi fix you are going to apply does it fix the week performance of the wifi!?! cuz ever since I updated to ICS (either custom or stock) wi-fi performance went down :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Haha^^ I'm sorry, I have a Neo so I upload that version first :p

The drivers are the same.. I can try to take a look at it later this week ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
I admire your hard bro & your support :)

Thanks, and I can't wait to check your latest update :D

By the way a tiny question not related to the thread, does it really need a build server to create a custom ROM?! I looked online and all I found is tutorials that use a build server :S

I would like to try building but getting my hand on a server is not possible at all :eek:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
No, you don't need a build server ;) I just use my laptop for making my roms :)

- Intel i7 2720QM

- Nvidia GT555M

- 8GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM

- Dual boot Windows 7 Ultimate & Ubuntu 11.04
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
Great, I have a desktop running Core 2 Quad with a 4GB RAM and 1GB Nvidia Geforce 8600 (of course I'm not gonna use my laptop for such things since it has an i3 and 4GB of RAM with embedded graphics card)

but the question remains, which programs should I use for such job?

I'm familiar with these things but just couldn't find the programs I need for such task :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I would recommend to start theming first, then decompiling, recompiling apks to learn about their structure and then start trying to makie a rom ;)

KA17 is released for Neo & Neo V, so Arc & Arc S version is uploading now, 15% :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
you have a good point there. I will start with those since they are simple compared with creating custom ROM's :)

Waiting for the upload to finish, my Arc S is ready to be flashed :cool:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
ok, making a custom rom isn't that difficult actually :) it's only very difficult if you cook a rom completely from source :p

btw: the upload is 55% now ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
Great 45% to go :cool::D

By the way if it's not that difficult I would really appreciate it if you guide me on how to do it (I mean which apps to use for the job), I have a strong background in programming and I'm familiar with those things, nevertheless I'm new to working with ROM's and creating custom ones.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
sent me a pm tomorrow about it, I don't have anymore time today to do all this ;)

85% uploaded :) you can already make a backup of your data :p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
Thanks a lot bro, will do so the first thing in the morning :)

as for my data everything is backed up and ready when you said 15% uploaded :cool:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Quilapvd:
Ka17 wil be android 4.1 or?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
No still 4.0.3 ;)

lol :D

KA17 is officially released for Arc & Arc S now :cool:

Let me know if I forgot to add something ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
Download started :cool:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kistigun:
can i use the ad-ons in the first post with KA17?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Quilapvd:
Downloading, thanks.

No need to flash the build.prop? (ARC S).

Also can I install the KA16 addons?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
You don't need to flash Arc S build.prop separately ;) it's integrated in AROMA installer ;)

Some add-ons are included in AROMA installer ;)

but you can use the add-ons from KA15/KA16
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Quilapvd:
First problem.. WiFi is not working over here...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
I have a question, in Aroma installer the only two options I get in choosing the device model are: Neo & Neo V, while I have an Arc S :confused:

edit:

I chose the Neo and then Aroma showed me my device is Arc when instillation was done :confused:

Booting into system Now :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Six6sHot:
I choose the Neo V hopefully it will show up as an Arc S
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
I reflashed the system and chose Neo V but forgot to take a look at what Aroma said the device was :S

what did it tell you?!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Six6sHot:
Device is: Xperia Arc S (LT18i):)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
Thanks bro :D

(ironically I pressed the thanks button to find this: sorry you are limited to 8 thanks per day :confused: )
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Six6sHot:
I'll install and test a couple of games on this rom, hopefully ShadowGun's touch screen issue is gone
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Probably not, still the same graphic drivers ;)

Problems with wifi here?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
yup, wifi aint working...

Other than that everything seems great :D

Edit:

In wi-fi advanced settings, it's showing MAC address not available
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Some users have working wifi, others don't, that's strange :s
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
do you think it has to do with Router settings?!

or is it regional ?!

in both ways I will check my wifi settings and install Wi-Fi fix on my device to check if this helps :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Six6sHot:
I have a problem, after flashing the rom, my phone rebooted and then I got a message saying android is upgrading, then my phone rebooted and showed android is upgrading again, the 3rd time it rebooted I was taken to the lockscreen, I unlocked the phone and I just got a load of force closes of apps.

Anyways I think it is because of the kernel I'm using (don't even know which kernel it is) Tomorrow I will flash the correct kernel and reinstall the mod.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kistigun:
also no wifi for me. Any way i can adjust the power statusbar widgets?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
the dev included a link for the kernel in the first post.

I got bootloops before flashing the kernel he told us about.

so check the link bro ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
it seems I forgot to include the quickpanelsettings app..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Maxitay:
No Wi-Fi problem for me ( I installed DoomKernel's modules because I'm using DoomKernel ICS).

For the moment I don't have any problem but I noticed that the Home Screen is 4x4 and not 4x5 as you expected. I use a theme in order to have a Xperia S looking interface and some folders in my home screen were out of limits.

Besides, there isn't Xperia S music player anymore. Maybe you haven't solved all the problem with it ^^ For now, I will use the Xperia S player included in my theme with DSP manager in you're add on :)

And thanks again for Aroma installer, it's really easier to install you're ROM! Even more for me because I used to download every add on :p

EDIT: Mmmm I have a little issue :p When I press the power button, my phone shutdown immediately :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
yup, wifi issue gone when used doom kernel latest version (and flashing wifi modules) ;)

till now this ROM seems great, no issues... will continue testing tomorrow :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 4thMARCH:
why i saw KA17 Baseband is 64 not 70 in my ARC?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] drew261920:
device model neo and neo v only im arc s how?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] paulinodf:
I get an error when flashing the .ftf file. Take a look:

03/028/2012 00:28:12 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="MEMORY_CLASS";ERR_STATIC="HASH_VER";ERR_DYNAMIC="Final data verification failed";
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
You have to check the "no final data verification" box in flashtool. He wrote this in the instructions...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] drew261920:
you have to check not uncheck
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
THX I've correct it:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dexterdave:
Does this update fix the touch screen issue when playing games?or is it still using the same drivers for adreno that cause glitches in some games?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Juztapose:
no wifi. im in stock kernel ~.~
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nofraxx:
Hi there, after flashing KA17 my LT18i is an LT15i...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
Still no Wifi even with arc night kernel. I try now Doomlords...

EDIT: With Doomloards kernel wifi is working.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
Choose the Neo V and when the instillation is done, Aroma will tell you your device is Arc S :cool:

---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------

Reflash it again but this time, in Aroma installer, choose Custom instillation, and select your device model to be Neo V, once the install process is done Aroma will show you that the device is Arc S (LT18i) :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
i cant access the download for the rom anyone know why?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nofraxx:
ok now it is an LT18i :-)

But WiFi does not work with ArcKnight Kernel V8...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
I think there is a problem with XDA file server, I can't access it either right now :s

---------- Post added at 10:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

Download Doomloard kernel from here for the wifi to work :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
thanks for the answer, I thought I was the problem..... I hope its back soon I wanna try the rom
[Xperia Arc Android Development] caqo71:
Touch screen issues is Sony related, not ROM developers. I think that sony still has a lot to do with ICS, so don't blame rom devs for game issues, in fact, there is no rom that works with games 100%.

Anyone that wants to play in their phones, just stick with GB till sony release a real "final, official" rom. ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
Your welcome :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] linx1287:
hows the battery usage when using doomkernel & ka17?? if i want to revert to another kernel..say stock ics with cwm will it cause problems?? reason i am asking is because doomkernel requires you to flash modules seperately...so i was wondering if i have to remove them seperately as well...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dexterdave:
thanks for enlightening me that this is sony's fault;) and i dont blame dev for that btw, atleast i know its sony:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HorvathTheWizard:
Tnx for new update. I will try soon.

Weather Widget is working now?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
Yup it's working now :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
Yes it is working. But if you update be sure u are using dommlords kernel. with the others you will have no wifi.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
Well I used ICS Stock & ArcKnight kernel's but wi-fi didn't work. So I falshed Doom's kernel and wi-fi is back ;)

as for the modules I don't think they will cause an issue after change to a different kernel, before I flash this rom I used to have ArcKnight, changed to Doom's then back to ArcKnight, and the modules didn't cause me an issue on the previous ROM ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lord5619:
Wifi doesent work (fixed permissions, kernel modules flashed) ArcKnight v7
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
We (users) were only able to make it work using Doom's Kernel and his Modules :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] linx1287:
thanx mate for the info.....did you use ka16 yet?? i dont know whether to make the leap to ka17 yet.....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
I don't know if anyone has already posted about this but I can't seem to add songs to a playlist with xperia s player is there a fix for this?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
No I didn't, but I tried the Stock ICS and I can assure you it's better.

NOTE: I don't install games on my phone, so I don't know about gaming but as for the rest it's a great ROM :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I just got home and I'm going to make KA17.2 now ;)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
installation failed for the following:

SYNTAX ERROR!!! aroma-config on line 254 col 19

E:Error in /sdcard/KA17_Ice_Cream_Sony_Arc&ArcS.zip

(Status 1)

is it because of something I forgot to do?!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
No, deleted the rom from mediafire, it's an error in the script, I made a mistake ;)

I've edited the script and I'm reuploading the rom now for release, no more testing from now on :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
ok then, waiting for the new file :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Quilapvd:
Oke nice one.. Fixed up the wifi failure with flashing dooms arc 562 cwm stock wifi modules.. http://puu.sh/sotL

What about beatsaudio? And Xperia S sound enz.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I just want the rom itself to be good now ;) I'll do the add-ons later because main rom is more important :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chiefy009:
Is the s ui theme on this Rom ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
Thanks bro, will test it tonight once I'm back home :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dongmen:
can you send me :D i will test now :)

//sorry for my bad english :confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Six6sHot:
If you don't know, to avoid problems with this mod, Install the kernel provided by the Dev or Doom's Kernel and flash the modules, if you get an option of the Neo V or Neo in Aroma installer then select Neo if you have the Arc and Neo V if you have the Arc S.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
This is fixed in KA17.2 :)

KA17.2 is finished :) uploading it now :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vr5411:

Thanks in advance!

I hate that notification
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Qwerty123 \m/:

- 1 rom for Ray

But in a future release it will be like this ;)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Finalfour:
How about facebook inside xperia? Is all add ons from first post compactible with 17.2? They seems written for ka16...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
They will work, KA16 & KA17 are both based on official ICS :)
