Same issues for every KA rom.

I tried all the custom roms of ur development section every single rom worked except this one. :eek::mad:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
Just a question: When is the end of the week? :p :angel:

Just a few things I noticed: I don't have the same launcher as seen on the pics in the first post. Also the background picture is missing.

If I want to update YouTube, the installer says that the package is not signed.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
End of the week is today :) I was 2 days out of town with my girlfriend so I'll release it tonight :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Since I've been gone for a while because of exams etc here is the BIG changelog for you guys :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] creem:
Thanks for the update.

I hope I will not wait long for the download link :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I'm uploading Neo version now and my tester on Ray confirmed the rom wasn't booting on Ray. So I don't know what to do for my Arc version :confused:

Release it with a chance of bootloop or wait until tomorrow and let someone test it?? :)

Arc is almost the same as Neo, so the chance of bootloop is very small :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
Thanks for your absolute great work! I hope you injoyed the time with your girl-friend - it's way more important than satisfy some Android users :p...

Did you read my problem about YouTube and the not correctly signed package? Is this caused by this ROM or something else?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
it's caused by the youtube app you want to install, it means it isn't correctly signed, so try another youtube app :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
It's the standard app.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
ok, weird :confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
I'll look at it after installing KA21.

A last quick question: Is it possible to include this new weather widget in the next version (look at the first picture - another picture here). It's the one which expands after touching it. I don't know if it works with the launcher/Home.apk, but it's so much nicer and has both versions in it (the standard Sony vertical and the new expandable). I tried to install it manually with SManager, but it won't load correct in the widget picker. I just have too little time in the moment, but I don't want to bother you with unimportant things. This ROM is - after I tried some of them - the best overall. I'll donate in a few days. Thanks for your time.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I already have included the weather widget and Xperia S home + widget chooser like your screenshot ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] MaxFTW:

Nice video overview! :good: KA 20.1 is amazing.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] baydi:
Where is link download? I cant wait. It so hot :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Coming soon ;) I updated the rom some more before release ;)

EDIT: Screenshots are finally updated :D rom is uploading ;)

EDIT2: Rom is released :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dbox:
Krab, i have big respect to Your work.

But KA21 is worst of all KA update. GSM (!!!) not working, WiFi not working, system apps crashes (including Settings), no AOSP unlock screen, LEDs are too tight (again), etc.. etc..

I'm back to KA20.1

I don't want to offend you, but it is a disaster.. :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SirMarco:
Which Kernel??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
First test (2 min.): It tends to be difficult...

No weather widget I can choose from even with the new picker, no ICS wave-lock screen (didn't found it! - was one of the biggest reason for installing KA), the bottom leds are very bright (don't know if it's correct, but it seems so) and I miss some of the new apps posted in the changelog. I'll look after it later when I get home from work.

Beside of those things the ROM is

very

smooth (Arc Knight Kernel 3.3)!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
It's weird gsm and wifi aren't working. I'll look at it after work.

Ok, the weather widget is in the NXT add-on ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jonxz:
I am running 20.1 but I cannot find any music widget....

edit:Oh nevermind... The Music Widget only available on stock home, I was using Zeam launcher...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
Thanks for your answer!

That means I've to install NXT for the full feature package? Ok, I'll try it later. It seems that I've to play with different installations and look what I get. One important question: Perhaps I'm too dumb, but Wave-Lock is not integrated? I'm sorry to bother you with this the third time, but it looks so great.

GSM and WiFi are working for me, but I don't use the stock kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mr.alawi:
hi

i did flash KA21 by doing a clean flash for KA20.1 first then i flashed k21 without wiping data only wiping delvik cash for me wifi and gsm are working but my status bar wasn't showing

and i get an error i don't remember what is it cause i flashed back to KA20.1

also i couldn't open Gallery album ... also i tried to flash KA21 after wiping everything but i get stuck on X logo

mmm sorry to ask you but could you please separate jelly beans wallpapers and jelly beans animation boot logo cause Xperia logo is much cooler :P but it's if didn't i still see your ROM is the best for me ^_^
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alexdonwarez:
everything is working fine, besides the video player app crashes on playing video files
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sevoir:
wifi wont working

Hi..

I updated from KA20.1 ROM to new KA21, but WiFi dont work now...

What can I do? Help me.

I'm using DoomKernel ..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
You've to install the WiFi modules again.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sevoir:
Can you drop me a link about wifi modules? thanks

Solved - Sorry, I found it on my scard :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I'm going to upload the add-on today ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
That's great. I didn't expect it from you. I could look after it myself.

Next thing: My second look on your ROM! I installed the NXT package and some other apps. Hey, most of them are really cool. At the end of the day (sitting in the sunshine of our balcony) the ROM is the one I'll keep on my phone. It's like a marriage: You know when it's the right woman :-) - here I know it's the right ROM.

I'll search for a trick to reduce the brightness of the button LEDs, but that's it for now. Thanks again for your fantastic work.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the album app doesn't show uploaded pics and doesn't let me choose something from where it should display them (bad sentence).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sevoir:
Packages error

Hi,

When I probe update packages from Google Play, it say: Packagefile is not valid..

What is problem ?

KA21 is cool, but I mistaked something or what?

Sorry my english :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
I had this problem with YouTube, too (don't know whether it was 20.1 or 21). I installed KA21 from scratch and now it works again.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Framework mod add-on is added in first post ;)

So wave lockscreen and reboot menu is back :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
The package has a size of 11 MB. I think most the files will be replaced rather than added, right?

edit: Hmm, after installing 7parts the new option-button (3 dots) is taken away from all apps.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
I've been trying the ROM for about 30 minutes and I'm pretty impressed, liking the smoothness and the Xperia S apps ^_^

the only problem I had with the wi-fi modules of the ArcKnight kernel, they didn't work, which kernel do you recommend for me to use? since I'm now stuck without wi-fi :confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Duvel999:
use the one of sirkay...:)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1653655

works very good
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
Thanks for your help, downloading :D

Edit: Thanks it worked but the moment my Wi-Fi is connected it disconnect :S
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
Try 3.3 test with modules. It works.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
I thought of it, but when I read the change log, the dev said there are few big issues like major slowdown and the device freezes. that's why I changed my mind.

do you think trying the 3.3 modules will work with version 3.1?!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
Actually the Major issues where happening on RC3.1 but I've fixed them and both RC3.3 Versions are almost bug free no issues at all and great bat life.... You should test it :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
I have ArcKnight 3.3 stock version with 3.3 wifi modules and it runs very smoothly, so I recommend it.

My one problem not solved..

When I want install app from Google Play some app says: Package file is invalid

I tried following steps:

Go to “Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications

Tap to show “All” Applications

Scroll down to the Market App and tap it

Tap “Clear Cache” and “Clear Data”

After I restarted my Arc S in recovery mode, deleted Dalvik Cache.

But problem is not solved yet...

Some app is okay, but some app not ok.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
Thanks a lot for clearing it up for me :)

I will be testing your the latest version now :D

Edit: Does Movies app crash for anyone?! It crashes every time I attempt to play a video :S

+1 for the wifi performance on this ROM, this and CM9 are the only ICS Roms I tried that kept my wifi without issues :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dbox:
I tried KA21 on 3 kernels: Trinity, Doom and ArcKnight. With all this kernels GSM not working for me, even no screen to enter PIN :( WiFi working with ArcKnight kernel + stock modules. Credential Manager allways crashes after boot. Some apps too, for e.g. Google Maps, Titanium Backup etc., but it's random. LEDs light always is too bright. I tried install this ROM without and with wipe Dalvik cache, no effect.

What the hell? Any ideas?

btw: KA20.1 working fine on all kernels and baseband versions..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mr.alawi:
i really like KA21 but there is annoying problem i'm facing ... when i restart my phone or when i open Xperia S Album or Movies i get an error "unfortunaltely connected devices has stopped" or " credentialmangerservice_1_5 has stopped" also there is no clear bass in walkman player ..but for now how to stop these error that i'm getting everytime ?

ohh and i did installed KA addon for xperia S weather widget .. hope anyone can help me with this
[Xperia Arc Android Development] theduke89:
+1!!! Movies app Force closes also for me...and it's a pity because it looks very good...:-( (please don't tell me to use mx player!! I would like that this rom app works!)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Overdose1986:
Downloading right now, the best custom rom, no bugs
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Did you install stk ( sim toolkit) in AROMA?

If.you do a clean installation you won't have this problem ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mr.alawi:
thats what i did .. i made a clean installation of KA20.1 by wiping everything system,delvik cash and partition first then after rebooting i entered the ROM KA 20.1 and i rebooted to CWM then i flashed KA21 then after rebooting from AROMA i entered CWM and flashed KA Addon for weather widget

and i flashed WIFI model for Arcknight kernel ... is there any thing wrong with my installation ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
Dont enter 20.1 again. Just put the rom on the sd card, wipe everything and turn it off. then enter directly cwm and install KA21, boot it once, reboot into cwm again and install wifi modules.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dbox:
Of course I installed.

It's strange that after every reboot the system optimizes 12 apps.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
Waiting for the next update :D, till now I'm having the best battery life (lost 5% after 7 hours of the last charge, of course the phone was idle, usually I lose about 11%)

Smooth and fast, the only issues i'm getting for now is Force Close of some apps like Google+, Movies (so far only those forced close), and if anyone noticed the screen takes a second or so to turn on when hitting the power or home button :confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] m0h33z:
m0h33z

is this rom odexed or deodexed
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mr.alawi:
huh ? you mean after wipe everything i flash KA21 ? wouldn't that will make me get stuck on xperia logo ? and i was following krabappel's instructions cause he said if i do a factory reset it will cause bootloop...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
No, I installed KA21 five times without any problems after a full wipe.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Silesh.Nair:
Deodexed.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] MaxFTW:
I would like to have Multi Angle 3D photo mode from Xperia S in the next update :3

Anyways, that's awesome.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] theduke89:
Krabappel, what do you tell us about movies app force closing?? Is there any fix?? Thanks :-)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
- Is it true that the button LEDs are brighter than in 20.1? I'm not sure about the settings in hw_config.sh.

- Another thing: Integrating the Wave-lock from 20.1 into 21 gives you the new options button back (3 vertical points) AND let you use the Wave-lock function! PERFECT!

- Using the new Album, you can't choose any provider for the Online Photo Tab. Is something missing?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
It's from Xperia S so I'll try to make it work ;)

I don't know haven't tried the online photo thing, I'll take a look at it later :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] theduke89:
Thank you very much, I'll wait :-)

@dev

An amazing feature could be an improvement for messages.

When u r sending an sms and after that u unlock the device, the message didn't 'leave' the phone. it remains outcoming but it doesnt start! when u unlock the device the sms will send. how can we solve this problem?

-excuse me for my bad english-
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
Just wait the one second till the massege gets out??:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tommy paradise:
-sms improvement and if its possibible a quicker interface (xperia mod is a little bit faster)

-yes but i think that could be better

-yep

-yep

-testing

ps

awesome rom, tnk mate, good job
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
That's possible :) I didn't experienced this problem yet :)

Thx :) KA07 is fully uploaded now, mediafire link added on first post :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Quilapvd:
Flashed KA07.. Now my LT18i shows as an LT15i (in phone...) > Fastfix svp :).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Did you read installation instructions? ;)

I provided a build.prop for Arc S users with downloads, just replace yours with that one ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tommy paradise:
Some little 'bugs' i found:

-when u press reboot or shutdown (in notifies) the notify bar remain closed

-whatsapp notify (or notifies in general) have to be bigger (too small)

-the system righ now didn't crash but its a too slow (im my opinion)

for the rest, the rom works perfectly :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
Must i reinstall the v6supercharger after installing your new version?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Yes, because it isn't supercharged yet, will do it in KA08 or KA09 ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
Okay, here are my comments on the ROM:

The ROM is a bit slow, but I see you're gonna supercharge it in the next release. The auto rotation and vibration icons in Power control widget do not match the rest of the icons (they are white when not active). Regarding the Power control settings: will you add the option in the settings with which we would be able to choose what widgets we want and in what order? Because currently I believe there isn't such an option, correct me if I'm wrong. Also, I suggest you add the mod under home launcher widgets in which all the widgets of the same origin are under one icon, if you know what I mean. There is such a mod here somewhere in the arc forum, but it's for GB (the mod is also included in CyanogenMod 7, btw). And I see that the kernel provided does not support overclock, so I might try DooMKerneL. I can't report on battery life since I've flashed the ROM just an hour ago. Everything else works fine, for now.

Kudos to you :)

Always bootloop..

[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Try to install .62 firmware with wotan or flashtool and then install my rom
[Xperia Arc Android Development] PuhapÖcsi:
Use correct kernel.

doomkernel suited for GB
[Xperia Arc Android Development] soumya_digi:
Use the ICS beta kernel. v20 will not work with this ROM.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] MOHAMED FATOUH:
let me tell you that all we are including me were expecting that your rom will be the best and final and we may try other roms just for knowledge but your rom will the base and i will assume your rom as the official rom that it has every thing specially yur rom about 177 mega and that is a lot . but i find out that there is so many issues in your rom . i did not try it yet but that is the opinion of previous posts on KA07. i hope it works to me and you fixed all issues in your new up load.

Best regards
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ghayath ameer:
will test it and give u my feedback

btw that about baseband ? 72 ?

it's not stable enough even after factory resets ,,;)

It looks promising, but I'll wait..

Awesome! :D

Which kernel do you recommend?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mrmojoman:
looks very nice.

but no phonebook for me :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mr.alawi:
after many attempts of installing KA21 i finally got it work without any previous errors .. but now i'm having problem with google play and apks .. after 2 to 3 installation of apps or restoring apps from titanium backup suddnly it will tell me "application not installed" or when i download from google play it will tell me "package file is invalid" .. when i restart my phone i can install one app then when i want to install the next one it will give me the same error.. i reflashed it again but it gave me same problem ... thats the only error that i found after a clean flash aside from that the ROM is fast and really nice ! :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sevoir:
I have with this problem too :-(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DjayZiro:
apps not installing

Happening to me too... i've managed to actually install what i wanted... by clearing market data, the thing is, when i launch these "affected" apps, i get force close on them... and this is as far as i could think of....

How's the GPS? I saw it under future updates. Is GPS working in this rom? :rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jonxz:
Got package file is invalid errors, first flash Acrobat Reader cannot install, then I wipe the whole thing and flash again... Now I can install Acrobat Reader but cannot install Facebook for Android... got the same error :(

Update: If I move an app to SD, then I can be able to install an app from Play Store (My internal storage is 159MB used / 261MB free), then I get the package is invalid again!

Update 2: I think I found out... my free internal storage have to keep at about 270MB+ free to be able to install from Play store or restore from titanium backup... But that's a lot, I cannot even have Facebook installed with Google+

Update 3: Seems that Dalvik cache and cache is full when I install new app. (See screenshot) The "File is invalid" is due to no space to uncompress the file.

Update 4: My workaround for this is to delete /etc/init.d/02dalvik (make backup for safety reason, and have to restart after delete), which is the startup script to check if /cache/ is larger than 80000K, it will merge Dalvik cache to the same partition, deleting the 02dalvik script will keep Dalvik cache in /data, which will free up space to install apk from market. This should also fix some FC problem too.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sevoir:
Same problem was here....

Solving: You can delete /etc/init.d/02dalvik (make backup for safety reason, and have to restart after delete) as jonxz.

OR:

edit /etc/init.d/02dalvik file with root explorer in text editor mode and change 80000K to 180000K and save it. Restart your phone and working everything.

thx for tip jonxz.
