Weird, but did you connect your phone to pc? It appears that by connecting the phone to pc a background process is started or something goes wrong and battery drains.. Just reboot it after you connected to pc. Charging via the wall charger doesn't cause problems :)

I found a possible solution, but I still need to test this.

Flashing any new rom will delete the apps in system folder. I don't know if you can flash it over, backup the apps you moved to system, make a nandroid backup in recovery and give it a try ;) You can always restore your backup if it doesn't work correctly :D

BUG: I change wallpaper from the gallery. I selected the picture then I would click the Settings button -> Gallery make the Force Close. Picture can't changed the wallpaper! Guys, on your phone too??

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

Battery drain my solution (but i don't now this solution is working or not?)

I changed your build.prop file:

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0 -> ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1

Restarted the phone and now testing!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mandarjoshiin:
I dont have any such problem.. May I guess problem is with the default Gallery app. Try QuickPic app.. its far better...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
No, I charged it with wall charger, unplugged it, and in the morning my phone was down to 36%... didn't go in deep sleep. And I didn't connect it to the PC. I rebooted it now... I'll see if it'll go in deep sleep, but my phone is already down to 17%...

EDIT: after a reboot the phone goes to deep sleep. Seems like the wall charger causes the the same problem.

Hi

I read the comments I think it's good rom thanks a lot guys

but the battery problem is the biggest one

I just wanna ask before I flash this room, is this problem too noisy?

And is it fixable?

thanks again :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
I think the battery drain is ok. the rom is based on a beta release from sony... its not perfect but everything works fine and the rom is fast enough...

The attached pics shows my battary life and a pic from spy cpu.

I just want to know whats the "mediaserver" process is for and how to disable it...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
I just unlocked my bootloader and this is the first ROM I installed and I really really like it so much thank you for this ROM :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] metaljoker:
-[Arc S] extract build.prop and replace the one in /system folder with right permissions

(I tried to move it by Root explorer but it says that I don't have root access or something of this kind!! Why?!?!?!)

-[recommended] Open up Ram Manager Free and choose "Balanced Multitasking Setting" for better performance and smoothness

(It won't let me use this RAM Manager because it closes by itself or it won't work!! WHY?!)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tommy paradise:
the first day the rom had a very long battery life.

tonight, i put the phone in flight mode (charged via wall), and after that, the rom has got a big battery drain during the day.

i closed all the programs (like always) but the battery was 50% with small usage @ 13:00 pm.

why?

i didnt supercharged it..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
i successfully installed the ROM,

but i dunno..

feels lil laggy..

but im soooooo interested in the framework and systemUI xD

someone if can make it work for me,

i'll be verryyyy thankful..

i'll wait :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tommy paradise:
u can install v6 supercharger or u can change launcher (nova launcher in market->its free) and the system is a little bit faster ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
How the hell did you get 21 hours out of it? Was the phone mostly in deep sleep?

Happened to me as well. Charged my phone, unplugged it before I went to sleep, put it in Airplane mode and used it a bit. Before I went to sleep, it was on around 86%. When I woke up (after 8 hours), the battery dropped to 36% and "Android OS" was shown as the main culprit. I then rebooted my phone and it stopped draining and it normally went to deep sleep. I'm not sure if the problem is in Airplane mode or in charging or both.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
hmmm..

okay i will try it.. ill install the supercharger

i hope it wont be laggy when i change the launcher and the supercharger :p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Weird, it means that you're phone isn't rooted correctly I guess..

I'm going to update my rom on Thursday :) I just edited the changelog :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tommy paradise:
@krabbapel

How can i change the keyboard theme? :D and..the ka08 is going to be supercharged?

Tnk U mate.. Awesome rom.. The best ive ever used
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Thanks :) Nice to hear you like my rom :D

Maybe supercharged, depends on the time I have tomorrow ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mandarjoshiin:
Hey Bro,

Thanks alot for such a wonderful rom.. It is the best among all other ICS roms...

Can you please release a update which will contain the Xperia S Call UI.. That Call UI is quite awesome. If u check, the FrankSteinMod rom has provided that.. Can u please release the same for KA07? I dont wanna flash whole rom again.. :) Thanks...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ChaosFirZen:
U LoL... Just Use My ROM...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mandarjoshiin:
Hehe.. bro.. ur rom is also quite good.. no issues.. but this one I found a bit more stable.. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
oh thank you thank you xD

btw, somethings wrong with the link2sd

somehow i cant create the mount script..

i tried to rebackup the init.d file (11lin2sd)

but it still doesnt work..

anyone can help??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mandarjoshiin:
Big Defect!!

Hey Bro,

I love ur rom but... there is a huge bug in it..

Bug :

Even if the screen is locked, I can drag down the toggle menu and check it. I can even go to settings, from there.. And when I come back from the Settings, I see that the lock has been already opened.. :eek: Isnt it weird.?? Guys.. I need feedback on this one..

Please all check and get back... thanks..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I shall check it ;) Can you maybe give a screenshot of the call UI? ;)

It isn't a bug ;) It's a default ICS/Android 4.0 feature :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mandarjoshiin:
Oh!!! :D My Bad.. Sorry bout that.. :P Keep rocking!! :)

is it possible to get the AOSP lockscreen like in icelite rom?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
ICS lockscreen and more in KA08 :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
If you say "21/03: KA08 uploading soon" what does soon meens?? I'm very exited for the new release:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
Hope the framework and systemUI will work on stock ROM and doomlord kernel ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
It is uploading now :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hootnath:
smooth, yes

fast enough - no. my stock gb was 5 times faster and ran without lags.

i tried supercharger as well but supercharger slows down the rom, so i unsupercharged it

battery? no. it went from 72% to 1% in 2.5 hours.

browser is constantly crashing

music app can't see all my music (sees only some folders) and gallery can't see all folders either. so i am forced to use a live-wallpaper.

^ could be because of android system android os and mediaserver are together taking 39% battery and the screen 43% (its been constantly on for the last 2.5 hours - barely any standby)

so? whats the solution?

should i change the kernel? why canit it see my audio and wallpaper files?

why is mediaserver taking 9% battery and why are android system and android os taking so much?

why does my browser keep on crashing ... all other apps also start having memory-allocation related temporary lags even now and then --- if you try touching the screen while the app is lagging, it crashes.

sometimes the entire o.s. reboots on its own.

BTW, is there a launcher better than the Nova Launcher? (i have 4 screens and its taking over 40megs of ram). How is Apex or any other one? I need it to support scrolling, have quick swiping between screens etc ... my ADW looks strange on this so i cant use that one.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
for me it is very fast. and with supercharger the rom is even faster...

which kernel do you use? the original one ore doomkerel?

my battary lives for 34h without any problem...

Hopefully the next release runs better for you;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Normally it should be fast and good battery life like jonster111 has :)

KA08 uploaded :D links in first post :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hootnath:
was using the standard stock ICS with cwm 5.5 kernel. am downloading the advanced ICS kernel right now to see what that does.

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

no onscreen buttons for ka08? that'd be a deal breaker.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I will add them later today ;)

You can use the one from KA07 but then ICS lockscreen will dissapear..

I'm flashed, but not working!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nasos95:
When you say in future updates: "Hopefully gps fix", this means that GPS apps like Google Maps(directions) or Google Navigation etc., do NOT work? :/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
I found a little bug:

everytime you use the "options button" (right one) the little led's go on and dont get out... just if you lock the screen again. Maybe you can fix that.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
I don't know if it's only me, but the two hardware button leds are extremely bright, and +1 on the previous post.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] lofty5:
Thanks for such a great rom. Your updates are also consistent and plentiful. Only bug i have noticed is with the default launcher, icons don't seem to line up with each other properly. Some are to high or to low.

Led buttons are also to bright and am not a fan of the aosp lockscreen. However i like there dialer the best imo. The dialer out of icelite.

Gonna be staying on k07 atm the bright led buttons are just to annoying for me and k07 works great for me fully supercharged.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
that happend to me aswell for a day then it suddenly turned dim
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lofty5:
it seems to do it always when the phone is first tuned on but they then eventually dim. This rom though quite simply is awesome.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Google's weather and news app & widget ;)

I just updated it ;) Hope this one works :p

No, GPS does work, I forgot to remove it..

What do you mean by "options button" (right one)?

I can give you flashable update without AOSP lockscreen for KA08 if you want? ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lofty5:
thatd be great is there anyway to sort the bright led buttons. Also can we get the neon blue aosp dialer like in icelite. Good work man cant say enough good things about this rom. I love it.

k08's initial launch of applications such as contacts and dialer are much faster than in k07 very noticable as well.

Screenshots attached are what i mean by certain things not lining up. Not particularly bothered though. This IS the best ics rom.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] meidan95:
data is not working for me \=

I tried to put the apn's bug it didn't help...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] darth5zaft:
try a lot of other ics rom but like yours the best..

the rom is quite good,snappy.mobile data and wifi works effectively, use less ram. battery drain could be improve a bit.

anyway, can u put clearbase or megabass in your ROM
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lofty5:
Go into the quickpanel settings and remove the torch and brightness control to fix the battery drain.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Hi

I've just installed KA08 Ice Cream Sony (right after buying the phone unlocking bootloader).

Only problem so far is that I can't connect to 3g/edge: 3g icon is visible (and it's blue so connection should be working), APN settings double checked.

My n00bish question is- which radio/baseband works best for this rom (or just patches will do)? I belive I have 56 now installed
[Xperia Arc Android Development] navidmustafa:
Just installed this rom, looking pretty awsome.

The only thing is bright LED light which is really irritating, should be fix ASAP.

Nice job, keep it up!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
My phone is super slow and practically unusable now :( It rebooted 6 times, plus 2 times I had to pull out the battery. Ironically, it rebooted 7th time while I was writing this post, and after that it rebooted again. :( I don't know what's happening, but it's certainly not good... Have you maybe undervolted or something?

Im going to test DoomLord Kernel V4 with KA08 and will tell you if it`s stable. ;)

Testing results with DommLordKernel V4:

+

1) It is smooth and fast.

2) No redraws or heavy graphics glitches (like in v2 and v3 thx to DoomLord).

3) Battery is very

FRIENDLY

!

-

1)Root is messed up. Probably it`s not the Kernels Fault ;)

2) 3g not working D: (Not sure if it is ur bug or kernels..)

Update: Tested with stock kernel:

1)Root is messed up. ;)

2) 3g not working D:

Been using it for a couple of hours now...

Tested on my Arc (LT15i). Not Supercharged.

Conclusion: You need to fix root and 3g. :P

Thanks apreciated ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Phrenks:
I'm using 56 too, because I think it's the one that's recommended for the ICS Beta kernel. Right now I'm having pretty good battery life.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
This one :-)

But the thing i want to say is that the leds are to bright... is there any way to disable them?

In your next release can you rename the Quick Pic app to Gallery?

BTW Shrek Cart HD works great.

It is very smooth and stable and after im down by 1% Battery Ill post my stats...

:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mandarjoshiin:
Hey,

Last nite my battery was 28% and when I got up in d morning, I saw my cell was switched off!! :eek:

Also, one more thing. I cant play Stick Cricket on it.. :( The graphics goes weird very badly.. :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Anyone else having problems with root?

Ok, I will rename Quickpic to Gallery :)

For battery drain, Supercharge your phone, and try to reinstall kernel and rom ;)

You can't play all games with new Graphics driver, but more then before :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mandarjoshiin:
Ok... But the thing is that I could play the Stick Cricket game on GB very well.. It seems the prob is with the stock kernel.. Because same issue I had faced with XperiaMod ICS as well.. Should I try DooMKernel v4?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
You can try DooMKernel, but I can't guarantee it will work.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
How i can install your attached supercharger file?

and is it possible to disable the led lights?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
With download links there is a link for how to install supercharger ;) But you can wait until new KA08 is uploaded ;)

I'm reuploading KA08 now, S-since there were problems with build.prop, hw_config and root issues :s

Maybe the LED will be fixed too :)

EDIT: uploaded to hotfile :) Mediafire uploading when I get home, can't upload to mediafire at school..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:

The LED Problem is solved. But I'm not shure if my phone is really supercharged... Because if i install the script it dont tell me if i want to integrate it to the system how you tell us in the instructions.

I hope you understang what i mean:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Deodex is added in first post under add-ons ;)

No, I didn't manage to include Supercharger... You could see it in the changelog, because I removed it.

They work on my phone, so I don't know what's the problem..

This is because you already supercharged your previous KA version ;)

Do this:

- choose option 26 to go to driver options

- then you can choose to integrate into system ;) choose "y"

- then you can choose disable animation, choose what you want

- then you will ge back to "main menu" choose option 6 to supercharge ;)

EDIT: I updated my github wiki page about supercharger you can also look there ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
Sorry again for the nooby question but what does the deodexed patch exactly do?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
For a normal user it doesn't do useful things actually :p

It's only useful for devs that want to mod things, because it's easier then with odexed roms ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
Ok, sorry, I thought you did. But the newest version still made my phone reboot 10 times (out of that 3 times with screen fading out). Anyway, after I supercharged it, everything's been working more or less okay. Thanks again for making this ROM for arc.

By the way! Im just curious, can u add lockscreen scroll like on xperia S ;) thx.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Ok, I hate these battery drain problems.. I don't think it's rom related anymore, because on Neo we have new OC kernel from Sony resources and no one with the new OC kernel reported battery drain so far :)

I don't know ;) first I'll have to see what this feature is, because I don't know it actually :D

EDIT: Could you link me to some more info about this feature? ;)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] tomatos:
Yesterday night phone restarted and I was angry and wiped your ROM, then i flashed the arconium ICS Beta, no battery drain, no redraw, no laggs. Look the Arconium ROM tweak scripts. I use stock ICS kernel with CWM (5.5.x.x).

Interest on your ROM:

- when comes battery drain (every 2-3 hours), i restarted the phone and battery drain go to hell (i tested data off/on, comes battery drain)

- Since a couple of days: Home launcher lagging, all of apps lagging

- Angry Birds Space lagging other games too

- since a couple of days: working Link2SD but I restarted the phone and Link2SD sad: su error cant run the script, why (just restart)?

I used 60 apps, like: facebook, foursquare, gmail, opera, IGO, Viber etc. I tested Nova launcher but lagging.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I don't know how to include it yet.. But I'll search some info :D

Ok, KA09 update coming soon ;)

Let me know if it's better :)

btw: did you supercharge?

No, I don't use supercharger, just the rom and the stock ics beta kernel
