Amazing

Being using this rom for the last few hours and i can say im loving it.

Has great battery life made alot of phone calls and sending texts and mms Downloading Game And Checking And Sending Emails and its only drop by 10% in the lst 3hours and 36mins...gets a bit laggy when i use facebook but i think that the app as it happens on my stock rom...

Phones is loud enough for me dont listen to it for music but the ringer and alarm and other tones are louder enough to hear around my house.

Bluetooth,camera and wifi all working great for me

My games are working great as well for example Kinectimals (yes i know) which i couldnt get to work correctly on ICS is working fine with no lag

Got to say though and it probley i missed something is cant find the power save app that in the screenshots on page 1..can i install this myself as a app or does it need framework?

Got to say though i have found the rom for me, smooth and great battery life....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] w3nZ:
Nice, I´ll give it a try
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zohaib0001:
no beats not included yet within two days i will provide you beats audio pack also
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zohaib0001:
no its not depend on framwork-res

you can install it by copy its apk to system app
[Xperia Arc Android Development] LukynZ:
Hi zohaib, thanks for nice rom :) I've got one thing here:

Can you base it on some central europe rom? There is "cost saving" option under sms settings. I think this is very important for languages with special chars. For example your Xperia S ICS rom or Arconium 8.2 have it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zohaib0001:
Beats Audio Available for this Rom

As i promised, i am giving to you people Betas Audio pack that is suitable for my Rom

Available in Downloads post no 2

Please wipe cache and delvik cache after flash this beats audio zip file

Make a backup of your Rom before flash this so if you don't like this you can be restore back
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rsimas:
I can't install in cwm it says can't open zip. What I'm doing wrong?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chakaal:
Try to download it again. And you´ve to install the update BEFORE YOU wipe dalvik cache and cache partition. It worked for me :)

Greets
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lammy29:
is it possible to use the arc knight kernel with this rom?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kickerz14:
Nope. Because this rom is based on GB and not on ics.

AND just want to know guys, what overclock application are you using in this ROM and Kernel. :)

---------- Post added at 01:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 AM ----------

Zohaib, is it ok with you if you upload your used base ROM here next time you upload? Thanks! :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rsimas:
I download again and now it works but I don't see any difference in the audio.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] paulinodf:
Installing this one now... I hope audio quality is good as it is on Xperia S ICS rom :o:o
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zohaib0001:
No the kernel i describe is the best kernel for this ROm
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zohaib0001:
You can use any application for Over clock i am using Rom tool box Pro

Battery life is great , you can test it your self

Go into recovery and from there make a backup of complete ROM
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zohaib0001:
After install it wipe Cache partition and wipe delvik cache

and reboot

then it take effects

Update V9.1 Re-Build Coming soon .... 27-July

Update V9.1 Re-Build Coming soon .... 27-July

I found that In V9.0 Rebuild the speed of device is effected a little bit

so i am going to fixed it in V9.1 update soon

1) Over all device scrolling speed increases

2) SMS typing speed lag should be fixed

3) Remove the unused libs from System to make it lite and fast

4) Beats Audio Should be included in to Main Rom
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shahzaib.khan:
awesome
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vifer06:
Honestly, i dont know how to overclock. Someone just gave me his application (SetXperia) and i restore it using TB. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] paulinodf:
Is there any way to make this rom even faster?!

WTF...

The battery life is amazing. I miss some features from ICS, but all ICS roms until now are kinda laggy.

S U P E R B !!!

This is THE Gingerbread rom ! :D

If I wanted to find a defect, i would change SuperSU with Superuser.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hector2001:
Nice work

Hi there,

This is a very fast and very smooth ROM.

Thank you for your good work. I tested several ICS Roms (laggy in my opinion) and finally switched back to GB.

What about these suggestions ?

- add Modded Camera

- make the phone dialer displays the called number like ICS (0102030405 => 01 02 03 04 05)

- replace the too much basic calculator by another one
[Xperia Arc Android Development] paulinodf:
Hey there...

Nice ROM for sure...

Zohaib, why don't you make your ICS rom so smooth and fast like this one? =\

Another question, how can I enable flashlight on QuickPanel?

Thanks! :D:D:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vifer06:
SUPERB ROM and EXTREME BATTERY LIFE!! That's the reason why I stick to your ROM and never finds another one! ;)

Great Job!!! :)

Xperia Arc-S FTF pack

Xperia Arc-S FTF pack is available in downloads at post no 2
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zohaib0001:
Well ICS Rom is not developed completely yet it take time to make perfect wait from sony next update

in GB Rom it is not possible to get flash light in Quick panel setting
[Xperia Arc Android Development] soumya_digi:
Not possible!! :silly: ICS is resource hungy, whereas GB is matured and lite.. We will have to wait till things improve.. :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] longthanh:
Sorry but i do not understand what you (the bold text) mean, maybe because my bad English, i guess you mean start the ICS .431 completely for the first time, then turn off the phone, right?

I usually install your Rom with normal method, full wipe then install the zip file, not flash the ics .431, What will it effect to the os?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] easy_hk:
does this need nulcoked bootloader ?

thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chin096:
Good Rom.

But i why i have 2 icons of Clock and Alarm app. How to fix it ?

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SimonZ:
Do a full wipe before install the rom. Clean dalvilk cache too
[Xperia Arc Android Development] caqo71:
OK, The THING is simple. Sorry for write uppercaps while knowing that this means yells.

DEVELOPERS JUST MAKE A "MADE BY SONY ROM" MORE SMOOTH AND RESPONSIVE, WHILE THEY TAKE OUT THE BLOATWARE, AND APK'S THAT'S DON'T FEET IN THE ROOM.

IT'S NOT RESPOSIBILITY OF DE DEV THAT SOME ROM WORKS MORE SMOOTH OR NOT.

IF YOU WANT A SMOTH ROM LIKE THE iPHONE, JUST ASK OR BLAME TO SONY, OR APPLE DEPPENDING ON WHAT DO YOU WANT.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chin096:
I do fulll wipe everything and re-install, still got 2 clock and 2 alarms.

Please advise. Thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] birdcut:
This room is not perfect but I gave it 5 star anyway, cus what you have done is truly amazing.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NS_85:
After install your Xperia Arc-S FTF pack,

Can I install your rom to my Arc s? my bootloader is locked.

Is this rom work with stock ics kernels?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] soumya_digi:
This is a GB ROM, so it'll not work with any ICS kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NS_85:
But I readed this on first message
[Xperia Arc Android Development] w3nZ:
U should flash 431 for the baseband, then the kernel v22 which is a GB kernel and then the rom which is a GB rom, too.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sleepymonk:
I had this problem but what i did to fix was to follow the instruction from his other rom which are

) go into recovery and wipe these things

3.1- wipe factory date

3.2- wipe cache partition

3.3- wipe delvik cache

3.4- wipe system <<<<<<<<<<<<< (format)

that removed the 2nd clock and Alarm and left the with the xperia s ones. i dont know if i was ment to but i had no problems with the rom doing it
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vifer06:
I have the same problem. Anyway im just curious, whats the problem of having two clock and alarms? :D

Thanks for your testing and share your idea
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zohaib0001:
this rom is worked well with doom load kernel v22
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vifer06:
Do i need to download your Kernel or is it the same kernel with 9.1??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] soumya_digi:
It's the same kernel, and kernel will never be updated since Doomkernel is not updated anymore.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zohaib0001:
Yes its true
[Xperia Arc Android Development] longthanh:
Doomkernel v21 is smoother than v22, you'll see the difference when running heavy graphics live wallpaper (ex: cosmic flow...), that's my own perspective:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zohaib0001:
if you feel good with V21 then you can use that kernel

have fun
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shahzaib.khan:
i followed all your instruction for installation but still the stock rom with flemo first part 3 theme packs and with v22 kernel is faster then ypurs zohaib.....and it doesnt need to sipercharge or any thing jus working smoothly and the dailer is also so quick then yours new dailer so i am just giving u a suggession to try my method i mentioned above so u can see the clear difference
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Rohil.khadgee:
Zohaib sir .....what about beats audio drie in 90.2 and please do something about 2 cloxk and alaram icon .........else is perfect .......................

GOODWILL
[Xperia Arc Android Development] w3nZ:
Small question...

Arconium + Supercharger + my Apps = 150 MB Ram free

Xperia S Rom + Supercharger + my Apps = 80 MB Ram free

wtf?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kickerz14:
Are you sure? 'cause im using this rom right now and my free ram is playing around 150-180. And this rom is so smooth.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] longthanh:
This rom is almost perfect, only small bug that is very long delay when you access to SETTING:(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kickerz14:
At first but when press it again it will be smooth and no more delay and that kind of problem is bearable so im fine with that.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] longthanh:
But it does not running in background for long, it will be kill soon by system and you will get delay problem again very soon:(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kickerz14:
So long? No i didnt encounter that kind of problem. Try to full wipe first.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ghost_boy1412:
Could i delete MtpappGB.apk and SecureClockJava.apk ?? what are their function??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zohaib0001:
if you can use titanium backup app, then you can freeze those apps which you want

what i freeze after install

1) Setup guide

2) MTP app

3) Play on device

4) com.sonyericsson.simcontacts

after freeze play on device app may be your DLNA services did not work

also you can un-freeze any app at any time
[Xperia Arc Android Development] longthanh:
At the first time of installing your rom, i have flashed the ics .431, so at the second time of installing your new version, do i have to reflash the ics .431??:cowboy:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kickerz14:
I can't get my mw600(bluetooth headset) working with this rom, why? Even though it is already connected to the music player, it still plays on speaker mode.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zezoassiri:
There is a bug in the rom

Xperia home setting when you change anything it doesn't change until reboot the device..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vifer06:
no need to reboot device to see preference effect,

Just go to => Xperia Home preference => manage application => Xperia Home and then click "Forced Stop" and see preference effect without reboot.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Gnavarroc:
iam kinda confused want to give this room a try but i dont know if this (v9.2 rebuild) or v2.5 xperia s ics rom

jaja can somebody give me a hint?

ty :)

and about kernel, iam currently using stock 431 with cwm , will it be smoother and battery friendly if i use doomkernel v22 ? cause i readed on other roms discusions that v21 is smoother , just asking :)!

thanks =D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Gnavarroc:
omg just did all the procedure with doomkernel v22 and realized that it is a gb room but with ics look

i love your rom ajajaj

finnaly found what i was looking for!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] andrrei22ro:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Gnavarroc:

just 3 things

1) is there a way to get Ics calendar widget?

BUG - Landscape mode

Hello,

i found a bug in landscape mode. When you turn your phone, this happens:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Pahoehoe:
Problem solved

New Flash solved my problem ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Gnavarroc:
after one day of use i noticed some excesive battery drain

1) On ics (arconium 4 stock kernel) listening to music 3g on 40% brightness, and using whatsapp through the day = at least 50% at the end of my day

2) on xperia s rom , listening to music 3g on 40% brightness and using whatsapp through the day = 23% at the end of my day

is this caused by doomkernel v22? should i just reflash ? or install other?

sugestions please! :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zohaib0001:
Are you compare ICS Rom with this one

this Rom is based on GB onot on iCS ????

please Clear your point
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zohaib0001:
In framwork-res.apk open it through WINRAR or 7Zip go into res/drawable-hdpi here you find 204 images of battery replace them with your ones, if you want stock then delete all and copy the orignal one in it

it is not posible to use stock ICS apps in GB Rom yet
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Gnavarroc:
only experiencing some battery drain issues :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spromper:
I also experience battery drains the first two days of use but after that the battery became great, best gb battery i've had. But ofcourse still not as good as ics battery
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bpear96:
Installed this rom on my moms Arc s, working great, GB is just so smooth on this phone. had her on Sony ICS roms, CM9, CM10 for a bit but had a couple bugs. And this rom is definitely the smoothest. She told me to stop messing with her phone and leave it on this :D. Thanks for the awesome rom!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Halim2k:
Nice ROM indeed, it has the perfect combination, GB base and XS Theme.

Testing right now, with doom kernel v22 @1600 MHz.

Is there any solution for the the ring tone being played just once?

I found that when I use .ogg file it's ok, but with .mp3 it rings only once.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] n3n00:
I want this on locked bootloader/stock kernel :crying: :crying: ...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] soumya_digi:
It should run on stock kernel+ locked bootloader as it is based on stock 2.3.4! But the init.d scripts will not run automatically. Give it a try. ;)
