[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
I don't know if i got lucky or anything, but my Atrix have only had one random reset, one time, and i was doing some pretty intensive tasks on it at that time, and never again. I have read lots of people complaining about it, but thats not an issue with me, and im a flash addict, i flash lots of customs roms, and i like to try every rom that pops up on the development section.

About your desicion, i would probably go for the S2, even though the screen have a smaller resolution, but the AMOLED looks pretty dam nice. I had a SGS, and thats the only thing i miss from my phone. Also, the S2 have already leaked official ICS leaked roms, which is a sign that its getting the update to 4.0 soon. :)

$20 for a refurbished Skyrocket on AT&T right now. Was thinking of using my sons upgrade to get one myself until the SGS III or Sony Ion release. (Yes, I know, refurbished, but hey for $20! This also seems like they are clearing out ready for the SGS III release).

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpolansky:
I am using them both right now. The Atrix to type this on the lapdock. The Sky as my phone. I bought the Sky last week because I finally had it with Motoblur. Loading the noattach rom screwed up my phone (caused something to go wrong where I couldn't use CWM to restore) and I couldn't get the email to work properly even after reflashing the 2.3.6 sbf. Finally got it to work after I setup a new Motoblur account (new email address) after I had previously tried a number of resets (and after trying to get Motoblur to clear the data on the old email address was futile). Enough whining :)

Sky screen is gorgeous and it is very fast (both as to response and data down) even in non LTE areas. (you have to use a special sim, don't know why) It seems lighter even though it is bigger. I like the phone much better (the screen is huge and much more responsive). The only downsides are (in descending order) battery life sucks when the screen is on, some bloat cannot be removed (not rooted yet) and there is no notification led (there is an app that works to replace this, though called noled)

After I wrote this I worked out and used the Atrix to stream Slacker (since I had been using it in the lapdock) Btooth in the house. It also made me realize how much better the Sky plays with Btooth devices (especially my F150 with Sync), there is no need for the 30 step volume mod and the music just seems to be higher quality (wider dynamic range).

imho
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cusa:
It's out of stock. :(

So my current SIM won't work with the skyrocket? I don't understand, why would it need a different type of SIM? Also, I'm hearing a lot of people complain about the battery life for skyrocket and it's understandably since it has a 1.5ghz dual core cpu. But I'd rather have a great battery life than a have a fast cpu which makes me think of getting the regular SGS2 instead of the skyrocket.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueln:
Hi. Had an HTC Tattoo untill a month ago, when I decided it was time to upgrade my hardware, especially considering ICS was on its way and I had had enough with my pre-historic, resistive 2.8 inch screen, 256MB 528MHz freak android phone.

So I decided to buy an ARC S (LT18i), only to later find out the latest oficial firmware was still 2.3.4 (if I'm not mistaken) when I was already on 2.3.7 CM on the tattoo.

So I decided to ditch the official firmware and seek a custom ROM more up to date. That's when the nightmare begun. On the tattoo I only had to flash the latest CM release. On the ARC S there are several different BB, Kernels and ROMs. From what I've read (and I've read a lot!) some are better on LT15i, others are better on LT15a, others on LT18i and some on LT18a. Talk about android fragmentation. On this device there's fragmentation of the hardware itself.

So my question is: Which BB, Kernel and ROM combination is best for my LT18i, with the best stability, the latest 2.3 available, no battery drain issues and everything working (wifi, GPS, 3G, etc.)? The bootloader is unlocked and I have root.

Thanks in advance.

P.S.: Wouldn't it be easier for everyone if there was a sticky with a poll regarding this question for every ARC/ARC S model?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DemonicHawk:
It is a little messy in the development section, and it doesn't help that there's no section for the other Sony Ericsson phones (so they all got thrown into here), but there's really not that many choices once you get familiar with everything.

For ICS:

CM9 - Use CM9 Kernel

MIUI - Use Included Kernel

SE Official Beta - Use Stock ICS Kernel

Customized/Modded SE Official Beta - Use DoomKernel ICS or Stock ICS w/ CWM

For Gingerbread:

Stock ROM - Use Stock Kernel

MIUI - Use Included Kernel

CM7 - Use CM7 Kernel

Customized/Modded Stock ROM - Use DoomKernel or Stock Kernel or anything else

Also, with respect to ROMs and kernels on here, there is no difference between the arc and arc S.

To answer your question though, I would recommend Arconium (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1325640), which is a minimally modded stock rom.

Latest baseband is recommended and stock kernel currently has the best battery life.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueln:
Hi DemonicHawk and thanks for your prompt answer.

Yes, the development section for the Arc is quite confusing, especialy when compared to the one I was used to for over 2 years. I really appreciate your help, but from what I've read so far, if I'm not mistaken, every option you've mentioned has it's drawbacks. The following comments I've made to the options you've mentioned are based on everything I've read so far. It's possible they're wrong (at least I hope so...)

For ICS:

CM9 - Use CM9 Kernel --- Based on SE ICS Beta, which is buggy (GSM DATA - buggy - for some networks works for some does not work), has worse performance in games and video playback and has battery drain issue.

MIUI - Use Included Kernel --- Miui is intended to be an IOS look a like, which I refuse to have on my phone.

SE Official Beta - Use Stock ICS Kernel --- same problems refered in CM9 comments

Customized/Modded SE Official Beta - Use DoomKernel ICS or Stock ICS w/ CWM --- DoomKernel is also mentioned by several people as being buggy and having a battery drain problem (despite its many great features). Stock ICS has the problems mentioned earlier

For Gingerbread:

Stock ROM - Use Stock Kernel --- That's what I'm using but I'm getting frustrated with the lack of certain features I had on the Tattoo with CM 2.3.7

MIUI - Use Included Kernel --- Same comments as Miui ICS

CM7 - Use CM7 Kernel --- CM7 is far from fully working and full hardware support, although this would definetly be the one I'd chose if it was 100% working

Customized/Modded Stock ROM - Use DoomKernel or Stock Kernel or anything else --- same comments as the ones regarding ICS

Also, with respect to ROMs and kernels on here, there is no difference between the arc and arc S. --- Not entirely true. For instance, regarding StockPlus Kernel, it is more or less established that the kernel works great on LT15, but causes battery drain on LT18.

Am I wrong?:confused:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DemonicHawk:
Yes, the kernels do seem to be a hit/miss in terms of battery life, hence my suggestion of just sticking with the stock kernel if you want the best battery life. Is there a specific feature you're looking for that isn't present in the stock rom?

Unfortunately, this is the current state of custom ROMs for SE phones, in that many are lacking in comparison to the stock ROM in terms of stability/performance/battery life and sometimes even core features/functions.

Personally, I'm using the latest CM9 (which is not 100% based on the official beta), and performance/stability is quite good, though it still needs some work in some core areas (video playback and video recorder I believe) though I don't use those much to be affected.

So if you have the patience, load up Arconium with the stock rom and wait for the official ICS update, or start weighing your priorities in terms of features/function. :p
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueln:
The 2.3.7 features I miss the most are selecting text automaticaly copies it to clipboard and swipe to clear notifications. Though the first one isn't a must have it is usefull and time saving. But the lack of the second is realy annoing to me. For instance, if I install three or four apps from the market and I had calender notifications already, I can't just dismiss the ones I don't care about and keep the important ones. I either have to keep them all or desmiss them all and go back to the calender, find the appointments and reschedule them. :mad:

I also miss CM specific features, such as volume rocker changes music track / radio station when screen off, control screen brightness by sliding on status bar and profiles.

So I was really looking forward to having CM on the Arc, but it seems it's not going to happen soon, because of the video issues you've mentioned. Video recording and playback are paramount features for me since I also bought the phone to be able to record videos of my daughters, especially my now 3 months old.

All things considered, I'll keep Stock and wait for final ICS, hopefully with root and hope CM support for the ARC overcomes current issues.

Thanks a lot for your help! ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sqs1shu:
I can sympathize with this feeling.

After I experienced a few of FC of Arc Gingerbread stock ROM phone app and nagging 'data traffic is disable' notifications, I decided to unlock bootloader of my wife's ARC.

Different custom's ROM has its own kernel and they are not compatible to each other. I had a few blank screens or boot loops because of that. FXP ROM was not helpful in hiding boot.img in zip file, and it has different kernels from FXP 113 to 115.

After used a few of ICS ROMs, We now reluctantly use FXP 115 ICS in Arc. Both of us like CM notification dropdown widget buttons (sleep button is a must) and % battery in notification bar. We also like CM/google phone and people apps, it returns to last state to easily to get to favorite contacts so they can be easily dialed.

One minor thing about ICS FXP 115 is that battery drain is a tad worse than the custom ROM based on stock (ARC S beta ICS), and Sony stock ROM's camera interface is prettier and FM radio app is working while FXP 115 does not have FM radio yet. Both ROM's flash player in web page does not work very well. It plays video for about 10 minutes then whole browser frozen up, It has to be killed to function again.

All my devices are Android based, but for my wife next phone, it is probably something else like her tablet.

The only way to be sure on this, i think, is to test yourself because everybody uses the phone differently, but personally i like jjdoctor's hybrid cocktail with doomkernel ics v4:) I have had no fc and its good on the battery.

I just bought the ARC S and it's still on stock..can u guide me how to unlock bootloader and root and how to install CWM??I am very thankful for u..PEACE
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wallimo:
I suggest like others that the best way to find the best ROM for you,is to actually try out the different roms before you pass judgment based on others comments. I came from the HTC hero and like anything I found there was a learning curve， but once you'd got it down pat that it was easy. I have lt15i I really love it., I've used many roms, the ics beta roms miui stock roms cm 7 and 9 ics lite all are great for there own reasons.

Remember when you use custom roms that the people who crated them do it boot for the money but because they want a better phone so be fearful give them a go before you complain about the roms

Isn't Cm7 for arc gb 2.3.7? Also I'm pretty sure the issues with video aren't a problem with cm7 most of the issues you spoke of in Cm 9

Also just to put things into perspective for you, the HTC hero has very few roms and even less open source no camera support for example

I've dusted off my NC after a few months packed away. I'm pondering loaded a new rom/kernel/whatever. Unfortunately, I haven't kept up with what's available and cool development advancements, etc. I'd appreciate some recommendations on the latest and greatest stuff. I'm currently running CM7 with Dalingrin's OC kernel that I got last June. I'd like to get something with bluetooth support (heck, for all I can remember, what I currently have supports bluetooth).

Anyway, thanks in advance for any recommendations.

I am dualbooting from EMMC. CM7 Mirage Kang and CM9 with Open GL. I do not update CM9 that often because it is in alternate and takes about an hour to update total. I do update when a new CM7 Mirage Kang comes out though.

Installing the dualboot setup is a breeze updating primary is a breeze too. It is just a pain for me to update alternate.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flu13:
Thanks. I'm curious, can you tell me what Mirage Kang is? And what does Open GL buy me? If I wasn't going to dual boot, would you recommend CM7 or CM9?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MISRy:
Definitely Kang, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1344873

CM9 isn't even officially in Beta testing yet.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zires:
Mirage Kang http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1344873 is just a modified build of CM7 that is updated when any useful release is released. So it's not a nightly thing. I love it!

As far as CM9 open gl, I think it has something to do with movies and such. It is not enabled by default on the CM9 nightly so I don't think it would hurt.

I would recommend CM7 Mirage Kang if you are not going to dualboot as CM9 is not really ready for prime time. I have it on mine because it is not hurting my current set up. I actually have alot more space on CM7 than I did when I wasn't dualbooting. I would recommend repartitioning so you have more space for apps and games on EMMC. I would use the 1.96gb scheme as found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1094371 .

Please also note that dual booting is not limited to CM7 and CM9 but it works for almost any combination. Stock, CM7, CM9, MIUI (did I spell that right) etc. So maybe run a rooted stock and CM7 on the same machine.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghetto-:
Hello everyone!

I restored a backup of my 2.3.6 rom, unrooted, locked the bootloader and got the ota sent to phone. I have warranty work coming up and I wanted to be 100% stock. When I power on phone with vol up / power and select recovery I am taken to droid on his back with a red exclamation mark in his chest.

Im guessing this happened when i did the update and noticed superuser was still there and it was a sys apk. So i rooted and used a root explorer to remove the apk and then unrooted. So my rom backup of 2.3.6 will always bring back the superuser. I looked around and have not seen much on this.

Any ideas or steps to take to fix and get 100% back to stock? I have a few ideas but i thought i would ask around first.

Thanks!

Yes when I use volume up and power it then brings me to the stock recovery. I wonder if I root and restore my 2.3.6 would rid the recovery error. But then I need to unroot and when I do the superuser app remains. I just need a 100% stock. PS. I root / unroot using fast boot.

Hi,

I recently acquire a T989D from Telus and I am really happy with it. My first root experience was with it and the -Mr. X- Rom and kernel was installed.

[KERNEL] Synergy v0.10 [CK3+, Autogrouping, OC, UV, BFQ, BLN, OTG]

[ROM] Telus SGH-T989D Stock, Rooted, Lightly Tweaked, 100% [CIQ Free]

I began experiencing echo in call. So I tried

[ROM] Juggernaut v5.0 [New Samsung ICS Style Lockscreen!][Team Kang][2.18.2012]

Same trouble. So back to stock everything is sounding right. Wanted root so tried SuperOneClickv2.3.3 from ShortFuse work perfecly son im root without echo but on stock.

Debloated a little but still sinking my battery level alot.

So, as for the question.

Is there a ROM that will not echo in call and not drink all the juice in the bat?

Read in a post a thing about RIL something to do with it?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anomy13:
I have the same phone from Telus. I've tried both of the roms you've mentioned and I never experienced any kind of echoing problem. However, I did experience echoing problem when I had certain phone case on where the phone mic was covered as well which made it echo on the other end. I cut the mic part off of the rubber case and echoing problem was resolved.

I honestly, do not think its the roms you've installed. It could just be mere coincidence.

As far as the batteries go, try both roms should be decent for batteries as they are both relatively very clean and debloated roms. Kernels play a big part and I suggest either Mr. X's synergy or streamline by Eugene. Also, the juicedfender app can help you save batteries.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kilcrop:
Thanks for your reply. Im back with Jugg with synergy kernel. Just to give it another try.

I don't use a sleeve or a case. Only a screen protector :) But i recon that it could affect mic captation.

And just to know , does anyone know something about RIL ?

Is this someting that can be replace or modified?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bryantcraig:
I have been using juggernaut 5 on my Telus SGH-T989 for about 2 months. It it flawless. Make sure you preform a full wipe and format at least three times before you install any new rom of course. Also try fixing permissions it may help.if not try a call without a case. If you are getting calling issues it is not the ROM. Also you could try flashing a different radio.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kilcrop:
6 Day on Jugg and still no echo. I dont have a case so it was not in fault.

So it was a plain coincidence if i was getting echo on both non stock rom.

So yeah it may be just the wiping that was only done once. Thanks for the advice.
