is there a file called uxpnxtlockscreen.apk in this ROM?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kes4817:
no..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] championswimmer:
oh...ok thanks...and does the arc official ics have lockscreen music and gallery controls like xperia s?

(I'm sorry about these stupid questions here...but i'm a x10 user and i work on porting xperia s and arc roms onto x10,.so i was curious to know)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mety333:
Can i install it on an unlocked unbranded lt18a with a locked bootloader??

Thanks ss
[Xperia Arc Android Development] deepthroat:
how long does it take to boot? mine took forever, 10 minutes already (LT15i, unlocked bootloader).

Thanks for your great job, your install work fine on Xperia Arc S

I noticed that you deleted Google Music Play from your ROM...

I found it here

Maybe it will be helpfull for someone who is using it like me.

btw. start/pause/forward buttons are working ok under screenlock
[Xperia Arc Android Development] simz1987:
So does this work on the LT18i also do u have the bad process for installing through flashtools like the original
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chripal:
It works fine with DooMKernel #4 on Xperia Arc S (1.4GHz)

Now, I can see that it is LT15i in phone info - I'm not shure what was before.

No errors during flashing, clear install.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Azev:
I just flash the zip file with DoomKerneL recovery and my LT15i boots on ICS. Thank you for the archive.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bbogdann:
It runs very good. I don't like that it has a lot of sony appl that I don't need. So, I had to uninstall them :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] deepthroat:
I think what the OP tried to do is to flash /system and /data via CWM (this step is suspectedly failed via flashtool). 2nd, step is flashing the rest of kernel.sin, baseband etc via flashtool. In my case, it will stuck at Sony logo.

Then I flashtool the full official ftf, and excluded flashing system.sin - and it works that way.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chripal:
I flashed ftf from this thread with option kernel excluded only, no any errors during flashing...

I can confirm that phone info changed from LT18i to LT15i after flashing it on Xperia Arc S. Anyway this ROM is working very smooth and stable with overclocking enabled... I use No-frills CPU control at 1,709 GHz (smartassV2).

[Xperia Arc General] CrazyPeter:
Is there an easy way to get something VERY close to stock final ICS but with root and cwm?

I'm not a fan of custom kernels and custom roms.
[Xperia Arc General] chiefy009:
Flash official ICS, flash custom kernel , the modded stock one, flash the superuser fix , download busybox

Stock ICS with route and cwm

No other way
[Xperia Arc General] pvyParts:
if you are unlocked to don't have to keep the custom kernel. you can just hotboot the kernel, flash the zip and then reboot and it will be like you never flashed the kernel but you will be rooted.

Pvy.
[Xperia Arc General] CrazyPeter:
Huh?

Yes, I have a unlocked bootloader, but can you flesh out the above details a little bit, as it makes no sense to me :-)
[Xperia Arc General] chiefy009:
Simple

Flash.custom kernel.with flashtoll

Download superuser.zip from doomed151 in original thread

Flash the superuser.zip through cwm

Download busybox from market

There you have root
[Xperia Arc General] CrazyPeter:
Where does ICS fit into that? It's not even mentioned? What's flashtoll?
[Xperia Arc General] pvyParts:
or

boot into fastboot mode

get kernel boot.img with CWM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1591279

then run the command

fastboot boot boot.img

be sure to spam vol - or back or what ever the kernel requres to get into CMW on reboot.

flash the SU.zip

http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip

cant remember who linked that one

reboot and the kernel will be gone ;)

enjoy rooted phone.

Pvy.
[Xperia Arc General] rec71:
You need fastboot.exe. If you have it then first download the SuperUser zip file from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24825517&postcount=105

And put it on your SD card.

Then download any kernel that has CWM support. There is one here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24826349&postcount=110

Then put your phone into fastboot mode (turn it off then plug it in while holding the Back button - the LED will turn BLUE - if it doesn't then try plugging in while holding the MENU button instead, I can never remember which one it is).

Then copy the kernel to your device like this:

fastboot boot recoveryARC.img

Your device will reboot - when the SONY logo goes bright start spamming the VOLUME DOWN button to enter Recovery.

Then flash the SuperUser.zip file from your SD card. Unplug the phone, reboot and you have root access. You should then head to Google Play and download Busybox Installer and install the latest release.

Good luck.
[Xperia Arc General] CrazyPeter:
Isn't this the naff Chinese leaked build? Not the final one?

I think i'll wait for the dust to settle, too much hacking and failure stories right now, along with "fluff" from leaked betas and prereleases and lt15i owners trying to get stuff working.
[Xperia Arc General] rec71:
This is the final release. I love it FWIW.

However, installing it was a PITA - I bricked my device three times before I got it right using Flashtool. But it's worth it - I've been running the beta since it was released and the performance of the final release is MUCH better.

Plus they seem to have supercharged the launcher - I'm only getting a redraw if I've been running a heavy game (Temple Run for example). The beta version would reload the launcher a lot.

There will be a new version of Flashtool that will allow the official FTF to be flashed without all the hassle - might be worth waiting for. The issue is with changing the partition table or something.
[Xperia Arc General] ayman.maestro:
only fastboot doomkernel

then install su by recovery

then flash stock kernel by flash tool & exclude all other option

and reboot
[Xperia Arc General] rec71:
You might have a long wait. The .62 release never got rooted.

Well, there IS one-click-root method, hmm... 3 clicks actually, for stock ICS ROM without unlocking your bootloader.

Here is the link.

You may not know Chinese, but I personally don't intend to translate it and write an instruction because I am not the pioneer who needs to be respected.
[Xperia Arc General] omarfaieq007:
how did u sort out it's without unlocking bootloader:D

can anyone from china confirm or at least translate?google translate fails..
[Xperia Arc General] Madfysh:
Can you upload that rar file here?
[Xperia Arc General] rasgula:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awaisuk:
Hey,

So I noticed that I get these "smudges" on my screen all the time. I am not sure how to describe it, but they look like smudges that make the screen go blurry but when you wipe it off with a cloth the scree is normal again.

This never happened before and it just started now and it keeps happening whenever I type on the screen or something. It is very annoying as I always have to keep cleaning my screen for the blurriness to go away.

If anyone know what I am talking about, is there a way to fix this?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattisfaction:
Wash your hands before touching the screen should do it. ;-)
[General Questions and Answers] cepcamba:
The simultaneous video and image capture from HTC is really amazing and very functional. Although according to reviews it's hard to frame a shot while capturing vids, it's really something good to have from time to time specially if you only have one cam and wants to capture videos and pics at the same time.

What I was wondering is if this is something that can be achieved with software? There certainly are some devices much better than the OneX in terms of camera quality, such as the Xperia S that I'm eyeing :p

Any ideas on this?
[HTC One X] Slaytanic:
Hi, I've noticed that my phone rebooted twice in this first week of life, because I've found it in the SIM unlock screen and then it asked me to send a report to HTC because of the unexpected restart... Did it happen to you? Hope they solve this too with the next OTA...

Hello everyone. I saw the post of one of the developer ladies about Vallhala and I downloaded from the link bellow, the instructions say copy to root sd card and follow the certain directions, my phone is already rooted and all I am trying to do is just download rom that's gonna speed up my phone and give me a different look. I don't get the part how do I copy those files to my sd card just highlight them and copy to SD card??? I will really appreciate if someone can help me out with that. Thank you very much.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
You can either take out the sdcard (settings->sdcard & storage->unmount sdcard) physically put it in a card reader and plug it to your pc or you can plug your phone itself to the pc and choose to mount storage).

Basically if the ROM is under 180MB you can use your dropbox account or simply download ROM directly to your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sunsurfer42:
:-P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
Just download it straight from your phone then when your in cwm it will be under downloads
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] iliamais:
Thanks for the exp.

Thank you very much to all responders. I am very sorry for bothering with these what might sound stupid questions. i tried to copy that new vallhala from white I unmounted sd card put it in but when I am trying to copy and paste in to it it says the disk is protected in general it doesn't allowing me to copy. I do have clockworkmod and every time I am trying to reboot in recovery when the black screen comes out with droid robot it starts installing but it says failed after three lines. All I want is custom rom to make my phone faster and customizable icons and themes. I would really appreciate if somebody can just put easiest steps and link with nice rom and the way to download it. I am new to this rom downloads and install things. Again thank you very much to whoever will respond. My phone is Galaxy s 4g firmware version 2.3.6 model SGH-T959V build number gingerbread.VUKJ6. if that means anything. Rooted thank you again
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
On your phone download the rom once its downloaded boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache and a factory reset. Goto advanced and make sure your mounts are unmount mount mount unmount. Then go back and click on install zip from sd card and scroll down to downloads and select the rom you wanna install click yes, let it install. Then fix permissions and reboot
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] iliamais:
thanks

OK when I am trying to reboot into recovery thats exactly what it does. Black screen with droid robot. Installing package... Finding update package... opening update package.... verifying update package... and then in red E: failed to verify whole-file sighature... signature vericafication failed then I wipe cache under there it says cache wipe complete.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
That sounds like you are on standard/stock recovery, not on CWM. Before you go any further, can you tell us what ROM you were on previously? If you're not sure, boot the phone up, go into Settings -> About phone and tell us the Firmware version, Baseband version, Kernel version, and Build number say.

if you are on stock recovery, we'll have to get you flashed with a ROM/kernel that has CWM recovery before you'll be able to flash Valhalla.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
I agree with Stephen it sounds like your on stock recovery. Goto the Bible thread and download the kg4 starter pack which will give you root access cwm and the gb bootloaders then you'll be able to boot into cwm and flash valhalla
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
You need to use the Heimdall One-Click. Follow the second link in my signature and flash with bootloaders. Read the notes. And thank bhundven.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CollegeProfesor:
My screen broke and nothing on screen is viewable. I also need to drag down and enable USB via my notification bar so anything via USB is pretty much out of the question. Is there any way to restore this phone? Somebody will buy it broken, but it still has all my info on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] OhmEye:
Do you have clockworkmod recovery installed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kletiz:
Mhl adapter would probably do the trick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
That would work on TW based ROMs. But I think on the other thread the OP made about this he mentioned he is on MIUI. In my experience the MHL adapter does not work on MIUI. But you could use Odin to load a TW based ROM, then use the MHL adapter to copy items to a microSD card, or delete them, or format internal SD. But you can't use USB and MHL at the same time.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] OhmEye:
But, if he has cwm recovery installed I believe we can talk him through the hard key sequence required for a wipe and factory reset.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
That won't wipe the internal memory, like pictures and other files, just the apps.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CollegeProfesor:
Guys, I ended up being able to project the phones sceen onto my PC via androidscreencast. I finally did a restore but the phone was still rooted and was running MIUI.

The problem is the screencast doesnt work when you go into Clockwork or download mode, so I was blind trying to navigate the menus to flash stock software. Long story short the phone ended up not turning on anymore despite being plugged in, battery removed, everything. It wouldnt work on screencast anymore so I just sold it to my brothers friend who might fix it or sell it for parts.

Not really a biggie for me since I only shelled out 50 via bucks for it via radioshack and got 70 back.

Now im phoneless, waiting for the GS3 :)

Thanks for the help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] OhmEye:
So glad you worked it out, and congratulations on the unscheduled upgrade. ;-)

I never considered the video-out solution. Talk about thinking outside of the box! Did the screen input still work with it broken?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowCodeGaming:
I'm trying to port the aurora rom for desire, but it keeps bootlooping. Anyone with some experience can help me?

Logcat attached.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinical:
Are you using m2sd?

If you are, try moving cmdalvik to your sd-ext. that worked for me.

To do that use adb on your computer. enter adb shell while your phone is in the bootloop and then enter

m2sd cmdalvik enable

hope this helps.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowCodeGaming:
Nah it uses ad2sdx.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y2Ne1:
ad2sdx is kinda bad cause big files like games dont work on that cause of the data i think ...double check tho bro
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altruistic666:
I think it uses a ext4 partition. Did you create partition correctly? Which recovery are you using? Advisable to use 4ext if you are not using that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowCodeGaming:
Guys, i'm not trying to install a rom. I'm trying to port a rom. So comments about partitions and stuff are useless to me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iperzampem0:
They're not useless! Simply because if it bootloops you can potentially have bad partition layout... Anyway I can take a look at the logcat.

Mmm, seems like a kernel issue but I'm not really sure. I'm not a dev :(

Use the boot.img and the /system/lib/hw/ folder of another Sense 3.5 rom for Nexus One and copy to your rom.

Then try again...

EDIT: or while it's bootlooping, take out the battery, reinsert, go into recovery and flash only the kernel v8 by dbasabe, then reboot and see what happens.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowCodeGaming:
Yeah, but my system partition is big enough, and my ext 4 is 1gb, so it seems that that is not the problem.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowCodeGaming:
I tried both... Still does not work :(:( Any more ideas?
[HTC One X] Slaytanic:
Hi,

I wa just wondering about what was the best browser, in terms or performance, power consumption and features.. I've installed dolphin hd and chrome beta.. my impressions is that the stock browser behaves better than the dolphin hd browser, but this one has some features like plugins which can be useful.. I have not used chrome too much so I don't have an opinion about it yet.. what do you think?

Using Chrome on all my ICS devices. Especially since Chrome syncs the browsers.
[HTC One X] Stevie1984:
I found that the stock browser occasionally hangs when loading pages with lots of text. switched to chrome and I find this much faster + the syncing across devices is useful :)
[HTC One X] snowwhite007:
I use opera great options available and its snappy

Mod or Die
[HTC One X] schriss:
Chrome Beta as main browser. Occasionally I use stock, and Opera+Dolphin Browser HD. For now, sticking with Chrome.
[HTC One X] Krysh:
Opera everywhere

2 pc's, 1 laptop, 1 tablet, 2 phones

syncs bookmarks, history, searches, tiles automatically
[HTC One X] redbull69:
Chrome beta is best on android so far, tried all others.
[HTC One X] schriss:
Do a test, compare them. What I do is I try zooming and scrolling obviously, but then the final test is to open website like www.techradar.com, desktop version of course, zoom out completely in portrait mode and observe smallest text. You will notice it won't be the same on all browsers, it will be better looking on some.
[HTC One X] AH64-D:
I use Opera on PC and One X, but flash in Opera seems broken on ICS.

Opera mobile for me stutter a lot.. anyone with this issue (or are you using opera next)?

Chrome works fine.
[HTC One X] DazNoonan:
I was happy with the stock browser, however after trying Chrome yesterday I'm already converted over. Using it to view this site now and it just looks and navigates brilliantly and the sync with my MacBook helps too!
[HTC One X] Slaytanic:
I like the speed and the pinch to zoom of the stock browser and the features , plugins and design of the Dolphin browser... I'm trying to use the chrome browser but it gives me the idea it still lacks something... Maybe when it comes out of the beta (if ever) it will be better.

BTW, I see that few people uses dolphin, don't you like it?

I ditched Opera Mobile for Chrome Beta, its awesome. Most slick browser have ever used. Lovin it
[HTC One X] Slaytanic:
I've installed chrome beta, dolphin hd and opera mobile and my conclusion is that the stock browser is the fastest and smoothest.. chrome and opera are not so smooth when scrolling... Dolphin and the stock browser have text reflow, which I like, and dolphin has some interesting plugins like screen-cut.. I see no point in using opera mobile... About chrome, the sync feature is good, but it's still inferior to dolphin and stock, IMHO...
