Just noticed I am seeing duplicate images in both gallery apps. Only for photos taken since updating to ICS. Seems random. Cleaning gallery data doesn't fix it either.
[Xperia Arc General] ArmorD:
This. Every time I swipe up, it goes to right/left, and every time I swipe left/right, it jumps :D

But yeah, I think ICS is OK. At least it's ten times faster than the beta.
[Xperia Arc General] rec71:
Sigh. Now touch controls in Angry Birds and Frisbee have stopped working. Only a reboot will fix it. WTF?
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
Installed on my Arc first with flash tool and it was very laggy. Repaired with PC COMPANION. Much better but suddenly Swype keyboard starts acting weird. Need to reboot often to fix it. Will give it few more days and will go back to GB.
[Xperia Arc General] Bhambya:
Hi, I have an arc (not arc S) and unlocked bootloader.. Will the repair method work for me?? Damn I hate the laggyness.. Anyone?
[Xperia Arc General] gogobaba:
Well i instaled ICS as well and im not empressed at all to be honest.Im using apex launcher because the stock one is **** and laggy as hell but the overall experiance is kinda good its the same as with the gingerbread but i expected a bit more.We will defenetly need custom rom for ICS.Now i got 20 30 less free ram
[Xperia Arc General] OsamaBT:
Hi guys,

If anyone is having problems installing the Official ICS from sony for Arc S/Arc then follow the instructions in this guide & in this guide there are also links to all the files you will need.

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/offic...-for-xperia-arc-and-arc-s-installation-guide/

Secondly I have installed ICS on my Arc S (BL locked) in first try without any problems & its not lagging at all. Only the home app from Sony was actually very laggy so I replaced it with the from the Xperia S (in the attachments) & also the music player from Xperia S (also in the attachments) provides excellent audio quality & is also louder. Apart from that the rest of the system is very responsive!

links to xperia s apps post (direct apk install using any software no root needed): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1516806

Any my of phone data or apps weren't deleted & besides I uninstalled all the games after the update so that they do not cause any problems due to GB data.

Remember to only use this ftf file as it has been successfully installed by most users without problems.

http://jumbofiles.com/0n63z0luvp9o

I hope this information helps you all :D
[Xperia Arc General] Darkfunnyguy:
Chiefy009 or anyone want status bar toggle then may I suggest Notification Launcher which I currently used as I can modify then icon colour or add different images plus add applications.

Also Morequickpanel which on compatible with ICS which I cannot used as the moment as I am on Gingerbread.

Both are available on Android market.

freezing system app

Can you freeze system app with the unmodified stock ICS ROM?

This is probably the only reason I root my phone, and if it's already available in stock, then it's perfect for me :)
[Xperia Arc General] AxoO69:
Need help, Calengoo doesn't synchro with stock launcher 4.0.3
[Xperia Arc General] Anicane:
I have to say at first it was abit laggy but after removing bloatwares and charged it with supercharger v6 it running pretty smooth, by the way i have Arc so i am pretty happy with ICS update uptill now.
[Xperia Arc General] rec71:
No. Only ANT and FB inside Xperia.
[Xperia Arc General] progosu:
the launcher is extremely laggy, it's laggy overall, cm9 is superior next to this sony's laggy thing.
[Xperia Arc General] goce.nakov:
I have Arc S, I first flashed the ftf via flash tool, then repaired thru PC Companion, so far guys I realy don't have any lags or hickups.

Phone is very responsive and fast.
[Xperia Arc General] omarfaieq007:
I flashed but I can't repair in PCC..always giving me some message about software update components not installed or started..any help?:)
[Xperia Arc General] azaberl:
"Losing signal" or "emergency calls only"

If anybody had that "losing signal" problem before updating to ICS, is this problem solved with the new baseband?
[Xperia Arc General] goce.nakov:
I didn't do anything particular, repair function was there and repaired without any problems.
[Xperia Arc General] ArmorD:
Are AOSP(Cyanogenod, MIUI and ICELite) roms based on Sony's code or do they base on the Google's original source?
[Xperia Arc General] DemonicHawk:
AOSP stands for Android Open Source Project, which means they're based on Google's source. ICELite though, is not completely AOSP and uses Sony's framework to provide all the basic driver support and whatnot (this is mentioned in the ROM thread).
[Xperia Arc General] chia8331:
anybody have apps unreadable (those moved to sdcard using app2sd) when plug in to computer after flashing ICS? plz help
[Xperia Arc General] arcsy:
whats there to tweak ? Arc S flashed, then repaired via PC companion, I have almost 200 MB RAM free at start, when I load all my apps, around 100 - 150 MB free RAM.. before on GB it was around 50 MB free.. so ICS is goood :D
[Xperia Arc General] omarfaieq007:
the problem is that I cant repair..PCC always giving an error in the preparing step..damn..
[Xperia Arc General] arcsy:
Did you flash it with LT18i_4.1.A.0.562_Generic.ftf or ? Because that one worked for me, no problems at all...
[Xperia Arc General] omarfaieq007:
YES I DID..

[Xperia Arc General] kkarenn:
sorry to reactivate this thread again but I just recently updated my phone to 4.0.3 and wonder...

anyone know how can i turn off the background data (like how we could do so before the update?)

thanks!
[Xperia Arc General] xtacy!:
The latest version for your phone should be the 4.0.4.

And if you go to Settings, the 3rd option should be Data Usage. You can turn it off from there. (The other option is pressing More->Mobile networks and turning it off from there).
[Xperia Arc General] CraiulLup:
My Arc seems a bit more sluggish after the update than on GB, prolly 'cause of different requirements by the 2 roms
[Xperia Arc General] kkarenn:
I had been delaying the update of my phone but apparently after I updated, it is 4.0.3 not 4.0.4 =\

Thank you again for the reply!
[Xperia Arc General] xtacy!:
Go here, grab the latest 4.0.4 for your phone and flash it using Flashtool.

Also, for further discussion on ICS, please do it on this thread.

Cheers!
[Xperia Arc General] Lusterboi:
I haven't flashed my phone at all but from what I understand, your phone is not wiped completely after a flash or seus upgrade. That's why a repair is recommended, it factory restores the phone. When I first updated to ics, alot of my old files were still there. My phone froze from time to time also. But after I repaired it, it removed all of my old files and it had been smoother and haven't froze once yet.
[Xperia Arc General] UFO_Sasquatch:
One big lag that was not fixed (at least in my case) with 4.0.4 is when trying to bring up the dial pad. I have about 3-5 seconds delay. Unreal.
[Xperia Arc General] skandals:
Install the Phonebook.apk from Xperia S =)
[Xperia Arc General] firedeimos:
So far so good, loving ICS with custom ROM's of course!
[Xperia Arc General] Galileo:
Ok so far i have tried roms, the stock 4.0.4, arconium ics 4.0 and cm9 fxp 128, cm9 is pretty awesome for not having software rendering enabled, arconium is pretty snappy, but as always, not as fast or smooth as gb, and the stock rom? id rather switch to a xperia x10 mini original before using that crap again.
[Xperia Arc General] mr_esmit:
If I repair using pc companion after flash, will I lose root??
[Xperia Arc General] xtacy!:
If you have unlocked your bootloader, don't use PC Companion or SEUS.

And answering your question, yes, you will lose root.

[Xperia Arc General] mando508:
If his bootloader is unlocked with test point method, he can use SEUS and PC Companion with no problems.
[Xperia Arc General] omarfaieq007:
hello guys..I have upgraded to ICS 4.04 on my Arc S..and frankly not satisfied with it..laggy and unresponsive sometimes I even have to turn it off to be functional again..plus half of the games don't work..so I decided to return to GB the .62 version using flash tools..is it ok?any risk there of 0% battery issues?any help is highly appreciated..thank you so much in advance..

I'm running Sky ICS ROM (leaked ICS) with RocketDial app from the market.

I really like the app, but have one problem. Whenever I click on "add contact", nothing happens. WTH am I doing wrong?

I've already cleared data, uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled. But there was no change in the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] robin48:
I use the Rocket Contacts. Hit menu and click add contacts
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
Yeah, that's what I do.

Nothing happens when I do it.

Already uninstalled, reinstalled the app.

Maybe it's not liking something I froze in Titanium. Hmm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
Yep, that was it. I had frozen contacts in titanium. Doh

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
Do you know if "Call Recorder" works with exdialer or rocketdialer like it does with the dialer included in the ICS leaks? I'm not sure if the dialer being used would impact it or not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jnicks510:

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] irfanbagus:
this is still alpha release and not fully tested. the idea based on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1155613 but this is diffrent implementation. i successfully boot using stock rom dxlc1 on internal storage and hybrid 2.1 on sdcard.

instalation :

1. flash kenel using odin (or other method for kernel flashing)

2. make 4 partition in your sdcard

1st fat-32 for your data

2nd ext3 for system

3rd ext3 for cache

4th ext3 for data

for testing, i use about 300MB for all ext3 partition

3. edit updater-script

4. install your edited rom as usual (i use cwm)

5. done. if you want boot to sdcard, create empty file named "bootsdcard" in your sdcard 1st partition and reboot

note :

- you can boot using dual rom but not dual kernel (yet). this one is stock kernel, so no init.d (yet)

- it does NOT work with a2sd or link2sd

- like i said it's not fully tested yet. it's only for dev and tester. use with caution

- boot from sdcard is slower compared to internal storage. little bit laggy i think, but still very usable

- if you already tested,please report your result

This is awesome :o
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] sunilvyas:
will try and report...
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] irfanbagus:
if you try before install rom to sdcard please check if your sdcard partition is corect (/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 , /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 , /dev/block/mmcblk0p3, /dev/block/mmcblk0p4)

and the filesystem also correct. better using tools in linux. editing updater-script also little bit tricky. i use hybrid because i don't have other custom rom. i also try direct extract from stock rom image but not working (boot loop).
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] kurotsugi:
sounds interesting...count me in irfan. repartition my old sdcard atm.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] kurotsugi:
I can't convert the script. dsixda kitchen always add new lines if I convert the script from amend to edify. I can't get rid some lines...how can i do that in better way?

edit: these lines (and some more) always added automatically.

assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),

write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot"),

delete("/tmp/boot.img"));
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] irfanbagus:
i don't know if it is proper way, but i just unzip,edit,and re-zip. i use cwm, not sure if working with stock recovery.

just remove that line. it's for update boot.img

[edit]--

and i know it's tricky to install rom to sdcard. i just need few hour to mod kernel (ramdisk) but almost a day just to find working way to install rom to sdcard
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] kurotsugi:
thats a nice discovery. at first I thougt both updater-script and updater-binary are strictly related that we can't recklessly modify only updater-script. modifying it right now...

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

it works...now I can set my internal and system partition to any size (lol) having 300mb internal memory sounds nice for everyone.

edit: make sure you're using a fast sdcard.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] dayanzterz:
ill try this. maybe. :D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] kurotsugi:
yup...this discovery will help us a lot. I'll edit my post soon.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] irfanbagus:
just don't forget to leave space for fat-32 partition. it's not funny if you have 500MB for system partition but only 300MB "sdcard" partition :D

and with minimum works, it is also safe to test alpha/beta rom without messing with your phone. if you got boot loop when you try rom on sdcard, just turn off your phone, eject your sdcard, turn on you phone, insert your sdcard, and delete "bootsdcard" file. your phone will normal again.

just like link2sd or a2sd, if you boot from sdcard, it's better to move you application to phone, not sdcard.

it's just experiment, we still could improve with add ext4 support for ex.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] kurotsugi:
I have 8gb memory card. leave 6gb for fat32 is more than enough for me.

EDIT: this is basic installer script for the rom. it will install the rom in sdcard. they can use this script instead of make one for theirself.

at this time,, cant relate buddy.. for newbie like me.. pls make a tutorial for that bro.. great help for us again and more thank can be gain also.. haha... nyc work again buddy
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] kurotsugi:
its only contain the installer script to install the rom to sdcard. everything else is the same with previous one.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] irfanbagus:
i want to make it easier to follow, but (maybe) different rom have different install script. so i just write general method and one example for hybrid, because i only have that rom in my hard disk and my connection too slow to download other custom rom. if someone with large custom rom collection can upload updater-script from custom rom (updater-script only, not full rom), i can edit it for you. it's located in "META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script" inside your custom rom zip file.

and please, not everybody do something just for thanks meter. someone maybe do it just to make his/her phone better, or just to share, or just to make someone else with more expensive phone jealous :D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] kurotsugi:
I've already made one irfan. check on my mediafire link.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] irfanbagus:
i did, and thank you for sharing. but different rom need different script, even if usually all updater-script from cutom rom do the same thing, mount, delete, extract, create simlink, chmod file, install a2sd, and install kernel. to install to sdcard only need simple modification, but still need little knowledge about edify.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] kurotsugi:
check this picture. people will get jealous after saw this one (lol)

even if your kernel wouldn't support a2sd, it still gives miracles for our device. I have some new idea's to make use this feature. it will be fun :D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] phiexz:
IMHO, why u need to use sdcard partition for cache partition

>Flash Irfan kernel

>Create 4 sd partition block via minitools(fat32,ext3 x3)

>Install custom rom.But b4 installed i replace meta-inf files with Kurotsugi meta-inf

>Create empty file and name it "bootsdcard" in the root of sdcard n reboot.

>It will boot 2nd rom and if u want to revert back the 1st rom,delete the bootsdcard files n reboot.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Dr. Narinder:
Create empty file or folder and name it "bootsdcard" in the root of sdcard n reboot

Please clarify
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Harsh06:
After successfully installed custom rom with update-script modify,that bootsdcard will load 2nd rom..

Root Ex > sdcard > create new file and name it bootsdcard > reboot

If u success then 2nd rom will boot on your sdcard.Sorry for my bad english.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] irfanbagus:
ideally you use modified updater-script from your custom rom. only need small change to updater-script. but the one from kurotsugi might be work because most custom rom did the same thing. if someone can upload updater-script from popular custom rom in this forum, i can edited for you. please check post #18

in few days, if i have time, i will write about technical detail of my mod, so other dev can integrated to their kernel or rom.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Harsh06:
Thanks irfanbagus..If u have time can u help me edit the updater-script from buzzrom 2.1

Thanks in advance.

http://www.4shared.com/zip/VNPlSOW2/META-INF.html?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] kurotsugi:
its only one implementation of irfan's work. in my case, I only increase the partition size for the /data. there'll be more fun since there are more several possibilities of its implementation.

nope...you can use mine. I just feel bad because not mention that it is based on myss's script.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] irfanbagus:
remove ".txt" extension. please double check before use, i am not 100% sure it's working before try it by myself. use "diff" program to show which line i removed.

btw i just realize 2 updater-script that i edited try to mount /dev/block/stl19. that partition is not exist in sgy. anyone know why or it's just bad porting/generator
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] kurotsugi:
@irfan: the installer script from myss, old repencis, hybrid, old creed, are basicly same. I've found that they're different only on the sequences, its addtional script like 'print_ui', and the one used to show progress bar. I'm not sure if it will work on newer rom because it has more script to enable a2sd and install the kernel.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Harsh06:
