the roms of all xperia 2011 line are familiar, what do you want from arc/s rom?

definitely camera and hdmi is no way, these features need hardware support.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jjkkyu:
no, this is a gb rom, won't add any ics feature.
[Xperia Play Android Development] supernoodles2011:
did some power testing (using a stopwatch) as it seemed the battery was draining kinda quick

With no apps running and wifi on with screen on lowest brightness

1% took 4mins 57 seconds

With no apps running and no Wifi on with screen on lowest

1% took 6 mins 54 seconds

guess im just paranoid + running apps drains it aswell i suppose

(this is good to users who wonder about battery usage gives a good estimate)
[Xperia Play Android Development] jjkkyu:
I tested USB tethering on v1.4+me, it works fine with my 2g connection.

I think your problem is not on the USB tethering, test 2g connection to see if it works.

[Xperia Play Android Development] cedie1001:
I use 1.4 version, tnx for the info. I will change to 1.4b on weekends.

:-)
[Xperia Play Android Development] mustbepbs:
This ROM is only for GSM, right? No hope for CDMA? :<
[Xperia Play Android Development] noojster:
Doomkernel v 14, Ocd 1.6 Ghz

TrueAncestor Rom v 1.4b

Keiran's Darkforest tweak app

Now who needs ICS? :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] azreezalazrul@gmail.com:
I use ur version 1.2 and use voltage control just only ask what should I choose,on voltage control? The volume?
[Xperia Play Android Development] pokemanz:
This ROM is quite good for gaming. I WILL stick with it for a while, and trust me I've tried alot of GB and ICS ROMs.

What I did:

1) Flashed .58 Enhanced in Flashtool

2) Flashed DoomKernel V14 via fastboot

3) Booted Recovery and flashed TrueAncestor 14b + Doomkernel Wifi modules

4) Removed bloatware

Overclocked to 1.4Ghz and my games have been running smooth with very little lag.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jjkkyu:
what does bloatware mean?
[Xperia Play Android Development] pokemanz:
Unnecessary software. It will vary from user to user. But I removed stuff like Timescape, Gmail, etc because I won't use it.

I use my phone to play games and make phone calls. :D

How to get the calendar working?

Did I do something wrong: the ROM does not seem to include the calendar app, and I cannot get any option to sync my google calendars. I could not find the .apk in the rom, so I manually added them from another rom as system files but it is still not working. Any idea what I need to do?

I installed the rom by following the instructions: .58, then doomkernel, then wipe cache and data, then trueancestor+minimizer.
[Xperia Play Android Development] itazchu:
minimizer uninstalled various apps including calendar app. if you want to have calendar, flash TA 1.3b or 1.4b. boot this ROM and backup necessary apps you want to keep using Titanium backup. after that you can flash the minimizer then you can restore the application you want that uninstalled by minimizer using Titanium backup.
[Xperia Play Android Development] thanksgiving60:
oh man

the battery life on this rom is amazing!!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] jjkkyu:
minimum edition doesn't contain calender app.

if you want this, just install 1.4b without minimizer.
[Xperia Play Android Development] arman68:
Thanks for the info. I can also extract the content of 1.4b/1.3b and install the needed .apk to system. After checking carefully, I think I can see that I was missing some. Here is what I think I need to add back after running the minimizer:

!	CalendarProvider.apk

!	GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk

!	SemcCalendar.apk

If I may suggest, given that the calendar functionality cannot be installed easily, unlike gmail or the maps, I think it would be better if the minimizer did not delete the calendar functionality. There might be another .apk which would be better left in the rom: QuickPanelSettings.apk (I believe this is used to configure the notification toggles widget).

Apart from that, great job removing bloatware, this really makes life much easier. I have a few more bloatware which I like to remove, and I think this is what other posters refer to (total: 20.2 MB):

ClockWidgets.apk

CosmicFlow.apk

livewallpaperearth.apk

MediaWidget.apk

OnOffTools.apk (not needed with the notification toggles)

PhotoWidget.apk

PSclassicWallpaper.apk

PSoriginalWallpaper.apk

RootExplorer.apk

SEMCSetupWizard.apk

textinput-chn.apk

WeatherWidget.apk

WidgetPicker.apk (only needed for the ClockWidgets and OnOffTools)

widgetworldclock.apk

Another improvement that could be done to the minimizer, would be to replace the bloated DefaultThemes.apk (10MB!) with a smaller one, maybe only including 1 theme.

[Xperia Play Android Development] vokal1992:
every time I delete it I loose data, need confirmation
[Xperia Play Android Development] arman68:
I confirm that the calendar functionality is restored by copying those files to the /system/app/ and setting the permission to rw-r--r--

Same for the notification toggles widget configuration tool:

The attached DefaultThemes.apk works well, and is only 3.3MB. It still includes 7 colours schemes, so it could be minimized even more.

Hey Jjkkyu!

Just wanna let you know that my data is now working with the patch you gave me :D

Thank you very much, I'm so excited for your rom!

Here's my new apn settings, it download itself when I opened the browser..

And because I've been using your minimum version, now I need the semccalendar.apk *i've backed it up but idk why it's gone*

And I think you must not delete the preinstalledservices.apk on your minimum version, because that file is required to run the ps pocket (just saying btw :D )

[Xperia Play Android Development] dhani88_TotallyNooob:
I still not quiet understand how the minimizer work,,

let's Say my current rom is True ancestor v1.2

and then I flash the minimizer..

How can I get back to True ancestor v1.2..?

Did I need to make back up before flashing the minimizer..?
[Xperia Play Android Development] GetPatriotized:
I'm trying to avoid the restoring/rooting/installing CWM process so can I just flash it over AFTER I wipe everything and factory reset in recovery?
[Xperia Play Android Development] shion420:
The Rom 1.4b wipes your system/data you MUST backup data, and after the installation (rom+addons) go to restore-->advanced restore-->only data

That's what i did.

So yeah, you can do it that way.
[Xperia Play Android Development] niamdroid:
It contains script to delete some of apk files of system, so it makes your internal space larger

Copy your scripts to /system/etc/init.d and set all the permissions on the scripts.

Supercharger has many custom choice, you'd better run it by yourself. One way to run the supercharger scripts is to install a terminal emulator on your phone.
