I have flashed it, everything is working. However, there is a problem with USB Mass Storage. I cant turn on it because System UI stops as soon as witching the buttom.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] teacher77:
Great Rom. But is there any way to increase ringtones volumes. Even if at the maximum, they seem very low.

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
No one else has reported that, did you full wipe? Or install a new mod e.g ReloadedICS?

Incall volume is a bit low but if you put the volume down one and back up it is louder. I can try to boost it a bit for next release
[Xperia Arc Android Development] aboycalledsu:
if coming from rc4, do i need a full wipe, or should i just flash the kernel and rom?

thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ArcMan09:
Full wipe is a Must.

to Many Bug Fixes.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ironlady:
does hdmi work for oyu guys
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bhuvangaur:
Updated to rc5!!! All perfect, smooth as butter! But one thing, when incoming call event happens, I don't see the red sign to hang the call and green sign to pick it up! Hope you are getting my point .
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bhuvangaur:
If u have installed a theme, then place it in phone memory instead of memory card.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] usmankh10:
i need onscreen buttons for this rom

some one plz upload for me
[Xperia Arc Android Development] usmankh10:
i have the same issue , call pickup nd reject buttons are not showed while call is coming

its some graphical glitch
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bhuvangaur:
true that! anyone? just to confirm? so that i can relax that it related to the rom. anyone? developer?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] usmankh10:
i was tawking about this issue
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bhuvangaur:

AOKP Kernel

Hi dinesh690 does this rom works with AOKP kernel ? I tryed but all the thinks get FC. Any Solution ?

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Guys going to boost the volume for next release.

Anyways this is based on cm9 so aokp kernel will be buggy. Don't use it

Wifi Problem

Hey guys, my phone today doesn't connect with my wifi and says: "Internet connection with low-quality avoided", but i'm in front of my router and this is the only rom (CM9 general) thats i noticed the problem. Is anyone can help me ? I already tryed another rom and thats ok.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bhuvangaur:
try this, delete the files in

/data/misc/dhcp/dhcp_list in the root folder

then let us know. i know it sucks when no one replies, i had no clue to ur issue, as soon as i ha one i posted! :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] or2008:
I had the same problem and now it works! thank you
[Xperia Arc Android Development] calage1234:
No Files on Folder

Man there isn't any file on this folder :crying: i have open a question on Free Xperia and i'm waiting an answer.

Oh i need get back to original CM9 to make a logcat.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] yt92:
downloading..

looks good!

i have a question is what kernel i can use? only the one you gave? can i use ArcKnight or Doom?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] calage1234:
Kernel

This rom just work with kernel provide on the thread. ArcKnight and Doom is just for roms based on the stock rom from Sony
[Xperia Arc Android Development] medo-op:
Everything works smoothly .. But I faced a problem as in the attached picture .. Is there a solution ??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bhuvangaur:
This is what I was also discussing earlier and one more user! No one responded. Now I have shifted to original cm9. They give weekly updates! Best part. Plus I find it speedy too with no issues
[Xperia Arc Android Development] medo-op:
me too .. shifted to original cm9 , thk`s mat.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] G-martar:
Question

is this rom working on locked bootloader? :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Well, I don't think FM radio works but you can use 3rd part radio apps such as Tunein
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Fuel-The-Droid:
Dont wanna be desperate...but you reuploaded or reuploading? :-P

P.S. Am having trouble with the kernel thing.., downloaded the main rom and gapps! So just to check if it works on any other kernel...i installed it on doomkernel chaos v19. And whoaaaa.....it didn't work! Then i came to know that it wont work for this rom as it is based on cm9 and cm uses its own kernel! Silly of me! B-)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Main ROM is nearly uploaded to new host then just new files. Sorry about my slow upload speed :P
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Fuel-The-Droid:
You wont believe if i would post my download and uploading speed! :-B

Please notify when you are done uploading the data (including the kernel).

[Xperia Arc Android Development] novaproject:
This will be the perfect ROM. I'm starting to test it :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Everything is reuploaded guys, enjoy!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HellRoot:
i will give this a try aswell... :) even though i love the Xperia S rom.... but i can always go back if i need to :D

thanks for the work :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Chrisglz:
Thanks crack!! There is any way to have the original sony ics camera?? Install the apk may work??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Its not as simple as that due to libs and such but I could try and see if I could get that to work. Abit busy atm you see due to exams in a month. Revise Revise Revise! :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Guys, uploaded a new Hotfix for the Brightness issue :) ( When you increase brightness and lockscreen it would automatically go all the way back down)

Enjoy!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spromper:
battery usage is not available, could you fix that? Love the rom btw!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] calage1234:
Hey can you port the SEMC Camera for this rom ? i don't know if this will work for video record.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
SEMC camera woudn't fix video camera issue lol or any 3rd party video camera would work :) Anyway, Battery Usage isn't implented in CM9 Atm as Tenacius pointed out :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Tenacious:
Battery usage isn't implemented in cm9 for now.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HellRoot:
i have installed.. looks nice.. but why do i have to write an unlock code for my network ? my phone is not locked and i have never seen this before. what kind of code is it that is want ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Just discard it, it works without it :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Retardo25:
I decided to give your rom a try and man was I pleasantly surprised! I love it already but I'm sure you will keep improving it.

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Thank you, glad to see you appreciate it :) and Yes I will keep improving it
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HellRoot:
Thanks it works okay ... Will test more tomorrow :-)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shinaipt99:
I'm loving this rom, smooth and fast... but is it possible to revert the theme to the stock one? i dont like the black one that much and i do prefer the stock one. Also, when selecting the contact to send sms, the pictures dont show... anyway, keep going the great work!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Fuel-The-Droid:
Totally in love with it! :D

[Xperia Arc Android Development] tenchu_712:
fxp116 is out now :D

plz update your amazing rom
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shahzaib.khan:
dinesh i want to inform u that most of the live wall pappers i tried from play store but none of it work on ur rom so i thonk may be there is some thing in ur rom which is causing a problem :/.......

and one more request.....can u make an addon for Xperia S UI (launcher) with it all the themes working eith its all default widgets like music app and weather widgets.......????
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Retardo25:
I'm thinking this rom should stay close to Cm9, meaning AOSP. No Sony UI, there are other roms for that.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shahzaib.khan:
yeah but the smoothness of this rom is just sooo awesumm there is no other ICS which can rum smoothly with live wall pappers infact GB cant runs smoothly with live wall papper thats the reason i asked u for that ....

Battery fast drain?

Wysyłane z mojego LT18i za pomocą Tapatalk 2
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Great too see that you guys like it :D and sorry but this Is an AOSP ROM and the point is that it looks like stock OVA, if you want SONY UI try Arconium or something but if many people want that ill make it. Also, let Me see why most live wallpapers aren't working, th stock ones work . Btw will update it
[Xperia Arc Android Development] macmeier:
Great ROM!

I noticed, that the speaker-volume during phonecard is very low. I can't find a way to make it louder.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
Same as fxp115 with phone volume, during call press down on volume key and you'll get full volume.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] macmeier:
Thanks, I'll try it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ghekua:
In my opinion live-wallpapers just make the battery drain fast as it run as background.

The reason i love this rom is this is very smooth and it have a closest look to what we all think ICS must look like (status widget, icon, sms, dialer are all blue - Ton Sur Ton).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HellRoot:
It works quite fast and no problems but the battery life is not optimal yet ....like it does not deep sleep ..it used 15percent during night ... my Xperia s rom used two percent tops
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mahmoodifar:
Hi

sorry for asking

what do you mean by " 7. Then flash it, Reboot and Enjoy " during the installation ?

how should I flash it ?:)

thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] daashali:
Best ICS ROM ever!!!!

Great Job man. The only problem I have is with the call volume which is not your ROM's problem.

You restored my faith in ICS !!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ej_424:
Thanks!

Thank you so much for this beautiful rom that is stable and snappy. I've tried all roms for the arc and this one is by far the best. Keep up the great work!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] goce.nakov:
Thanks

`Nice ROM mate, this ROM made me to unlock bootloader :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] macmeier:
I've installed the kernel from fxp116. The device seems to be even smoother than before.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HellRoot:
How is the battery drain?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] macmeier:
I just can't tell, because time is too short since installation. But I will have an eye on it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Dark Fable:
Does this ROM have WiFi direct ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Choose the file by pressing the home button, then confirm by pressing yes, and then after its flashed, reboot :)

Oh okay, I thought it was super smooth anyway :P? Just kidding ill update it to FXP 116 asap

Not atm as its only RC1 but ill try to add in next release ;)

Btw guys, I love all the positive comments really encouraging, thank you!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shinaipt99:
dinesh, could i make a suggestion? a friend of mine has a htc sensation running a rom called akosp and it has a great feature that is "rom control". it allows you to take full charge of it, you should take a look and make this rom epic :P
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Ill take a look into it :) Thanks for the suggestion, maybe for next major update i can include some new features but going to release RC1.5 with new FXP116 base and few new tweaks ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ritmasz:
Is this rom having same problems as FXP115, cause I had and few other people a ****ty music play with headphones, cause it sometimes starts twitching for no reason.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Mine doesn't, plays music very well epseically with DSP manager
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chding:
May I know wifi hotspot works fine in this ROM?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
I don't think that it does but Im sure itll be fixed soon :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] goce.nakov:
Headset Bug

Doesn't recognize the headset and it's keep playing music on speaker :(. I can leave without FM but this bug is.........
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
You sure you wiped everything when you flashed the ROM? I always use headset and I don't have this issue at all
[Xperia Arc Android Development] goce.nakov:
Yea I'm shure, I did data/factory wipe

1.Wipe

2.Flash ROM

3.Flash patches

3.Flash Gaps
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mariolcneto:
Are you sure pressing down the volume key fixes the volume issue??? It just didn't work for me... Any other suggestions???

Anyway, it's just the best rom I've tried so far... The only thing keeping me from sticking with it is the volume issue considering I get around 3h of talk time everyday!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Hmm dude, you got any apps interfering with the music player? No one else reported this and I am testing music through headset right now and its working flawlessly

And Im uploading new version of the ROM based on FXP116 so maybe low incall volume is fixed ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] goce.nakov:
Restart solved the problem :), I think spirit FM messed something, btw it didn't work so I deinstalled and restarted and headset is working OK, sryh for trouble
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Its okay, as long as you got it working ;)

OKAY GUYS, RC1.5 RELEASED, Changelog on post #2. Enjoy, leave feedback :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ej_424:
If coming from RC1 do you reccomend a full wipe or is cache and dalvik wipe good enough?

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shinaipt99:
will do :) any chance to have stock ics theme?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Full wipe is not required but will help, and you want apps in white style not Holo? Ill release a seperate zip for that but maybe a bit later, sorry a bit busy today:)

BTW GUYS, remember to ALWAYS flash new kernel ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] macmeier:
This problem isn't solved by pressing the volume key on my device, either.

Is this kernel related or a problem of the ROM?

Btw: after testing for a few hours I can strongly recommend fxp116-kernel. On my device it is really another step ahead. The arc feels much faster.

Battery consumption seems to be better than in fxp115. It is really sad, that the consumption informations in the settings are not available.

I love this ROM. Till now it is far the best I've seen. I even think about waiting with the buy of a nexus, which I planned this month...

Keep on the good work!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ej_424:
Thank dinesh, waiting for new kernel to be posted and then I'll do a full wipe :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Its a problem with the base CM9 Rom- one of the few problems but it may be fixed on latest FXP116 base? Test and see, and thank you :)

New kernel is up btw
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shinaipt99:
yes, i do like the stock theme. holo doenst work for me. thank you for your support!

also one thing i found is when having a call, the screen chops the picture. im using haxsync for facebook sync :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] KingWickedd:
Can we have the Stock Camera app on this rom Because we all know the camcorder isnt working right.. :confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shinaipt99:
So far so good... ultra fast and smooth :) just waiting for the stock theme and this is a rom to keep :D

Sent from my Xperia Arc S using BoostHD ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Hate having to repeat myself over and over :P Can't just simply put apk in the ROM and itll work because of Sonys special camera, but im sure that itll be implented into CM9 very soon :)

Btw Ill have a zip file for Stock ICS apps by tomorow I promise ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mariolcneto:
WIth the FXP116, pushing the volume down and then increasing it back up (while still in the call) makes the volume go back to normal...

NOW I'm sticking with ICS!!!

Thanks so much and keep up the great work!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shinaipt99:
Thanks, I will patiently wait :) another minor thing I found is when downloading the tab on status bar doesn't have the same colour as the window and the progress bar is yellow, not blue ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] goce.nakov:
I just want some kind of FM radio :) and nothing more
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
I felt bad for making you wait so I made a zip :) Go to post #2 addons section. Added Stock ICS whiteish theme. Enjoy dude :)

Wow, good that was a problem for me too, Enjoy!

Hope its implemented soon too ;) But going to have to use 3rd part radios such as Tunein for now dude, sorry
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Retardo25:
Is the kernel from 116 really new? It has the same tag as the last one in system information.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] goce.nakov:
I noticed that too :( kinda ugly, I like blue ICS theme
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shinaipt99:
Thank you so much for your support dinesh, I will become a certified tester for this rom ehehe
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Hey, this is due to the fact that the original FXP116 kernel was fault and was fixed by Adrianom by mixing FXP115 + FXP 116 so maybe tag is changed :) Obviously new kernel ;)

Hehe feedback always welcome :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sognare69:
i want this rom but i can´t access to recovery menu, can someone tellme how to access to recovery?

i try with

vol +

vol -

back button.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] goce.nakov:
Dinesh what about that yelow progress bar, can you fix it or is something that we must live with it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Hey, when on the FXP logo the LED will go a bright purpleish colour. press volume down a few times and youll be in recovery ;)

Ill release a fix once i see whats causing it but a bit sorry today sorry.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mariolcneto:
I got another question (Sorry about bothering you)...

I was using before this MIUI with BB36... I had a pretty good battery life on it considering I'm a really heavy user (games around 30 minutes a day, 2h of music playing, 4 gmail accounts with sync always on, twitter sync every 5 minutes, Facebook every 30, linkedin every 30 and around 2-3h of talk time as I said before)... My phone used to last from 22-24h/day...

On the MIUI I disabled fast dormancy on the build.prop... On yours, I can't find the dormancy system app using TB... Is it there? Will I get a better battery life if I disable it? I'm asking because I'm not even close to being a developer and I always get scared to add and remove lines on build.prop...

Do you have any advices on how to keep at least that battery time???

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] guille26:
I'm testing this rom right now, it seems pretty fast and smooth.

I will check battery consumption this night.

Stock camera app is quite bad compared to sony's and photo quality seems to me very bad. Correct me if I'm wrong. I would like to read other users opinions.

I also have noticed touch screen is not very sensitive, I have to press hard on the buttons, on sony's GB roms I pressed buttons just with a little touch anywhere on it.

Apex sometimes thinks I'm moving an icon when I'm really trying to open the contextual menu.

Also, can be disabled the camera "beep"?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Lol, first see if Dormancy is causing battery drain for you and reccomended base band is 64, 36 might work fine for you but thats that :) Apart from that just general switch off data/ wifi when required, use lower brightness. turn off auto sync etc :)

Yep, Stock camera isn't as good as Sony's but It still takes very good pictures. My touchscreen is very responsive actually but i can try too tweak it and make it more responsive for next release :). Erm there may be an option in the camera app settings, if not Im not the app dev :P
[Xperia Arc Android Development] morenoro:
Since I'm playing with cm9 and now with this fantastic version, I've tried a lot of alternative cams to try to get the quality from SE. Please give a chance to "CAMERA ZOOM FX" cause it's a very good alternative with great customization, effects and a great quality. Maybe with this I can forget the stock cam.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sognare69:
when i install this kernel not show me the led bright purpleish colour.

i have the baseband .64
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bbogdann:
What's the right procedure to flash the BB? Now I have 70 and I want to go back to 64, but my phone goes in endless booting.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ScarletBrazil:
Hello Developer,

Just stoping by to thank you for this masterpiece.

I have no money for now to donate to you, but, when i get it .. i will donate. You deserve it.

Take care!

---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 AM ----------

Use Flashtool to flash the desired baseband.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sognare69:
well i install the kernel but never my led on :(.

Someone help me please. my baseband is .64
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jfcc58:
Little "problem" with 1.5: when the onscreen buttons add-on is flashed, the phone gets into a bootloop. I have to pull the battery then.

Very good rom, thank you!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Juztapose:
lol, im looking for a good batery rom :D. waiting the stable version with hot spot and camera fixes. :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] macmeier:
Have you pressed the volume-down-button several times during booting? Do you see the fxp-logo when switching the device on?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Flash baseband with flashtool

baseband doesn't matter with kernel but you sure you flashed it correctly?

Wow okay I'll take a look at that. Thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bbogdann:
How to flash baseband correctly?

I have tried few times to revert back to 64 from 70 but my phone entered in a boot loop.

.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Dude did you look at what I just posted, flash with flashtool :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bbogdann:
I flashed it with flash tool.....few times...but same result :p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
I had similar trouble with BB-64 a while ago...

Try this instead:

- take a nandroid backup of your current build

- flash everything in the official ICS ftf

- flash the custom kernel, to get a recovery image

- restore the nandroid backup

This should give you a bootable image and BB-70.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bbogdann:
Now I am on 70...but I want to go back to 64....:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] LukynZ:
What's wrong with 70?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
Huh? Why?

I find 70 somewhat better: stronger and more consistent 3G signal, and we have the same carrier.

Well... to each his own, I guess.

Follow the same procedure but flash the .62 firware instead. Don't forget to flash from here, afterwards.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lynx_kings:
Snappy!

Best ICS Rom as of now!..

Expectation for next RC:

fixed camcorder

fixed wifi hotspot

bigger qwerty keyboard

more built-in apps

and more widgets like media shortcuts, music player.. etc..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kurnage:
Please don't flame me if this sounds like a stupid question but...

Can you flash the Facebook inside Xperia addon from another ICS rom into this?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sognare69:
Yes, i flash it correctly, i use another rom and with the another kernel i can access to recovery but with this kernel just see te fxp logo and i press several times the buttom But the led never on
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ritmasz:
So your rom is already supercharged? If I supercharge it again, will it reset your tweaks? Cause I want my launcher getting his bulletproof charge. :D

Also.. flash not working?
