[Xperia Arc General] Destroyedbeauty:
A lot of people out there thought that the Arc is the holy saviour among cellphone cameras, I was one of them. But the compression level and picture noise is uncomfortable to look at, it's better that Sony fix this problem and rewrites the camera drivers from start, or releases the camera library files so someone that's experienced on editing drivers (and related things) can fix this.

Otherwise, the Arc (S) is awesome as hell! And was better than ever with the ICS update.

[Xperia Arc General] harlz:
Sony won't bother fixing the drivers and compression, they know the problem exists but.failed to fix it. Apple got the software right ( 4s has the same sensor as the arc)
[Xperia Arc General] charlesfu4:
I agree with your opinion.

Now SONY have their more fashion , more powerful and even more purchased product--Xperia S or P nevermind

I think they won't put more emphasis on the 2011 Xperia series,and they might think that allowing us to update to ICS is the most "Great" thing they've ever done.

I think they won't care about us

cause there're still their new products which can replace 2011 Xperia series' status
[Xperia Arc General] Destroyedbeauty:
That's pathetic, just release the drivers in some editable file format, someone fixes the problem and upload it as an free camera application on Google Play Market - simple as that.

[Xperia Arc General] ~iPod~nano~:
manual ISO is depend on the camera driver...

but if i not mistaken, the iso is still can be set at low, med, high, but i dont know how to set this on arc...

i know this from old db SE phone like Aino and K850i
[Xperia Arc General] soumya_digi:
But here there is no editable camdriver0.dat to control the camera. :p Old SE phones were really great for modding. :(
[Xperia Arc General] maRRRco89:
in your opinion Sony will not release a new build with bugfix.

Sony can't fail in video and photo, is its principal sector :mad::mad:.

Already bad photos, now also choppy video, is terrible, in this way who will have more faith in Sony? me not absolutely.
[Xperia Arc General] harlz:
I agree with that. I was looking forward to getting the Xperia S but after seeing a photo comparison review on Recombu iv changed my mind. This Arc s could possibly be my last Sony phone unless a future phone has completely rewritten camera software.
[Xperia Arc General] Lusterboi:
anybody else experienced a limit on video record time? i dont know if it was always there but it seems like it only lets me record up to a minute and it stops itself.
[Xperia Arc General] stirkac:
macro seems to work just fine for me? even if it shows red rectangle like it's not focused shots turn out to be just as clear (if not even better) than the ones with green rectangle..

what bothers me more is that stupid 100ANDRO folder. what is wrong with Camera like any other android device?
[Xperia Arc General] Qwerty123 \m/:
After Someone should make an online petition i tell you

So that SONY releases the required files :/

A petition forced ASUS to release an unlock tool for the PRIM afaik

So this should work, getting 15000+ votes should not be difficult

Someone recognized in the forums ie DoomLord is perfect for kick starting the petition

Inboxed him :)

I mean Android is open sourced so SONY "should" release the "required camera files" right ?
[Xperia Arc General] davigar:
In my opinion, ICS take very good photos but the videocamara sucks.
[Xperia Arc General] Destroyedbeauty:
The JPEG compression is horrible, and so the post processing of pictures. Zoom in on your snapped photos with the Arc (or any other Xperia 2011 model or the Xperia S) and you'll see what I mean.

Which ICS rom has optimal camera performance? I mean at least as good as GB? If no one what to do to make it better?
[Xperia Arc General] robyx883:
my arc, more times, lag during video recording after ics update.... i hate this! :mad:
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
Disable stabilisator and videos will be smooth again
[Xperia Arc General] whyparch:
How about photos? JPEG thing, Mpx? Does stock ICS or any twicked ROM take as good pictures as GB?
[Xperia Arc General] charlesfu4:
what does stabilisator mean??
[Xperia Arc General] harlz:
Stabiliser is the image stabilisation setting in the camera. You can turn it on or off. Personally, Sony should have never released this stuttering issue when the image stabilisation is on. That was a great feature.

Overall disappointed in the camera and video quality even with the modded camera apk.
[Xperia Arc General] Kriomag:
no no no... i tried that, also my brother tried that with his neo v after update to ics.. still very glitchy and laggy videos! i think sony want us to buy new phones so they made ics to work so slow that you want to throw your phone in to the wall.... :( but im not so naive, i just flashed back to GB (.69) and i have again the fastest phone (with smooth videos without lag!) :D
[Xperia Arc General] todditedude:
Very disappointed with the ICS release from Sony. How the hell can they expect us to put up with rubbishy camera and videos after they were excellent in 2.3.4

I really had high expectations for ICS, but after just 24 hours I rooted my arc S just to try a custom rom and pray for something slightly better. Hopefully things can only can better.

As we the paying public, should demand to Sony, "Sort it out Guv, or we'll have your guts for garters". Its the least we can expect from them to sort out.
[Xperia Arc General] jtc42:
I'm upset because since ICS the camera seems to have an addiction to really high ISO pictures. There's no way to manually change it either. Lots of noise compared to GB :(
[Xperia Arc General] harlz:
Download camera_fv from the play store. Allows you to choose iso, long shutter speed and can shoot in png. File sizes are about 12mb and higher. It claims it's raw data. It does have better quality than the stock camera.
[Xperia Arc General] qsacage:
Actuallly, I think video on highest resolution is a bit choppy even with anti-shake off. At least when you record over a minute.
[Xperia Arc General] groudonzcy:
i could not find any different between 2.3.4&4.0.3.

the camera apk is same one ,do you think so ?:(
[Xperia Arc General] Xperia-Ray:
I have played with this app, not rely good. The ISO settings not working for us because there is no support in the drivers.

The PNG format is the same quality as Jpeg and its already processed (strong noise redaction, low detail etc...) . And the long exposure is night_scene and short is sport scene.

For lower ISO use party scene. It's for indoor photos. And you can try my modded apk for better quality.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sypris:
So this looks promising. Anyone used this for their phone? The only thing that worries me is the 2.1a output. Will the 3D throttle it down to the 1.5a (or 1.0a, I don't remember what the max is) or will I fry my phone/battery?

http://www.scosche.com/consumer-tech/product/2318

I'm thinking about coupling this with a car dock.
[HTC EVO 3D] bitslizer:
I use my HP Touchpad 2A charger to charge my Evo 3D and according to batter monitor widget my charge rate max out at 1100ma, usually in the 900s

there's also a VERY VERY similar charger by Griffin, Powerjolt Dual Micro that's been out forever, that one output 1A per port only, beware that majority of the Ebay one are counterfeit but it work just fine, Frankly i have a legit griffin (from best buy) and a fake ebay one, and I seem to think the ebay one give me a better charge!
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Seems like an overpriced car phone charger.

I couldn't find it on their sites but what is the point of the app?
[HTC EVO 3D] Sypris:
Sosche makes a good product and I like the LED on it. It's there but not overbearing and doesn't seem to be blinding for night driving like the yellow ring on my Sprint charger (before it burned out).

No idea on the app but I like the charger because of how discreet it is. Plus I need one with 2 ports and a 2 port one from Sprint is around 35 bucks last I checked, and they're chunky.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Here is one for $4 free shipping....

http://m.dealextreme.com/p/car-cigarette-powered-dual-usb-adapter-charger-for-ipod-dc-12-24v-48029

Buy two in case you think one will fail lol. Also it outputs the same amount of current.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lownignitus:
So im looking to start playing with my stock rom. I have safestrap. I want to be able to get the stock bionic rom on my safe side. I know that you cannot use your unsafe recovery image to flash into your safe side. Causes a black screen that acts like you didnt flash a thing. I know unsafe works still as eclispe and axiom will flash and run.

What i want is a completely stock bionic rom (2.3.4 and ether 902 or 904 compatble) so that i can start playing with it. Id rather not mess with the unsafe stock just in case ( knock on wood).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
i think as close as you are going to get is the kin3x rom link are hard to find as well...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lownignitus:
Sigh thank you for the reply. Guess ill go digging thru cyberspace now for that rom
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sammyservices:
Hi ! Two months ago tried this rom and tried again last week.

Nice except when phone is powered off and when I charge it the phone wakes up and boots up by on its own ! So I could not close the phone and charge it overnight but instead was forced to keep it on !

Bit of a pain ! Anyone can answer as to why this happens ? Thanks !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AvonBark$dale:
Hey guys, I have found most of the info I need, but am still left with a few questions after going through the forums. Maybe I am getting old, but I don't want to take it apart if I can't put it back together, so to speak.

What I want to do, is root my Rogers Galaxy Note without tripping the flash counter, which I learned is to:

Use Odin to flash CWR, and then reboot and install superuser from sd card. No problems so far, that seems simple. The problem I have is with restoring it to full stock. If I perform the above mentioned steps, do I need to flash a custom image? How would I remove CWM and superuser? Would I need to flash back to my stock ROM, and then my stock bootloader? Also, how do make a backup of my Rogers stock ROM/kernel? I read that the existing one has a Telus splash screen.

I found this thread, but the member implies to use titanium backup....wouldn't that back up a rooted ROM?

And this one says you can't make image unless you are rooted. How would I be able to go back to full stock?
[General Questions and Answers] chikizmendez:
Can anyone send me a link for the trinity td16 kernel if it exists I was reading about it but theirs not inough information I would really apreciate any type of anser .... is for my lg g2x
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicksonjoe:
I've noticed there aren't many sharp phone threats and roms here on xda. Why is that? is it because no one uses this branded japanese phone??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseus:
That's because they are next to impossible to unlock - unless they are newer DoCoMo Android phones, which you can have unlocked officially. And also because you cannot install your own modded version of Android.

Root access for Sharp Androids, although people have been working for almost two years now, is still temporary (permanent for a couple of models but still unstable) and you can't even disable the bloatware that the carrier installed without fear of bricking your phone.

Other than that, Sharp phones are absolutely fantastic :D

Going to try it out after the download, and thank you for all your hard work on making a good rom.

have you been able to make it switch networks

I mean if you've been able to add network mode.

is just so when throttled, switching apn's help alot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] morehush:
Can't thank you enough, Mohan. Embryo 1.0 was the best UCALC4 rom I ran. I'm sure 2.0 will be even better!

Where the weather widget?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] capita:
Testing his baby out. Liking it a lot so far. Small issue, Fc when trying to set weather on lock screen under display settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Added all the weather widgets I could find as an CWM zip in the OP (see attachments)..This should enable that for you folks.

I will not be able to check back till later tonite..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] artbybart:
CWM & Modem

Hey mohan, thank you for your hardwork. Couple of questions, since I haven't tried your rom yet:

1. I'm using CWM 5.0.2.6, will the current version work or do I need to upgrade it? What do you recommend?

2. I'm using "first" ICS leak with UCALC4 modem, will I need to flash your rom plus the radio, or just your rom (since the modem is already incorporated in it)?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
* Not sure about CWM 5.0.2.6. I use the 5.5.0.4 here.

* If you install this ROM. Then you can flash the radio afterwards, the link is there for UCLD2. Next few days, I will create zips for backing out various radios..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] midgetzombiekiller:
Love this rom! Awesome work!:cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raider03:
aah you got the toggle mod working thank you!

Kernel (UCLD2) is included.

I will provide a separate zip for UCLD2 modem (later).

Debloated with care. (Let me know if you need specific APKS, I need good battery life, hence had to purge a bunch of things).

zipaligned

The usual busybox, ChainFire SU (superuser), bash.

Tethering Support, both HotSpot and USB.

Call Recording. (replaces Add Call Button)

15 toggle mod (PORTED from Wanam ROM, thanks wanam).

Circle battery.

Titanium Backup

Bunch of other tweaks..will update...

Please NO themeing requests, at least not right now.

Man you beat me to it i almost had it working but I messed up something because my SystemUI kept crashing! LOL... can I use this on my rom if you don't mind? THANKS!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tonyfiore75:
Everything is working well for me except that there is still a problem setting homescreen wallpaper. Obviously not a huge deal as I just use WSS. Just thought I'd mention it. Thanks so much for all of your hard work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] latinohot:
I'm glad the native tethering app now works as it should, thank-you chef
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] artbybart:
Looking good!

So far so good, got a bit bumpy on the way but got there eventually! I flashed cwm touch (took couple of attempts before getting it right) then flashed the rom then the modem. During the initial bootup process, it got hung up at the "Android" sign. Went back into cwm and reflashed the rom and modem then it booted up all the way.

1. I restored using tibu and looks good so far.

2. I also installed apex launcher (kinda like it more than tw launcher).

REQUEST: any chance you can add options for "Recovery" and "Download" in the extended menu? That would be awesome!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tonyfiore75:
One other minor and somewhat insignificant thing I've noticed since installation (and since fixing permissions and all that):

- The phone does not make an unlock sound upon unlocking (even when that feature is chosen in System Settings--> Sound--> Screen lock sound

Just thought I'd mention it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
* Wallpaper: yeah I left out that apk..will post the apk later.

* Sounds: You have to crank up the Volume for System Sounds. It is working for me..will have to triage that...if not so. Also, you shouldn't have to do fix permissions, I have carefully recrafted the permissions and also I have no idea what the Fix Permissions in the recovery does, hopefully it didn't mess things up :).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] latinohot:
Update...

...My phone is now network mode unlockable, thank-you chef.

Now all I need is to find a voice dialer that would be bluetooth enabled.

Did u ever get contacts in the dialer by any chance?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] avkrules:
Got my day on the notification tray.

Day in the notification tray.

Which was I request I sent to Mohan!!

Which is awesome, since I don't use the lock screen for date.

haha

Use VLINGO

It's free, it works. It does bluetooth + voice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orionl:
Great work Mohan!

I love your Embryo Roms, always fast, smooth, and excellent battery life!

One quick question though, is anyone else having issues with restart/shutdown freezing up like in the original ICS leak?

I didn't have this issue in Embryo 2.1. I cleaned the cache, formatted data and system, and cleared the dalvik cache. Reinstalled 3 times, and still have the issue. :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] latinohot:
no issues with that here.

maybe you should wipe 3 times everything, that's what I do
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chappatti:
You HAVE to wipe ??? Arrrggghhh......

What the heck, mohan you ROMs are super ! I said a while ago you are a very careful bloke, and much appreciated !!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jose makalolot:
I'm just asking if your rom completes such actions. I didn't say it is required by your rom.

Getting FC on temple run. On old version and today's update. Fix permissions did not work. Was working on all other roms so must be something specific to the setup of this one. Trying to diagnose why.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Do you mean screen or wallpaper? Screen, I will provide an add-on later.

I cannot replicate this behavior with either the UCALC4 and UCLD3 nor I have seen it, so you would need to provide some data points.

Thanks, this is a bug. Looks like Sammy didn't include the necessary program. I will probably disable these options..

I think I mentioned, I will have to run it and see if it makes any difference.

Sorry bud, I did not want to risk an update with framework files changes..

Maybe I misread your questions, sorry. It sounded like you were asking if anyone tried..no the rom is constructed *exactly* the way the stock looks including all permissions..

Hmm..It is not FC'ing here..see attached thumbnails..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tstaiano:
LOVE this ROM package...installed yesterday & smooth as butter so far.

I've used Seanz ROMs mostly, with a smattering of others for an occasional change & must say that yours is the only one that comes close.

The only aesthetic change/option I'd ask for is a clear lock screen option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hexaemeron:
Or just AOSP lockscreen would be a huge improvement.

as with all ICS leaks, the tethering crashes after use and that is the ONLY issue

this rom is amazing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
This is an easy one, I will probably provide this as an add-on.

Can you describe the exact steps? Yeah the toggle is wanam based it is little buggy from updating the state, but the only toggle is the "Data" one as described in the FAQ. I cannot seem to replicate the lock one, though

Can you PM me? As I need info on your exact steps, DONT use ultracfg or any other non-sense, and enabled it via settings...see the faq. Because I don't want to generalize it for all ICS roms, i have removed all checks..maybe there is something I missed..but I use hour at a time or however long my meetings are..so I need to know what you mean by "after use"..
