Sirkay's kernel is really great (performance, smooth and battery wise).

Apex Launcher is the best ICS Launcher I think, that's what I prefer.

When I playing music little bit battery drain. Music app is: Apollo (included this ROM)

Can you help me, what is a good music app?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kistigun:
Poweramp!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
It's natural for there to be a little extra usage of battery when listening to Music but I would recommend poweramp or playerpro which have free versions and paid
[Xperia Arc Android Development] duong_duc2002:
Anyone experience the battery life of this ROM?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] soumya_digi:
Will be testing tonight with MIUI kernel by SaOSsinX..

I'm using CM9 Music player.. Better than Apollo at this moment..More features will be introduced to Apollo later..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tw1tterik:
On AOKP-rom for a few days now, using CM9 kernel... Gotta say, this rom is really amazing! No FC's, everything works.. Never used HDMI or wifi-hotspot so don't miss that shizzle... Battery life with CM-kernel is poor.. Getting max 8hrs out of it, don't mind it tho'.. Got chargers everywere. And i'm an heavy user. Gonna try Xarc-kernel for a few days now and compare battery-life.. Loving my Arc again! My ****ty single-core phone is amazing again!

Can anyone help me step by step instruction to flash this rom.

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

I have rooted the phone.

But i would like to know if i have to unlock the Bootloader.

If so can anyone help me step by step how to unlock the bootloader and flash this rom
[Xperia Arc Android Development] goce.nakov:
Unlock your boot loader,flash kernel via flashtool , factory reset and wipe caches,flash the ROM via CWM,done
[Xperia Arc Android Development] batwingnz:
I originally installed it fxp124 kernel, and it runs fine and lasts all day for me. However, having heard good things about sirkays I gave it a try and would not boot or enter recovery, back to fxp124 and works again.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tw1tterik:
Sirkay has two versions, you downloaded the AOKP version?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] guille26:
I have it too.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] batwingnz:
Yeah i did, checked filename before flashing to be certain.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tw1tterik:
Perhaps the download was broken? Not facing any problem what so ever and I did the same thing as you did...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] batwingnz:
Not too worried, thanks for response.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Is there a way to have the Radio working? Last night I wanted to listen to a couple of radio stations through FM and just noticed that there isn't an app in the AOKP Rom. Is there something we can do?

(Since I was home I eventually listened to the radio via TuneIn Radio which streams via WiFi)

+1 Here.

I don't care really much though since I see great battery life with sirkay's kernel and the ROM.

I don't have a problem booting into CWM Recovery either. Try to download and flash sirkay's XArc AOKP kernel again.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tomatos:
Yesterday I charged the phone. 36% -> 95% that was worked. But morning the battery is 65%, why? I see the Battery Monitor Pro. 1% battery drain 10-20 minutes. :( Restarting the phone. The battery drain not going to hell :(

I going to home after work flashing back to Arconium :(

Another question:

Yesterday tested I the radio with Sony radio app, but I can't installed the app. Any solution for the radio?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Babis_ECE:
- Try a Battery Calibration and Wipe cache and dalvic cache.

- I am looking for a Radio app as well.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tomatos:
Ok thank you for the answer.

How can I install the radio app. Yesterday I copied to the /system/app but does'nt working then i probe install but phone can't. :( I restarted the phone but in app drawer not show the app. :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mechmetal:
hi,supervenom is it possible to add Bravia Engine & Xloud from fxp in the next build :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Radio apk most likely depends on SE framework (which obviously is not present in AOKP)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Babis_ECE:
That would be really great. +1 :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AzharYusri:
Anyone know where to get themes for this rom?

also you can use play store for themes
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AzharYusri:
It worked on my arc s
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bobhobelman:
On what phone you're trying it?

It's working fine here. Only the touchscreen in recovery is not working for me. I'm on a SE Arc. It feels a little smoother then the FXP kernel for me.

Used this one from Sirkay's thread.

Edit:

There are some errors, wifi had a problem and could not play some games. I'm back on to 124, but booting is not a issue for me.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thuanngotau:
So the Thread name should be modified? ARC/S AOKP?:)

BTW, I flashed RC1 but sth wrong with my Camera! No preview at all (screen totally black)!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tomatos:
Flash the FIX ZIP. You found that on the first post!

Does anyone know is "beats audio" will make a difference in the music we can here from our Arc?

I saw this Thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1525226 and thought about installing it. Has anyone tested it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] batwingnz:
Wifi won't connect anymore, to any network, didn't change anything just always looping connecting or says avoided poor connection,
[Xperia Arc Android Development] goce.nakov:
That is the problem which appears after while on almost every CM based ROM, that's why I changed to JJ's Hybrid
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Try and reflash the kernel and WiFi Modules. Maybe it will help.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] batwingnz:
Hmm if its common then the ROM's not going to be for me. A shame since AOKP has been the best most customisable ROM i've used to date... Wonder why something that works for days suddenly just "breaks"
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kistigun:
well i'm running CM9 bassed ROM's for while now on my arc and my tf101 and i've never encountered any wifi problems
[Xperia Arc Android Development] goce.nakov:
I was on BoostHD which was also CM 9 FXP 116 based ROM and after 3-4 day's I encountered the same problem as user described.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mechmetal:
What Kernel are you using?

Try using FXP 124 kernel as the wifi modules were taken from their ROM in the current Build 38 So,you need this kernel i think....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Supervenom:
On tuesday i'll update.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thuanngotau:
Thank you for the announcement, bro!:cool:

BTW, sometime when I turn off the screen, it show the black screen but with dim backlight?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] batwingnz:
Thanks for advice, I am already using fxp124 kernel, so I won't re flash modules as was earlier suggested.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lovemyarc:
Sorry but from where can I download Wi-Fi modules?

Its impossible to connect to any network with hidden SSID. Every time I press the save button, settings fcs :(

Ιf you are using AOKP Kernel, give sirkay's XArc AOKP kernel a try, it is really great:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Babis_ECE:
1) Thank you for your answer Marchello1. I don't see an "allandroid.zip" though. Which one should I download and flash?

2) My internal memory is getting full. Is there a script in AOKP for automated SD Card mount for Apps2SD?

In CM7 you just partitioned the SD Card and it was ready to work.

Should I do anything else? I was about to start using Link2SD again, but it is a bit of a hassle to set it up.

Any simple guide to set the whole system running?

(formating, mounting, transfering apps)

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mechmetal:
@Babis_ECE

Try the attached file...(Use good headphones to fell the effect and it also depends on your perception this is what i hear about beats)

As far as creating an SD-ext partition and managing apps in it,can be easily done using Link2SD.Here is good guide to get started :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jejeh:
Yes install link2sd isn't difficult to setup.

Thank you for your help, I will install and try it right away. I have really good headphones (Sony MDR-V700DJ) and been working as a DJ for some years now, so I think I will be able to spot if there's any real difference. :)

I will try to setup Link2SD by following the guide. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shinaipt99:
Would love to try using this rom on a daily basis but its impossible... when I change phone language to my own (Portuguese), the toggles for Wi-Fi and bt in settings get all messed up and the dictionary (auto-correction) is not available. Also, when using themes, the toggles in drawer get messy.

So my verdict is that this rom is still a bit buggy, unfortunately :/

[Xperia Arc Android Development] kormatoes:
So my verdict is that this rom is still a bit buggy, unfortunately :/

Shame you feel this was this is a great rom about using themes they do state that they may not be comparable with your device
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shinaipt99:
I'm just reporting my experience and nothing else.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Babis_ECE:
With Greek Language I had the same thing bug with toggles too. Try this though: Change the way Toggles are shown from ROM Control Settings. Use the "just icons" option. For me it worked, and with Vivid CM9/AOKP Theme it just looks awesome. :)

Unfortunately I think we'll always have some bugs since Arc/ArcS isn't officialy supported by the AOKP Team.

Maybe you can consider using plain CM9.

@supervenom: Waiting for Build 39...! :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thuanngotau:
This ROM + XArc AOKP v1.1.431 kernel by sirkay is great combination! You should try!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Supervenom:
ROM updated!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shinaipt99:
Hey! Thanks for the answer. I guess Greek and Portuguese have things in common these past months eheh. Anyway... do you have auto correction on keyboard or did you have to manually add the dictionary? Do the toggles get themed also? I remember doing that switch from icon to text and they wouldn't get aligned nor themed.

Should I skip the Full Wipe step when updating from RC1 to RC2? Thks!

It's always better to do a full wipe.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Yes we do, hope it gets better in time for both our countries. :)

I use SwiftKey for keayboard, and it has a greek plugin.

Yes, the toggles get themed too. Try it out. Mine are alligned just fine.

Off to install Build 39! :cool: Thank you supervenom.

Tried FXP kernel and wifi was fixed, but still no bt..

Also in input languages I see no Greek..

Damn, I really liked this ROM, it's very very fast..

bt and wifi will be eventually fixed, but I also need greek input language.

Do you think that it can be added?

AOKP is based in CM9

i think CM9 kernels

boot.img included in da AOKP_rom.zip
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Supervenom:
Ok, from what I've read, flash FXP CM9 Kernel to have wifi working. Can someone post a boot logcat? For bluetooth, in next release it will be fixed. In fact, thanks to jjdoctor I have the fix.

how about battery drains...?

- "Running Apps" Tab working now.

- ROM's Weather working correctly and shown in lockscreen.

- Last used / Running Apps shown when you hold home button now shown like ICS style (cards you can swype) and not like the old GB way.

- Toggles shown correctly eithere style you choose. (Very happy for this one. :) )

Any news about implementation of Linaro Tweaks into the next build of aokp rom?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thuanngotau:
So let press the known button! :D

BTW, what is this link for? RC2 is awesome!!! :cool:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sminki:
from: http://aokp.co/index.php/releases/_/build-39-r25

These builds do NOT include the new Linaro optimizations. The optimizations don't increase the speed of Android by 100%, nor do they inject butter. They use a newer toolchain to compile Android, which has more optimizations. The Linaro people have also made the proper changes in Android code to allow builds to be compiled with -O3 instead of -O2 flags (think of it as another pass of code optimizations).

Please do not ask us whether we will include them in the future. We like speed as much as the next guy, but we want to make sure that it doesn't break ANYTHING. When/if it's ready, you'll know.

:p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Supervenom:
I have compiled my ROM for Play with Linaro. Next build also for ARC will be compiled even with Linaro toolchain.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] DjayZiro:
Hey guys, some time ago, i just quit lame ICS roms and converted myself to a AOKP fan.

RC1 was available at the time and everyone was talking diamonds about Sirkay's kernel (which is more than fair, nice work sirkay). everything was nice and smooth.

now, with the release of RC2, i decided to do a full fressh install so i've flashed 431.ftf, flashed latest sirkay's AOKP kernel and flashed RC2 (with cam fix and gapps)

now what happens is that WIFi works for the first moments, hours, but after some time it starts ignoring networks claiming that they are weak connections... and i'm just beside the router....

i did not try the rom's supplied kernel because i intend to keep using sirkay's (unless someona advise me not to).

Anyone experienced the same behaviour?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Flash the Stock WiFi modules for ICS, sirkay mentions it in its Thread.

I believe that will solve your problem. WiFi works great with latest AOKP Kernel and Rom. ;)
