Hi,

is panorama mode working on fxp 150 cm 10?
[Xperia Arc General] pharix:
They are not giving jelly bean update for 2011 line is nothing about hardware but it is about business.
[Xperia Arc General] rec71:
No. I don't think we will ever get a working panorama. I even tried the "ICS Camera+" app from Google Play and this has the same issue. It must be something with the Sony camera driver.
[Xperia Arc General] bura:
thanks for the answer!
[Xperia Arc General] littlejoelgriffo:
Hey bura, I'm currently working on a new JB ROM for Xperia arc and arc s called "Racing Bean". Its basically a really awesome version of fxp's cm10. Its got lots of features including:

- camera ics

- a made-by-Sony panorama beta app that works

- lots of speed improvements

- choice between cm10 and Xperia launcher

- heaps more I can't be bothered end to say ;)

Eta: within next two weeks :D
[Xperia Arc General] HerrJuancho:
It would be awesome if it were also really smooth. Hope you get it done soon :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Arc General] caqo71:
Is it possible that you use CM10.1 as a source?
[Xperia Arc General] littlejoelgriffo:
I'd prefer not to since that would make the not working list huge. I think everyone would prefer a 4.1 ROM that's completely stable and fully working with 5 or so 4.2 apps.

My aim is to create the fastest, smoothest, battery friendly and feature-full ROM for Xperia arc/s. 4.1.2 is ideal because its so damn fast already without tweaking and everything works except HDMI.
[Xperia Arc General] deadman3000:
I've been playing with Team EOS preview build of 4.2.1 on my TF101 and it's pretty slick. I guess the problem with the Arc and Arc S FW is it's for us to wait on CM team to make a stable and fully working 10.1 build before it's even worth thinking about porting it across. I am still on a Hybrid 3.1 build of ICS and really don't want to make the jump to JB until I can get a really great and up to date ROM. The time it takes to get all your stuff back to how it was even with backups is too much for me until then.
[Xperia Arc General] skullkrusher:
I think Milestone1r1 is much stable.. even I use Fusion Kernel v4.0 or v4.1.. For now I'm using FXP150 kernel.. and it's stable too... No FC, video playback awesome even I play 720p movies with size 5GB. Wifi and tethering all fine. Thumbs up!!!:good:
[Xperia Arc General] littlejoelgriffo:
Okay! You guys requested it. Racing Bean is ready for testing!

Features:

- Based on the latest Cm10 release by Fxp

- Gapps included

- Supercharged, adrenaline boosted, sysctl tweaked and zipaligned.

- Beats Audio

- A camera with 6mp 16:9 photos and 720p video

- Deleted a few junk apps

- Mass Storage Mode

- A working panorama app by Sony Ericsson.

- Adfree built into system (no Adfree app, no ads)

- My very own vast collection of tweaks for a far better experience

- Choice between Cm10's Aosp home launcher or good old Xperia Home

- Nexus 4 boot animation

- Surprisingly battery friendly, lasting more than 2 days with 5 and a half hours of screen on time

- A nice sleek background to a few dark themed apps like Settings and TB.

- Deleted a lot of poor message, ringtone and alarm tones and added the good old Sony Ericsson ones for easier picking on tones. (Thanks Hotfingers)

- Far better Ram consumption, up to 223mb free and amazing multitasking

- Android 4.2 keyboard, Google Play Music and Gmail app with pinch to zoom. (Thanks SafariKing)

- Very Stable with HDMI being the only bug and rarely any FCing

- Absolutely blazingly fast. With this ROM the Xperia Arc S has outperformed several dual core devices with a 6492 score in Antutu Benchmark. Perhaps the fastest rom available for Xperia Arc and Arc S.

If you want to be a tester, please click the thanks button on this post and pm me.

My thoughts exactly. As long as we've Android 4.0, we've basically got all the features we need to future-proof our phones for the time being. All of the 4.1 and 4.2 goodies, although neat, are pretty much frivolous. 4.0 is more than enough for our phone. The only reason I'd be whining about our phone to Sony right now would be if we were held back on 2.3. But 4.0 is adequate enough for our trusty ol' XDA developers to extract the kernel and come up with their own ROMs. Look on the bright side, at least you've got Cyanogenmod 10 and 10.1 keeping us up to date with the newest version of Android.

On that note, people seriously need to stop whining about Sony's lack of updates. This happens with virtually every single manufacturer/carrier out there. You should be grateful of the fact that they at least gave us free bootloader unlocks. (Although, ironically enough, my phone was one of the few that couldn't be unlocked without the testpoint method. But that's besides the point, damnit! xD)

Personally i'd never go back to JB.

Nothing runs as fast as 2.3.4 (0.42) with the advanced stock kernel for me, everything opens amazingly fast, even my gallery with 2.500 pictures
[Xperia Arc General] caqo71:
if so, try arconium 8.2 GB (4.0.2.A.0.69) ROM, or Cm 7.2... you'll fly. :cowboy:
[Xperia Arc General] jtdc:
i wonder if any jellybean rom can match up to arconium 8.2 on arc. we all know the ics roms cannot keep up.
[Xperia Arc General] caqo71:
Well, since SONY is not interested in bringing more power to old phones, and, they're not interested in released camera and HDMI drivers, it's only possible from third party developers, but with limited sony functions.

Even, I think that at this time, sony is more dedicated to kill all 2011 and half of 2012 lines of Phones, than selling the new 2012-2013 kind of phones. That's a shame, but sony will do the most to avoiding people upgrade they 2011 line of phones... they need that those phones die quickly to sell new ones. Never expect some kind of help from sony.

Last firmware update to ICS was just a bad joke, they just recompile the .578 with newer Wifi libs, nothing more. :rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc General] Sdamaceno:
hey guys, I'm using Smart Xperia ROM, Android 4.2.1, and my Xperia Arc S, Lt18a is running better and faster than GB or ICS....
[Xperia Arc General] armutyus:
maybe GB is faster and smoother than ICS or JB. But i don't want to down to GB since i use ICS/JB mixed ROMs on this forum. Someone choose "RAM, Speed etc" someone choose "functionality, visuality etc.". I choose second :laugh: because some apps or features i like on ICS/JB is not compatible with GB. GB is boring for me, i love ICS/JB :D
[Xperia Arc General] deadman3000:
Is that really JB 4.2.1 though or fake?
[Xperia Arc General] jtdc:
I am one who chooses "RAM, Speed etc" so i stick with Gingerbread. granted, ICS and JB is visually and functionally better, but it is not optimal for Arc. Those visual and functional addons, is helped by various apps, which render GB an equal, or even better.
[Xperia Arc General] the-unknown:
would there be a port from 2012 phones to 2011 phones? i'm hoping, that there would an stock based rom for my pro.
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
I have no problems with RAM lately with FXP152 CM10. Just watch out which apps you use. I removed Swiftkey because it used 70MB RAM, only have one simple clock widget, etc. On boot there's 150MB free ram.
[Xperia Arc General] littlejoelgriffo:
While 150mb is OK, on stock rom and kernel without rooting(so all bloatware enable) i saw GB get 245mb. I've never tried a custom GB rom or kernel but I can image they'd have even more free ram.
[Xperia Arc General] soumya_digi:
Well talking about free RAM:

Coz free RAM is too mainstream. :p
[Xperia Arc General] SammiSaysHello:
I think you need a new phone :cowboy:
[Xperia Arc General] littlejoelgriffo:
Good effort. Applaud to you sir :thumbup: :good:
[Xperia Arc General] soumya_digi:
I'll be getting one, but not because of this. Phone was pretty smooth honestly, or else I wouldn't have been able to take the screenshot. :laugh:

Feels like a sir! :cool:
[Xperia Arc General] the-unknown:
nobody who can answer my question? :confused:
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
unlikely, 2012 phones have other cpu's etc. There's nothing in common.
[Xperia Arc General] the-unknown:
thank you for your answer. i thought already that there won't be stock based jelly roms :(
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
Why stock if I may ask? You can get a Sony theme for CM10, many Sony apps have been ported to AOSP ROMs. Only thing that's missing is HDMI and some small stuff.
[Xperia Arc General] majid_one:
i don't think come jelly bean stock rom for Arc s :eek:
[Xperia Arc General] the-unknown:
its the sym key. and its difficult with the umlaut (öäü). i really like cm10, but that are things why i now use stock based ICS
[Xperia Arc General] jtdc:
wtheck... now this one i can say, really maximizes Arc... even the battery! haha
[Xperia Arc General] kAcA.:
HAHA! Good one, sir :thumbup:

[Xperia Arc General] popthosegaskets:
You can try... The Xperia T's system dump was released not to long ago... If someone wanted to make an "official" stock JB Rom for Arc S, you can probably start there.
[Xperia Arc General] fudg:
Not for 2011 Xperia
[Xperia Arc General] ajebulon:
CM10 is good enough to taste the jelly bean for arc s :p
[Xperia Arc General] entravink:
yes i think so...

2011 line do not receive JB update that just a marketing strategy..

why? bcos sony wants us to buy another new phone if we want JB on HH, :p

I'd like to see a stock based JB ported to Arc rather using CM10 or FXP based.. Those have so many bugs or they lag alot.. :eek:
[Xperia Arc General] Stevan Dj:
guyz u can try JB 4.2 thought CM10.1 But it doesnt have HDMI and BT
[Xperia Arc General] syam7863:
If u must have Jelly Bean, CM10 is ggod enough :D

But U have to live without HDMI (for now)

I am waiting for Xperia S to be updated to JB, so that it can be ported to Arc and hopefully a working HDMI

(T and Z have MHL)
[Xperia Arc General] gpkumaran:
You`ll have to lose HDMI + the Beauuutiful STOCK camera app and libs of ARC S
[Xperia Arc General] singh_21:
CM10 camera is way behind , there are many ROMS available having good camera, but stock camera is best
[Xperia Arc General] Longch:
just try Jelly bean through Lightning CM 2.0

Smooth but not stable :-?
[Xperia Arc General] rjmayhem:
What is the best JB rom for Arc s? I mean best for gaming ....... I heard Super Jelly Bean is good for gaming ... but maybe some of you know a better one..
[Xperia Arc General] om22:
no comparison of roms, kernels or other developer works allowed on xda. i suggest you flash some JB roms and find out by your own ;) Also with the kernels
[Xperia Arc General] xtrabit:
slim bean
[Xperia Arc General] Efka545:
Realy good rom Paranoid android, realy, smooth. Games like plans of zombies or world of goo work fine.

[ROM]Zelly Cream By: gagan.u20

check that, Im shocked what it work with new update 2.0
[Xperia Arc General] brayniak:
Zelly Cream yes this is fast rom but i recommended uhd 3.0 for games. For example on Zelly Cream game Vector doesnt work, on uhd 3.0 works perfectly :)
[Xperia Arc General] pradbitt17:
Yes, UHD 3.0 is nice, fast and stable, but it is still in Beta, not deodexed, and many nice tweaks missing(more of a stock), so probably u will have to wait for UHD 3.0 release.

I will say, go with UHD 2.0.3 with UHD Mod 2.4
[Xperia Arc General] ctinro:
LG did it! Officially!

lg-optimus-l3-ii-hands-on
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
On a new device. It is just becoming normal for an LG phone to receive NO updates. Even the flagship 4X HD has no sight on a jelly bean update. If they would just unlock the bootloaders, people could simply flash CM10, but they even refuse to do that.

My JB experience

I've tried paranoid android 2.5.7 and Slim Bean and I must say paranoid android is the rom for me.. A few sudden reboots does occur from time to time but that's something you have to live with.. I'm thinking of trying racing bean next but as for now I'm sticking to PA.
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
I think you have the CPU speed set up to high, resulting in too high power drawing and reboots.
[Xperia Arc General] Sufinator:
i sure hope they can port the xperia j jb rom to arc. would be awesome to have a stock based jb rom. i tried cm 10 and i don't like it

try custom Zelly Cream rom :good:
[Xperia Arc General] RecklessTurtle:
I'm on Racing Bean on my Arc (LT15i) for a few months now. Random reboots occur on this ROM as well. Battery consumption is not bad. With light-moderate usage, I can get 2 days. On the other hand, using GMaps or Sygic (offline navigation program) regularly causes random reboots. It's especially annoying when you are approaching to an intersection and suddenly your phone reboots :silly:

I am currently looking for a more stable ROM+Kernel.
[Xperia Arc General] littlejoelgriffo:
Please read the FAQ on my rom's thread. Also, you could be on fusion v4.5. It was uploaded and then taken down after 2 days to due to instability. So revert to 4.4 if you are on 4.5.
[Xperia Arc General] RecklessTurtle:
My comment was not intended to criticize your ROM mate. I'm just sharing my experience. I've read the FAQ and knew about the Fusion 4.4 so I downloaded that kernel. As far as I can see, under moderate load, there are no issues. But when the phone is streaming over WiFi or 3G while you are doing some other stuff (reading a pdf file for instance) causes the phone to become laggy and soon after that I almost-always see the flashing X :)

Personally, I think JB is loading the HW too much. I used to run CM9 prior to JB ROM, never had a reboot. But that ROM has it's own issues ;)
[Xperia Arc General] justkiddinghere:
S2 is getting 4.2.2 update officially and arc s stuck at 4.0

Sony havnt done it right way with arc s users :-/
[Xperia Arc General] SammiSaysHello:
you should know that sony ericsson phones are no longer relevant to Sony's business goals anymore :p
[Xperia Arc General] littlejoelgriffo:
Yeah, yeah. Sony release 1000 phones a year, give them support for 6 months, drop them and move onto the next phones. It's plain ridiculous. I mean, really. The Xperia Arc S was released 2011 September and by June 2012 when Jelly Bean came out, Sony had already lost support! Less than 9 months update support!

I much prefer Samsung releasing probably half the phones and provided a year or two of support.

But before anyone mentions hardware, think that the Galaxy Ace Plus (with lower specs, adreno 200, 1ghz) has received 4.1.2 officially.
[Xperia Arc General] justkiddinghere:
You should also know when we paid for xperia arc s we paid to sony also what kindof thing is that no business

We stuck at ics a buggy laggy ics

S2 released at same time as arc thats where sony sucks
[Xperia Arc General] SammiSaysHello:
Have fun complaining :)
[Xperia Arc General] justkiddinghere:
I shifted to note 2 am happy it will get 4.2.2 and key lime pie and have awesome jelly bean experience bugless and super smooth

I wont buy sony thats my complaint

My brother have my arc s thats why am here I love that phone but sony sucks
[Xperia Arc General] littlejoelgriffo:
From Arc S to Note 2! What an upgrade! Have fun with it, I'm a bit jealous. :)
[Xperia Arc General] lee480:
S2 has a Dual Core CPU and 1 GB RAM. :)
[Xperia Arc General] RecklessTurtle:
If my memory serves me right, the S2 is released BEFORE the Arc. I remember buying that phone April-May or so in 2011 to a friend. Wasn't the Arc released in September/October'ish?

Anyway, Sony Ericsson phones were at least a year behind competition. With the Z, they finally caught up :good:

However, Sony support is like old Samsung. They forget their products after 6 months and move to something else. Thank God these phones have unlocked bootloaders so that we can benefit from custom ROMs... ;)
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
Arc S was announced ad CES in January iirc, else it was at MWC in February.

LOL, thankfully the bootloader is so easy to unlock, my next phone will definitely have an unlockable bootloader, even if the stock ROM is updated, it usually takes 6 month for the update to arrive, the LG 2x Speed received ICS more than a year after ICS was released by Google.
[Xperia Arc General] justkiddinghere:
There are many phones having jelly bean as arc specs its company fault

Samsung still supporting S2 and S2 owners wont feel cheated but I do when see my arc with buggy slow ics
[Xperia Arc General] mastfun:
Xperia 2011

Will Xperia 2011 phones get the JB?
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
No.
[Xperia Arc General] imarink:
Yeah, only 6 months support. But, I'd xperia X10i and he'd "died", I went to complain and got the Arc S :D
[Xperia Arc General] ajaydsantos:
I'd rather stick to custom roms than have a bloated JB stock rom on my Arc S.

Don't get me wrong, I love how sony tweaks their UI but it's get laggy overtime.
[Xperia Arc General] K Ribou:
So do I!

Sony's ICS rom was so laggy, I swithced back GB. After than I decide to unlocked my BL! No regrest, at the moment trying to find the JB rom that meet my needs, and it's a lot smooth and fast than SE firmware.
[Xperia Arc General] arc_n_krizt:
Agree..... the solution is use custom ROM
[Xperia Arc General] ez125:
Still using ICS :D
[Xperia Arc General] sympi:
I think that GB is more better than ICS, even than JB... of course on Arc S.
[Xperia Arc General] K Ribou:
You should give a try at super jelly bean v3!

So smooth, fast, bug free...

Sent from... who cares?
[Xperia Arc General] fraspax:
it's planty of great custom roms based on ICS. I don't regret GB
[Xperia Arc General] stani2103:
yeh,GB is good and fast but not nice,JB is the best for thr moment:good:
[Xperia Arc General] Abdus Samz:
Yeah..maybe..but I love jb's screen lock..

I installed it using the holo locker..

If this was useful to you guys,a thanks would be he most welcomed
[Xperia Arc General] mr_nino:
Hi guys, first post for me ;)

i think jelly bean is just awesome, everything is so easy now! i'm really excited about the future! how will this just go on? :laugh:

btw my arc s is running Unofficial CM10.1 build 20130407 by shufuking :good: :good:
[Xperia Arc General] thelast3lack:
i have tried some gb and ics roms, but no jb yet.

i really don't care about ui much, so gb is fine for me now. although wifi is way better in ics, specially in .13 based roms (UHD is good).

is performance for daily use(browsing, call, text, notes) comparable to gb? and what about wifi?

hy, i think jelly bean is just awesome :cyclops:
[Xperia Arc General] senthilrameshjv:
The beauty of JB is they have optimized and improved all the default apps very much. The browser is fast, you need no thirdparty apps for it. So does the gallery and it replaced quick pic now. Also the camera (replacing many), keyboard (no need for swipes anymore), Quick panel (No toolbar apps needed). Also these apps are faster now with 4.1+. And the final one replacing Widget locker. Blv me, install dashclock in 4.2 and your phone will become beautiful than ever.
