All About ArcMini ICS

No, its not fully built from sources. In ArcMini ICS some part is from nobodyAtall's MiniCM9 ROM [like camera libs and some other files], some part is from my ArcMini NxT ROM and some other apps and all ArcMIni themes are redesigned by me to work well with the ICS base.

While developing ArcMini ICS I faced a lot of problems and bugs when everything is built from sources. So, i have decided to use best part of different ROMs for ArcMini ICS to give the best ICS experience to all the users of X10 Mini Pro.

Its all upto the users to tell me whether I am succeeded or not, but the truth is that ArcMini ICS is the outcome of my 100% efforts.

Huge thanks to nobodyAtall for his great MiniCM9.

Hello, very good ROM for now the big problem for me is the battery that is my standard phone and need long term, this ROM I really do not last more than 1 day

And I have no use, when I look at the battery gives me the screen is at 70% :/

Videocodec

Is there a fully working Camcorder in this ROM or the weaker one without videocodec?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] herbesi01:
I think that none of the X10 MP ROM ICS to come to work 100% camcoder due to lack of drivers from qualcomm unless some dev can write or hack these drivers while hardly ICS can enjoy 100% ...

Review: Bugs ArcMini ICS

Hi Pranav, Thanks fro providing us your another most beautiful creation. You have the potential to make the ICS on our X10MP work like officail. Thanks again.

I flashed ArcMini ICS immediately and tested for one day and here are my reviews.

1. CMW Recovery does not have option of “shut down” which was there in nAa GB kernel.

2. Signal fluctuation is very much (big problem) as compared to stock one i.e call quality is not good.

3. In Contacts, there is no option to select the view contact from phone only. The google contacts are also integrated. It will be good if you can incorporate the contact and dialer apps from Paul’s old xperia project CM9-002. It has really nice UI.

4. Rom is still laggy at some point. Like, when someone tries to open settings, it will take considerable time. You have to work more to provide more free ram I think so. (Anyway you have done a great job and worked harder than ever)

5. No alternate lockscreen style option available.

6. One cannot move most of the apps to SD card which one could move in GB rom.

7. Camera settings has two ‘store location’ option, which I am not sure why? Apart from that the camera settings panel does not fit to screen, some portion is cut.

8. The camcorder is laggy and videocodec things are not working. I think Camcoder needs some libs and drivers. Camcoder settings panel is also cut. Playing video is also laggy.

9. Autorotation is not as smooth as compared to GB roms.

10. The signal bar and the associated 3G/H/E/G symbols are not visible properly and it is really hard to differentiate among them. Status bar should have more clear symbols like stock.

11. The phone does not respond some time even after pressing any physical key. After some time the phone will wake up like normal.

12. While incoming call, sometimes the phone screen will not respond properly and one could miss the call. The caller screen is not as fluid as it should be.

13. The default launcher is very bad and I think everyone here in X10MP community want some other launcher instead of that.

14. Some ongoing functions will auto terminate while screen auto-rotation. Like I was importing contacts from SDCard and in between the process I left my phone and the screen auto-rotated itself and the process of importing terminated immediately.

15. After importing contacts from SD Card, there are no contacts shown in the contacts app.

16. Bluetooth automatically turns on while starting FM Radio and FM radio does not pause if there is a call in between.

17. No headset icon is shown if headset is connected.

18. Keyboard light does not work until auto-brightness is turned on.

19. Battery life is very poor in this rom even after caliberation.

I will report other bugs as soon as I will find them.

I think Pranav can fix most of them soon as these are not major bugs.

Thanks for giving us ICS taste.

Thanks Pranav. Hope to see further updates from you soon as you did in case of GB ArcMini NxT Rom.

Thanks Thanks Thanks!!:D

Please Advice

Pranav,

When compared to MiniCM9-3.0.3, this ROM has better performance (battery & performance)

Settings I used:

Replaced the Trebuchet launcher with ADW

Zram- 26%

CPU Governer: SMARTASSV2

Min CPU:245 MHz

Max CPU: 691 MHz

Swap Settings: Enabled

Swap Size 256MB

Kernel samepage merging: On

Allow purging of assets: On

Surface Dithering : Off

16 bit transparency: Off

I do not know if these settings are correct or perfect, however I get a pretty much stable, less laggy ICS ROM.

If anything is wrong, please advice:highfive:

Request: Basic Phone Features

Hi Pranav,

You are doing great work....Please focus on smoothness and excellent basic phone features [like call quality, signal strenght (wcich is pretty bad and always fluctuating), contacts etc.] in your future updates. After all our X10Mp is a phone too:D. I hope you will include official sony ICS dialer and contacts app to our X10MP. I think most of the people do not like xperia event app which you are including from initial release (I know you are trying to make things more sony type) but this app is really ram consuming since this app and all its associated processes are always running in background. Apart from this the apps like facebook and other which people can download from market are not necessary to include in the ROM.

I hope you will resize the camera and camcoder settings page interface also.

Waiting for the next release eagerly.

Thanks.

PS: These are only suggestions and request...do not take it other way please. I hope you will consider few of them.

Review: ArcMini ICS-3

Hi Pranav,

Thanks for your great work.....Keep it up!! After few hours rigorously testing your latest version, I encountered with few bugs:

1. It has buggy audio...Very bad while playing any song via speakers.

2. Sometimes screen does not wake up even after pressing any physical key...and after some time it will wake up itself. This sometimes leads to miss a incoming call.

3. Incoming call volume is not clear and sharp.

4. Camera/camcoder settings panel needs resizing.

5. If youexport contacts from a vcf file, then after import the contacts are not showing in the list.

6. If yahoo weather information is added to the lockscreen then the slide-lock goes slightly off screen.

7. Video playback is laggy...I think videocodecs are not supported yet.

8. Xperia S On-Off tools not working fully: Data toggle not working and some toggles are force closing the widget.

9. The status bar signal strenght and the associated 3G/H/E/G symbols are not visible properly and it is really hard to differentiate among them. Status bar should have more clear symbols like stock.

10. Sometimes the ROM is laggy at some places like while opening settings.

11. Camera Panorama shot is laggy and not working properly.

12. No alternate lockscreen style available.

13. Boot time is very large.

14. Camera settings has two ‘store location’ option, which I am not sure why?

15. Bluetooth automatically turns on while starting FM Radio and FM radio does not pause if there is a call in between.

16. No headset icon is shown if headset is connected.

Thanks for your beautiful creation....I hope this buglist will help you for futher updating the ROM for better stability and smoothness.

Thanks again.

Review: Bugs

Thanks to the dev Pranav for providing us his beautiful creation. Though the update was released after a long time but major bugs are still intact as mentioned in my previous bug list. The amount of available RAM is very low and sometimes zero even after creating swap and other memory management tweaks. In comparison with nAa MiniCM9-3.0.4 this rom lags most of the time. nAa version is much more faster but ArcMini ICS is providing us the most beautiful UI (but at the cost of performance:()

Those guys who are claiming that the MiniCM9 or rom based on MiniCM9 are faster and smoother than that of GB roms, I would laugh on them...LOL...Please stop confusing our hard workers (developers) and report any issue/bugs you find in the rom.

Thanks Pranav. You have done great work.

Thanks Thanks....!!

P Buglist:

1. It has buggy audio...pretty bad while playing any song via speakers.

2. Sometimes screen does not wake up even after pressing any physical key...and after some time it will wake up itself.

3. Incoming call volume is not clear and sharp and sometimes too low.

4. Camera/camcoder settings panel needs resizing.

6. If yahoo weather information is added to the lockscreen then the slide-lock goes slightly off screen.

7. Video playback is laggy...though this is not rom issue...the drivers are needed from Q...com.

8. Xperia S On-Off tools not working fully: Data toggle not working and some toggles are force closing the widget.

9. The status bar signal strength and the associated 3G/H/E/G symbols are not visible properly and it is really hard to differentiate among them. Status bar should have more clear symbols like stock. But one can use other theme to get rid of this issue.

10. Sometimes the ROM is laggy at some places like while opening settings. Dev please note that the "settings.apk" is eating too much ram.

11. Camera Panorama shot is laggy and not working properly. Though this is not a big issue but the touch focus is not available like GB rom:(.

12. No alternate lockscreen style available.

13. Boot time is large.

14. Camera settings has two ‘store location’ option, which I am not sure why?

15. Bluetooth automatically turns on while starting FM Radio and FM radio does not pause if there is a call in between. This is a major bug and has been listed in main thread. Due to this sometimes FM radio too is having issues.

16. No headset icon is shown if headset is connected.

I will report more bugs in next updates: Here are some screnshots of Pranav's beautiful creation...!!

Thanks again Pranav......eagerly waiting for the next update.

I wanted to try it out, too but after installation and at the very first boot it just hangs at the boot prozess at the logos. :(

I tryed to install it a couple of times, with different kernels but always the same result.

Is this problem known?

At the recovery mode there is a option like LOGFILES and i clicked on it and there was an error message.

Something like
