I replaced it with go launcher too, and it's very smooth.

The annoying thing that I found on this last Nightly, is the rotation screen, sometimes when you totate to landscape, the screen shows only the middle of the image, rest is black. :cowboy:
[Xperia Arc General] Thanak:
Never had that problem
[Xperia Arc General] jtdc:
So after a week or so of use, I noticed I get strange battery drain in CM7.2 that I do not get in others. Specifically, I get 1% off every 30-35 minutes in phone idle (122 Mhz min), only thing on is GSM standby. For the other ROMs I tried 1% would last up to 90 minutes.

I've done checking what consumes it and its nothing, phone always in deep sleep. Nothing unusual also in betterbatterystats. Perhaps this is the trade-off of how this ROM manages things and makes it fast. Even my testing of Temple Run Brave runs great, no lags and instant response.

Also, I did not see Bravia Engine (in any options). I can't say if it is active already, I dunno. Was this implemented at all in this ROM?

Until I get tired of this and the mood strikes, I will try other rom again. However, I will always remember that this is the best rom I had tried.
[Xperia Arc General] Thanak:
Yeah! Battery seem to drain pretty quick. But there is no mobile bravia engine in this rom. Only in rom that base on official from Sony have this setting. Anyway mobile bravia engine only work in stock Xperia gallery.
[Xperia Arc General] jtdc:
I see. I better research more on the Bravia Engine if its just a placebo. As I know it only works on photos and videos when displayed on the phone screen. To be honest I never use stock gallery, I use QuickPic which is 10000% better than it, and for the video player I use MX Video.

In any case, I already left CM7.2 due to the battery drain. Tried JJHybrid ROM to give a chance to ICS again, but I really am allergic to the lag and overall slowness must be the hardware really being stressed by ICS.

Went back to Arconium 8.2 now and intend to stick with this (until a new ICS comes along again). Going thru all these ROMs make me appreciate the speed, response, and management of Gingerbread.

As far as experience is concerned, Arconium 8.2 is as speedy, fast, and overall like CM7.2 but without the battery drain and still has the Sony Ericsson experience (ie. launcher, icons). You have to try it, if you haven't.

Is there some mod for GB that gives the rotational effect to the screen?.
[Xperia Arc General] Thanak:
Yes. Try look at Android development thread.

[Xperia Arc General] caqo71:
mmm, That's not what I asked for. I'm not talking about the Launcher, just the navite rotation effect that CM7.2, CM9 and ICS have :confused:
[Xperia Arc General] jona_spdr:
I'm testing CM7 about one week, and, of course is very very fast, the best rom for our Arc, but battery drained "very very fast". I think that FXP need solve this (35% at night) :(

But, of course, great job FXP team!

Waiting bug fixes!! :)
[Xperia Arc General] Devoct:
i agree, that CM7 by far is the most smoothest ROM for Arc, don't even compare it to ICS ROM. :)

but that comes with a cost i think, the battery life is kinda short, at least for me.

and maybe this is the only Gingerbread ROM that still gets updates. :good:
[Xperia Arc General] kenmau:
I have a question...to install cm 7 or cm 9, do I have to unlock bootlader? ... is it neccesary????
[Xperia Arc General] Devoct:
unlocked bootloader is a must!
[Xperia Arc General] addictbom:
but any bug, im use kernel on rom cm7, not compatible usb otg, thetering wifi has been 5 minute, no choice bravia engine and xloud.. any solutions?
[Xperia Arc General] Thanak:
I think there is no way you can do that.
[Xperia Arc General] Thanak:
Wifi seem to be no problem with me but there is no way to get bravia engine and xloud. Only roms that base on stock have that option.
[Xperia Arc General] Thanak:
You have to unlocked your bootloader to get this rom working because it use it own kernel.
[Xperia Arc General] flyingskorpion:
Bravia engine

I was planning to look @ CM7 but losing bravia engine is the price, so i backed off. What about the rest, I mean Radio/BT/Call Drop or something else?

anyway thanks
[Xperia Arc General] Thanak:
Why did you care about bravia engine? It only work on stock gallery. The only problem that it have is HDMI.
[Xperia Arc General] zezoassiri:
Yeah no doubt about that cm7 is the fastest rom I'v tried..

But there is a thing i hate it in this rom .

It is the luncher ..

Yeah it is sucks .. No beauty in it..

I just imagine if this Rom with this speed have the sony stock launcher..

Also the battery is fast as the speed ..
[Xperia Arc General] Thanak:
Try Go launcher + Locker

You might find it interesting after customized and playing around with it for a while.

Go launcher is very smooth and responsive. Plenty of themes are waiting for you.

Why freexperia stopped cm 7.2 development? I'm in fxp 129 and I was waiting for camera fix to update. What about cm 7.2 nightly builds? will be fixed?

I have a very doubt about the Xperia camera, and FXP CM 7.2 rom-

At first I noiced that the CM camera kills the Xperia camera in a hardware speaking. but lastly I noticed that the photos taken with the Cm 7.2 camera have a nice quality. So, my question is that sony claims to have an Exmor sensor...... so, what negative impact have CM software about sony camera?. I know that it looses 2MP (16:9) resolution, but I noticed that the quality pic is very nice. What more is loosing??
[Xperia Arc General] Thanak:
You can use any camera apps from play store. Battery drain still a big issue, keyboard? I don't know, now I am on CM10.

I don't know much about how CM impact the quality of the phone camera but it seem to work fine for me.

Hi. I have a Bell mobility Canadian S3. I am traveling to USA. I need data for using Google Navigation and internet there. Does anyone know if i can unlock my phone, buy a prepaid SIM card, and use the phone there? Is this phone compatible with t-mobile or at&t SIM cards?

ps--if it won't work, i also have an unlocked motorolla Atrix (1st gen), but the screen is fidgety and doesn't work well. Will prepaid sims work in the atrix?... then i can just use the atrix as a hotspot for the S3. Thanks in advance.

EDIT...sorry didn't see that the s3 has different forums for canada and USA versions...found out after i created this thread.
[Galaxy S III General] derekmhma:
Buy an unlock code online. I heard some site charges like 7 cad. I used cellunlocker.net twice before and it charges 15 us each. Or your local cellphone shop or pacific mall I guess....

At&t will sure work and they are roaming partner of Bell. They might have prepaid voice and data. Check online for yourself.

OK I have read creepy's guide and several other ones and downloaded all the files.

So far the steps that I understand:

1. Recovery Wipe

2. Download Mobile Odin on your phone

3. Use Mobile Odin to flash custom kernel by selecting zImage file. (Apparently I need to use a gingerbread Kernel even though I am going to ICS? this I also don't really understand)

4. He says you can use Mobile Odin to flash a ROM but never explains how. The way I did this before is by loading a .tar file into the PDA section of ODIN on PC and then just clicking start while my phone is in download mode. I looked into Mobile Odin and found no option saying ROM or PDA. My options are Kernel, System, Data, Cache, Param, Modem, or Hidden. So where do I load the .zip/.tar file?

Help would be very appreciated thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fakhri:
You can not use GB kernel on ICS rom. To flash kernel you should put zImage to kernel section on mobile odin and push flash firmware.

To flash rom via mobile odin you should put tar or md5 rom file to system section of mobile odin. Push flash firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sky`:
if the zImage file is inside of the .tar file does that mean flashing the ROM will automatically flash the kernel as well?

Also creepy specifically states to use a gingerbread kernel, "You must use a Gingerbread kernel when using this method. If you use an ICS kernel while your phone is running Gingerbread, it will not boot!!!"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fakhri:
If tar or md5 file have zImage, mobile odin will leave old kernel.

If you want to flash ICS rom You should put tar or md5 file of rom in system and ICS kernel of this rom in kernel.

f you want to flash GB rom You should put tar or md5 file of rom in system and GB kernel of this rom in kernel.

Creepy states don't mix GB kernel with ICS rom and v.v.

If rom file have inside hidden, modem, zImage, system (factoryfs), cache. You can on mobil odin push "open file or archive .tar, .tar.md5, .exe, and separate file" and choose rom tar or md5 file. Mobile odin will put all file in right plase.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sky`:
Apparently these are all .zip files? How am I suppose to do this using .zip files?

This is the ROM I am trying to flash:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1650948

The .zip file has only 5 files inside of it when extracted, cache.img, factoryfs.img, hidden.img, modem.bin, and zImage with no specified file extension.

When you said it will "leave the old kernel" do you mean it will leave it in place, or leave it to the new kernel inside of the .tar file?

So should I extract the .zip file use the zImage as my kernel and load the whole .tar file under system?

Or do I need to use a different kernel like fluxxi?

EDIT: I was also curious about this ROM, would it be difficult to install? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1752232
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fakhri:
First rom you should open with "open file" and mobile odin will put all him self. And you can flash. Kernel and modem will be changed to rom kernel and modem.

Second rom is not difficult but you should flash with cwm recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sky`:
Sorry I gave you the wrong link for the first ROM, I have like 20 tabs open trying to figure this out.

this is the one I meant: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746181

and it is a .tar file

Also for the second link, I'm guessing CWM is Clockwork Mod? is this a mobile software or PC based? I googled it and went to their main website and found no download link for anything similar to ODIN. I also searched for cwm recovery in play store and found an app called rom manager, is this it?

Thanks a bunch for your help, I really do appreciate this

Rahmat Aytmoq
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fakhri:
It's same. put in "open file".

After installing rom you can change kernel via mobile odin.

After installing you will have a root and it' very easy.

You can change kernel to siyah kernel nomswap http://www.mediafire.com/?81odsaa6o6ib165. Take from zip file zImage and install via mobile odin. After you will have root and cwm recovery.

But it is for I777 based stock rom. For other rom you should install siyah mswap http://www.mediafire.com/?vihwj8l5wv8v263
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sky`:
Ok great I know have all the files selected in mobile odin. I wanna go over this with you one more time before i begin the flash to make sure I made no mistakes.

1. I did not do a factory reset because I am still on gingerbread(rooted) is this ok?

2. I used "open file" as you said and it placed all the proper files in the right location.

3. There are two options that I'm not sure what they do, "wipe data and cache" and "Wipe Dalvik cache" Should I check both of these?

As soon as you tell me I'm fine ill start the flash! thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sky`:
I impatiently started the flash :( I hope i didnt mess anything up
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fakhri:
If you from GB check both.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sky`:
I didnt check both and already started the flash! :(

It already finished flashing and it seems to be working just fine except my phone feels hotter then normal I hope this isnt a heating issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fakhri:
It's matter of after flash only.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
I think you need to do a lot more reading if you're going to continue flashing roms
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sky`:
The flash was successful though! Running ICS no problem and no more heating issue.

I wish I could customize the lock in the lock screen. Not a big fan of the small lock.

Anyway it works fine :D! thanks for the help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
That would require flashing another rom, see what I mean?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Eternalty:
+1 lots more reading needs to be done you need to wipe data and cache and dalvik cache always before flashing a new rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sky`:
What is the importance of wiping data/cache before flashing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xhepera:
It ensures that there are no "left behinds" from prior ROMs or kernels that could (and often do) conflict with the new firmware you're flashing. Many of the problems that people tend to blame on ROMs or kernels are actually often resolved when they go back and wipe fully before the install. May as well get it out of the way in the first place instead of ending up pulling your hair out (or frustrating the dev enough to do the same) because it wasn't done with a clean slate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sky`:
Right now I'm having one problem, wallpaper scrolling is not working after flashing creepy's ICS ROM. Is this because I did not wipe before hand?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
No, as I said in your other thread, it HAS been discussed and there are at least 2 ways to fix it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] REOGrand:
Am I missing something here? You are already rooted on GB? If so. Why didnt you use CWM? Maybe I should be reading more. :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sky`:
Ok I get it, you want me to find it myself, but at this point I have already searched XDA, google, and modmymobile. With nothing other than people having issues with wallpaper scrolling on their leaked ICS versions and wall. If you have knowledge of a thread that will help me, could you at least tell me where I can find it because I am finding nothing pertaining to my specific case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
The one in the general section about the update maybe?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hopman1:
One additional backup

One further backup I would suggest is your efs settings.

Reasons for this, how to do and aps that will do this can be found in these threads.

Do a lot of reading before flashing more roms, about clockwork mod recovery, mobile odin, what are included in the custom roms and the like.

All of the answers are here, and search is your friend.
[HTC One X] Rszafraniec93:
Hey I was wondering if the One X has any noticeable differences in performance compared to the S3 gaming and UI wise. I have an S3 but I like the Tegra optimized games and the design of the One X, but i heard that there is noticeable lag and the S3 is better. Please help with my decision. Thanks!
[HTC One X] Mentu12:
Yes, Sense is much heavier UI, much more than TouchWiz, laggs happens, sometimes often, hox software isnt good enough to make this phone good enough, bugs happens, but its still good smatrphone.

Hope HTC will get his ass to work, and fix all of this ... sh*t :P
[HTC One X] Rszafraniec93:
Is that a yes that I should get it? Also can you confirm what people say that gaming and music are better on the One X (International), over the S3 (International). Those are my two main selling point because I already like the One X build quality better.
[HTC One X] Mentu12:
Well imo sgs3 is better for music, hox dont have microsd slot, on stock firmware sounds awful, and battery is worst than g3, with mods its better ofc.

For games ? Yeah u got dedicated tegra games but now those games is tech demos, good graphics, sux gameplay, and most of gameloft games dont support tegra, asphlat 6 for example but i heard asphlat 7 works on hox.

Hox got better design and quality of build its clear, better screen, and sense despite its sometimes laggy and slow is best android cover ;-)
[HTC One X] Rszafraniec93:
Thanks, but the big question is if I should trade my S3 in for the One X or if the S3 is just as good. Also which one is more future proof in terms of performance?
[HTC One X] Ryan J Williams:
You should really just go into a phone shop and try a One X. Both the S3 and One X have extensively modified versions of Android on them, which in both cases is for the worse IMO and doesn't offer the butter-smooth and clean experience I wanted Android for in the first place.

As such, which one you'll prefer is largely down to taste. For example I think the S3's built-in SMS app is horrible, whereas the One X's is great. Conversely, I think the One X's built-in browser and email client are garbage.

Performance-wise it might be the S3 is smoother, although in all honesty I didn't pick up on much of a difference when testing the two. However make no mistake, when you get a custom ROM on there which takes away all the HTC crap this phone can blaze — if Jelly Bean ROMs start appearing soon with its reputed 'project butter' performance enhancements it's going to be perfect.

As for the hardware: One X looks and feels infinitely better, S3 feels a little tacky and cheap IMO and doesn't look that hot either. The One X is probably the best industrial design I've seen for a phone yet. Also the One X does win on the specs front, although the battery life is a little inferior as a result.
[HTC One X] drvsbsm:
Get more than one opinion don't be a tool. Read up! I like the One X mine works just fine but you have to set it up right. Almost all quad core phones is preference do you like the One X features or S3s? Sense or TouchWiz etc. etc.

Read up around here and in the dev section. see what you can do with the One X if you buy it.

See its all preference I like the One X browser and how it will re-flow the text so you don't have to keep sliding the screen back and forth and zooming in and out etc. I like how it does the word wrapping so you just scroll up and down while reading the article you focused in on it might take a big long extra second to load a page but IMO its worth it. To each his own, what some like others don't.:cool:
[HTC One X] Mentu12:
Answer for ur question its not that simple, its rly similar phones, only details make them different, Sense VS TouchWiz, SLCD2 vs AMOLED (with pentail), Tegra3 vs Exynos. U need to know what u rly need i picked up hox :) Which is more for future ? Non of them. Soon we will see brand new snapdragon s4 quad core which kill tegra3 and exynos in performance.
[HTC One X] drvsbsm:
AGREE 100% that is going to be a beast but everyone just needs to enjoy what we have now because it wont last too long at the rate that technology is moving. More manufacturers are starting to arrive on the scene. I still want to see how this new PowerVR with the new Quad core is like. Sit back and laugh at Crapple HTC +1 for the win yesterday great!
