Yes.. You need to do that.. But make sure you make a full wipe. and remember to install google apps for JB as well..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
It wasn't a ROM related bug, but CWM 6 bug. Was in version 130 only if I remember correctly.

Here is all info on how to hotboot CWM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1302037

I'm having random reboots with the latest version of CM10 (FXP135).

Anyone else with an issue similar to mine?

I came from CM9, thinking not much has changed I did not wipe data, just cache and dalvik cache. After GAPPS install Playstore kept FC'ing, so I "uninstalled updates" and it worked.

try go to development settings and check Disable HW overlays (needs to be done each time after a reboot)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] yenter:
Yups I got it too! And sometimes my keyboard will be stuck in capslock. Anyone has a fix? I THINK my phone has disabled the HW overlays thing when it reboots.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Smiley76:
press the globe button for the capslock issue.

does it reboot all the way to the FreeXperia logo or just the bootanimation?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dympy:
Sometimes just the bootanimation, but today at work, while I was going to deploy an app for testing, it went to the FreeXperia logo.

Now I'm trying the Disable HW Overlay thingy, no reboots so far..

Caps lock issue, I had it on CM9 sometimes, haven't noticed it now. It seemed as if the device had completely forgotten it's keyboard layout, not even QWERTY was checked in the settings. Resetting that always fixed it but required a reboot.

But like I said, not yet noticed this issue.

BTW, overall a pretty great ROM, using it as daily since it's so damn fast thanks to Project Butter.

Seriously guys from team FreeXperia, big thanks for this release and if I knew a bit more about Android and it's internals, and if I had some extra free time, I would help big time.

Is there a guide anywhere on compiling this yourself, I want to try some stuff regarding the kernel.

Dympy.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] DeejayTelis:
Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik cache (or not if you aint able to), install zip and then fix permissions, this will probably fix it.

If not, use rocovery to restore latest backup, and download another copy. Files might be corrupt.

Hope i helped. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cshegde:
more smooth and fast compared to fxp 135,

camera preview does not work which is known issue, I tried market camera apps and now even they wont work (even HW overlay disabled) and is usually resulted in resets. Low in call volume still exists, however I felt notification and other sounds are now loud enough

that said, this release delivers whatever is promised in change log,

big thanks FXP..

FXP136 works fine, the new settings are great :D

Tried the the attached the kernel, but its the same behavior, tried camera zoomfx and there is no preview , also immediate reset.

what was this kernel supposed to have different ? little explanation will be always nice
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Smiley76:
hmm strange.. that kernel is compiled with two extra commits that didn't make it into the released version. and the market cameras works for me without reboot on my Iyokan (atleast ICS camera.. but it has some bugs where you can't see the settings).

Thanks

This patch is ment to be able to run the "PDroid" application which is able to manage access permissions for other applications.

No wipes needed.

Guys, I've never installed a custom ROM on the Xperia Pro before (I have lots of knowledge on other devices) It's currently running official ICS, rooted and unlocked bootloader. How can I install this ROM?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mundi2010:
A installation guide is posted in the second post!

Just flash the kernel, reboot into recovery, install rom then gapps (zip files), wipe data, cache, dalvin, reboot, enjoy!

Dunno why, but previous versions of cwm recovery look n work better. This one doesn't even have reboot options. Plus the dancing screen, shake it shake it!

Hope it's fixed in the next iterations...

---------- Post added at 06:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 AM ----------

My brief review after a few days of use.

Great Rom, great speed, couple of stability issues, hope they get fixes soon.

What I have noticed:

My phone takes double time to charge.

Battery running flat quite fast, I've had better battery life with stock ics and the best with gingerbread, can't complain though with all these sync options now. Battery will be dead in no time.

Yesterday had to hard reset after the screen was "trembling" n unresponsive.

Screen freezes here n there, n have to reset.

Also now, when phone is unlocked, every time I use touchscreen all hardware keys inc. Keyboard light up, further killing the dying battery.

In call phone volume incredibly low.

Headphones with mic, echo my own voice plus noise captured by the back mic (ambient noise cancelling mic)on the phone is also echoed

In landscape, right side of the lockscreen is cut/hidden, only half of the unlock/slide button is seen,

Camera has got its icon appearing in the apps drawer and that's the only thing working about it.

However jb on xperia pro is definitely worth it, n beyond expectations keeping in mind it's aging hardware, never thought it would run without being choppy or feel lack of ram, nothing, multi tasking is good too.

Also I used poweramp before to listen to music with my Monster IEM's, and always felt the need to buy an external portable headphone amp for it, since the sound was good but not amazing, however this time I gave Apollo a try and a few tweaks with DSP manager and the sound is quite loud and amusing . Big improvement.

Wish It had library management features, playlists, last fm scrobbling, computer sync play counts and ratings.

Sorry for being too demanding, but would be dream come true for me.. :p

That's pretty much it, great work devs, totally supporting you.. donating now... thanks-a-ton guys.. u rock!

FXP 137 - CM10 is Up.

http://uploaded.net/file/au0yhsau/from/bnjnql
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Japamala:
Hm... trying 137, only issue I've found so far is the camera display is all messed up. Pictures taken are fine, though.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ravi774:
Any changes you noticed apart from that..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Japamala:
Haven't used previous versions, so I can't make a comparison.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ravi774:
Thanks anyway, I will give it a try this afternoon after work. Does anyone know if I have to wipe everything again from recovery before upgrading from fxp 136, cos It takes a lot of time to reconfigure everything back again.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sadique_shiblee:
if it is from FXP 136 other than CM10 you have to wipe EVERYTHING

if it is from FXP 136 CM10 just

1. Wipe cache partition

2. Wipe Dalvik Cache

3. Install rom.Zip

4. Install gaaps.zip

DONT FORGET TO FLASH THE ATTACHED KERNEL
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Japamala:
Only other issue I've found is the screen fade when there's no activity is rather flickery.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sadique_shiblee:
I have a suggestion about your music sound. try Jet Audio basic. it has a lots of option including preamp volume, equalizer, and many other sound effects that a jet audio PC version has...

just give it a try at least once... think you'll like it...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Japamala:
Interesting note: third party apps that use the camera work fine. It's only the bundled camera app that doesn't. (I tried a barcode reader app and the camera was working on it)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sadique_shiblee:
Just installed cm10 fxp 137 over cm9.1 fxp 137 by just wiping cache partition and delvik cache. Didnt factory reset. And it worked. Only thing that is buging is camera. Picture can be taken. But it does not display on camera. But no video... keep up the good work...:thumbup:

The recovery is still dancing...

FXCamera is working 800x600

But it is very smooth... eagerly waiting for the camera fix....

I sure will do that now, also do you have an idea if there's a way to sync music play stats (play counts and ratings) to any media player on PC.

I want my android to list my recently played, mostly played, 4-5 ratings to go same with my pc media player.

For the moment, I am scrobbling to lastfm both on my android n PC, then after a week I download my lastfm stats from the website, and update my PC database. Media Monkey has a plug in that allows you to do that.

FXP138 feels "Fluffy" :D Hardware Overlay forces Random reboots :( Not patchable for pdroid...

EDIT: Too instable.... 5 reboots in a half hour....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ImmortalZ:
I'm running FXP137 on my Xperia Pro and the WiFi disconnects are a serious issue. When the phone has gone to sleep, WiFi immediately disconnects. It comes back up only when I wake the phone back up. I don't get any push messages while in this state. It feels like it connects and disconnects several times when it is in standby.

My carrier sends a pop up SMS style message that shows how much data I have remaining in my data cap every time I disconnect from a mobile data session. In the morning, after I wake up, there are so many messages (hundreds I'm guessing), the phone is hung. The clock in the lock screen doesn't update and if I get a call, I cannot answer it because the push messages are sitting on top and I can't dismiss them. Hell, I don't even get a missed call notification when the call finally times out (after I reboot the phone with a battery pull).

So it has become a serious annoyance now. Does anyone have a solution? Yes, the wifi sleep option is set to never turn off. It's just never obeyed by the phone it seems.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] yenter:
It's supposed to be a function, so I don't think there's a 'fix' or anything. It was brought up several times in the bugtracker I think. :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ImmortalZ:
Sure, I appreciate the option to save power with such an option. But it isn't obeying the setting I'm giving it and it's making my smartphone pretty dumb if I actually have to wake it up to make it visible to the outside world; might as well turn off all sync altogether.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Smiley76:
Yeah.. the wifibug is annoying :(

I have done a workaround with tasker where I disable wifi when the phone is locked and enables it again when unlocking. That makes data to kick in atleast.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ravi774:
Is fxp 138 better than jelly bean paranoidandroid?

It's very bad, because if I delete some Chars, evertime a tap on return and it's sends a not ready sms.

Is there any patch for the wifi-hotspot?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mundi2010:
Just use Shift+Return to get a new line.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ImmortalZ:
His problem is that accidentally hitting return sends an SMS.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bfbones:
Doesn't work :(

My Problems are:

1. Return sends the message AND

2. I cant get a new line (also SHIFT+Enter do not work with PerfectKeyboard Pro)

Running this ROM with the older FXP138 kernel, and I indeed have the problems mentioned before my post.

No keyboard backlight, and I'm also having issues with SU (ROM Toolbox Pro keeps asking for permissions and I can't update SU, also tried to install SuperSU, but it didn't work).

Could it be because of the kernel?

Dympy.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ardalaan:
i have exactly the same problem

i think its kernel related
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dympy:
You also had the SU problem?

Btw, not sure why, but I just, and I really mean just now, while writing this message, turned down my screen backlight from 100% to Dim and my button backlights turned on..

Dympy.

EDIT:

The backlight won't turn off, well, until I turn of the screen, when I change the brightness again, it turns on again..

EDIT2:

Interesting.. The 2 leds between the home/menu/back buttons are somehow connected to the brightness of the screen.. The brighter the screen, the brighter the two leds..

Not sure if it means anything, but sounds like something went wrong with the mapping or something, unless this is a feature, if so, I would appreciate, hate the 2 bright leds at night :P
[Xperia Arc Android Development] GiantMuffinMan:
I tried what you did, except I adjusted the brightness setting (which lit the keys), and then selected the "automatic brightness" setting. The keys are now lighting up properly.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Turns out this only works right after you change the brightness of the screen, once the phone goes to sleep the backlight stops working again.
