Isn't the kernel inside the zip? "boot.img"

Anyway, front facing camera works as advertised, rear camera no longer crashes when touching to focus! thank you FXP

fastboot drivers work on my college pc and due to network problems my download was cancelled and i had to face the one hour restriction from uploading.com so i cudnt download the whole rom so i wanted to flash the image first and download the rom file later.. will hav to wait untill tomorrow to get fxp149 as my college got over.. anyways is the mass storage working?? as mtp is really slow for file tranfers

Hi.

With Fxp149 can i use the gapps-jb-4.2.1-20121128-signed.zip?

Tnx in advance.

Resolved Cam App...

Thanks to both of you...

i did not removed the Pudding cam app...

only cleared the data& cache of gallary...

but when i switch the front cam... it starts crashing again... (who cares- FXP149 Out...)

installing FXP149...

cheers...

Hi FXP,

does this release has Mass storage.

because when i installed the FXP148, i am not able to conect through mass storage... it has only options of MTP and Camera device.

please revert how to resolve the same.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] GiantMuffinMan:
Hmmm...interesting...I just realised that the "USB connection" option from the notification drawer is now missing, can't access my SD card from the UI when it's connected by USB to my computer :confused: any ideas?

I don't see that file on goo.im - the only I see is "1130" which is not compatible with 4.1.x
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
-"HD" Video records at 19 FPS but with mono audio

-Camera works OK

I think any JB Gapps will work, I'm using the same package for all JB ROMs.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Splog:
they've moved to MTP. You may need to install additional drivers to get it working. unfortunately, i did this many moons ago, so i can't remember the exact steps.

It will come up as a "Portable Device". you also need to make sure the device is unlocked when you first go in, otherwise it'll restrict access to your files.

Could someone check if Chrome works properly with this release? or are we still getting random flickering sometimes?

Thanks.

From the changelog of FXP150

Does this mean that camera hardware/libraries is limited to 15fps on 720p so 720p will be removed and only 480p will be available ?

I hope it does not. I have recorded videos with constant 28+ fps in good lighting in 720p .

please explain in detail what this change is.

Thank you

But Mass Storage Is Better....

Hi,

Mass Storage is better option since, even one does not have Administrative right on some other computer.... one can easily trf data from another computer...

and Mass storage s widely used, even some people may not have the MTP drivers....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Splog:
I'm not a developer, so you're talking to the wrong man. :)

Personally I quite like MTP as it lets me copy files to the sdcard without unmounting from the phone.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
yes camera can now record 480p @ 30fps,the buggy 720p mode is disabled (result of your poll)

720p cant be fixed unless we get camera source which is impossible

Camera question

Hi FXP (and all others).

Thanks for keeping our devices in the loop. Just a noob question, the camera works fine, not a problem, but not with Google talk and Tango. Strange think is that with Skype is working ok, but the other 2 application are not able to display image just some color patches. Any idea why? Also if I install the camera from JB 4.2, I have the same issue, pictures taken ok, but on the screen I can only see some color patches / glitches.

Thanks for the answer

Emil
[Xperia Arc Android Development] puked:
Yeah - same problem here... haven`t installed 149 - and i don`t think i will. Thought it`s just a problem with the patch, that will be fixed with the new release... well, maybe next time

I was browsing through this thread, because I am considering to buy an Xperia Pro.

Coincidentally I fixed the SYM key for the Xperia mini pro today :)

Maybe someone want to try if it works for the Pro as well: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/27685/

(it probably will)

And now that I am writing here anyway: what doesn't work in CM10 for the Pro?

(I don't want to browse through all the pages here)

Maybe I will make a working/not working list like I do for the Xperia mini pro (see my signature).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pteek:
From top of my head: hardware acceleration is not perfect. Brightness is set to 50% max(fixed my a custom kernel provided in this thread.),HDMI(will probably never work.), auto brightens and from my experience, it is not stable enough for dependent use. I mean if you need you phone to work/get along efficiently.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] puked:
Oh - I don`t agree. It´s perfectly fine for every-day use. very stable, no unexpected behavior or bugs.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] giannhs_n:
Agreed with punked.

I prefer cm builds because they are clean without tons of usless apps (like SE has) since keyboard light and wi-fi sleep is gone..camera is admissible for normal use i do not find any reason the call free xperia build incomplete. yea hdmi is a problem for those who need it but this is not on their hands.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pteek:
I installed FXP149. I wan installing all my apps . I wan on the play store download screen. I dragged the notification bar and taped on brightness toggle. The phone rebooted and never started again. The screen turned off at cyanogen loading screen. glad I had a android backup.

same thing when i first installed. FXP146. Had two random reboots while listen t o FM and browsing. It is stable but not as much as the stock one.

I run Lupus kernel and never had a problem with stock ICS 4.0.4.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Drupry:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] miixxii:
hello,

I'm using linux and I have problems with MTP. Is it possible to switch back to USM? or let me know how can I change it myself.

Thank you
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Emil Borconi:
Do not agree. The ROM is stable and fast and it is VERY usable especially if you use your phone for work. Much faster than other ROM's I have tried, stable no random reboots and crashes. Yes it can happen that sometimes you have a phone restart, but you have the same problem on stock rom as well. If you use the phone for work purpose you do not need panorama video recording in HD and other staff like that. A phone is not a camera, good for a quick picture when you do not have anything else, but that's it. I think the main power of this phone is the QWERTY keyboard which can be used for writing emails while you are on the road. This ROM gives me the possibility to have a phone which respond fast enaugh to the commands, gets email via PUSH, if needed can be used as a satnav or in some cases to make video conference (and now this is working with Skype). So if you use the phone for WORK, this is the PERFECT ROM.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DeejayTelis:
Ευχαριστω πατριοτη! :D

I wouldnt really agree with you, when i bought my phone, i read that it had an HD 720p camera with 8MP and other stuff, if i dont have all these, then its not my phone any more, its just a phone with a keyboard. There are many phones with keyboards, and i bought this one because it has the keyboard and all the other feutures. So, its NOT a perfect ROM, until it has everything fixed. That's simple logic mate.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] puked:
the perfect rom for work wouldn`t have camera at all... ;P

well - you get it, no?!

Of course this rom is not perfect (yet?!) - but like he said it`s far from not being usable as your daily driver... and cm10 feels a lot faster and smoother than any stock rom. It`s a shame sony won`t release jb for their last year business flagship. (same **** like with almost any other brand). That`s the reason why I have a GNex - the Pro is my wifes phone. But I`d love a Nexus with hardware keyboard =D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Emil Borconi:
I will not like to argue too much on this, but please show me another Android phone, with QWERTY keyboard, available in the EU and which has similar processing power? If i should be interested in fancy camera, HD and other stuff like that I will buy myself an HTC or Samsung. Those thinks are just some fancy add-ons, nice too have but not essentials.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] M66B:
It is only for FXP not stock ROM.

The fix has been accepted by FXP for Xperia mini pro only and will probably be in FXP150.

Somebody has to test it for Xperia Pro and submit a fix to gerrit to have it in the next FXP release for this device.

Anybody tried CM10.1? Is there a separate threader for it?

Cheers.

EDIT: Please ignore the stupid question.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kbraiza:
Understand it's for FXP, what I mean is if the symbols on the menu will be symbols that can't be imputed through keyboard.

I ask that because on cm9 Sym key would show me the same symbols that I can already imput through keyboard (for example: #*+-=$£€!"/_%) making the Sym key menu pretty much useless, since what in my case was needed on the Sym key menu should have been other symbols (such as: ¥`<>^~][¤¡¿|).

Hope I've made myself clear now. Maybe my previous post was lacking the proper explanation.

none of the modifiers like shift or the blue key works on the native browser. typing with physical keyboard on browser is impossible. samw story with the contacts.

when adding a contact, the physical keyboard numeral input is messed up. i have to use the software keyboard every time i use browser, add a contact or want to type a symbol. the physical keyboard is the main feature of the device and i think it should be fixed first.

thank you

to clarify, the key modifiers work in the address bar but don't work anywhere else in the browser, like text boxs etc. didn't work in the google page, not working in this xda edit box i am typing in right now. also didn't work on other input boxes on websites.

i haven't been active here for quite some time (everythink looks different :D) so please excuse me if i'm asking this in the wrong place.

so, i got a new mk16i yesterday, and i'm thinking about flashing it very soon, and this rom looks promising.

now i have a few questions (since im lazy to read through 70ish pages of this thread):

how stable is this rom? (i was using an unstable beta of cm9 port on my old u20i for 6 months until yesterday)

are there any known bugs/issues/glitches?

which kernel should i use with it?

edit: and where should i get gapps?

thanks for your answers ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Emil Borconi:
For gapps: http://goo.im/gapps/

I'm rooting this phone and intending to put CM10 on it (for my customer). Does CM10 require bootloader unlocked? Can I just root it via OneClick? I know it's not that much ROM related, but I couldn't find the answer. Thanks! :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Drupry:
For every cm roms must have your bootloader unlocked!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ramazor:
Is there a specific way for for JB? Or I just:

1. Unlock bootloader (ICS needed for JB?)

2. Root via OneClick

3. Flash CM10

4. Flash Kernel?

Maybe I should ask you via PM :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Drupry:
Just unlock bootloader, flash kernel (every kernels in cm have root inside) then flash rom. I recomend lupus kernel (must flash wifi modules too)

If u want, we can talking via PM :)

The framework also needs to be recompiled to get USB mass storage working.

You could try to build the extended ROM/kernel yourself.
