Bought a leather flip case for my Arc S today.

Disabled the hardware buttons on the front and started using the onscreen buttons, the case presses home button quite easy, so screen turned on often. Doesn't happen anymore :)

Found a pic on Google, too lazy to make one myself.

I always have a Gel case on my phone. I have a white phone, and I would want it to be that way for years to come. ;)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panicc.co:
Naked. I have dropped my arc numerious times with case and with out both have equal damage to the device so now naked.

Btw I have dropped it from 22ft with no case and all I got was a small impact mark on the bottom left corner. (I'm a framer. Dropped off roof)

I had the barely there case on my phone but the bottom kept on getting scratched so after a few months I was like 'fack it' and now rock it naked lol. If it's got scratches, might as well just enjoy the phone with no case on :)

I am only using the screen protector as only thing to protect my phone, because for this phone , it is a nice body, so if i just cover it , then it will look stupid.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dryft4eva:
I once bought a black plastic jacket case for my arc. The kind that doesn't encase the top end and bottom. It was pretty nice and it used it for about a month and it broke at the edge coz it's very thin.

Then i bought an orange hard plastic jacket. Didn't last long either. So i gave up and i don't use a case anymore. They don't sell high quality cases for arcs at my place. It's such an underrated phone. They only pay attention to the high-end models like GSIII and apple products. :/

I have the leather flip case but its pretty useless, it didnt sit in it well, could come out easily, then i dropped it and the bottom plastic housings broke, so it was more likely to fall out, plus it annoyed me how fat it was, and the camera got a part of the leather case in view, i dont use it anymore, much better without! :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OsiBasi:
I've got a both a Gel case (white) (which has turned blue from being in my pocket duh)

I use the hard Nillkin case. has a stand built in and all. Great protection too
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turnaround:
I had a flip case until yesterday. There is no question about flip cases protects the phone way better than anything considering it covers both sides of the phone. But it makes it look bulky and so I purchased another gel case almost same like this. (But it has matte finish on the backside) It looks good but the cover is so tight that sometimes its edges are peeling off the screen protector.

Also generally gel cases are not really good at protecting the phone from screen cracks incase phone falls down and hits the ground.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBlackHoleFR:

Theres no point in spoiling the beauty of the Arc by a case..

I use the Screen Protector though....

Screen of my Xperia arc has got many tiny scratches, i never had any screen cover on my Motorola Droid , but Xperia screen is not as good. If i have to change the screen is it possible to change just outer glass
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Your screen is scratching easily because there is a screen protector on it. If you don't believe me then look really closely and you will see a tiny layer over it. As far as I know every xperia arc comes with a screen protector on it by default.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] om22:
i have a blue TPU/Gel case and i like it cuz my arc fits and holds better in my hand with it (not so slippery :p).

Also i have removed the factory applied screen protector and the glass under it is...fantastic! Used it without the protector since 6-7 months and no scratch! I never put it into my pocket with keys or something.

[HTC Rezound] InversedTech:
A friend of mine has a Rezound, completely stock, and unrooted. He was having network issues with it so I told him to update it to ICS, since I know the update came out a few days ago. Every time he tries to install the update, the same OTA message comes up, and it re downloads the update, and it does the same thing when it downloads again. So I told him to do a factory reset and try to update it again, but the same thing happened. So my question is, is there any way to install the update without having to mess around in the recovery? I know HTC phones are tricky when it comes to that sort of stuff, and all my experience has had to do with Samsung Android devices so far.
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
What exactly is happening when it downloads?
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
Just download the RUU file and update that way. Warning though, it will wipe his phone.
[HTC Rezound] InversedTech:
When it prompts him for the update, he accepts it, and it downloads. When it finishes downloading, it prompts him again on what the update is about, and it downloads again.
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
Just to be sure are they the same update? The ota comes as two different packages. One gets it ready the second is the ics update
[HTC Sensation] enoler:
Hi! I flashed HyperNonSense v3.3 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1581619) and I don't know if this rom is AOSP, AOKP...

So, I don't know what kernel I have to flash, for example, bricked kernel or bricked kernel AOSP version.

What kernel is the best to that rom?

Thank you

INDEX

ABSTRACT

The present document pretends to guide the noobs and not so noobs in their flashing / modding / theming way. It covers what the team thought is the basic stuff you should be in knowledge of and may be the most helpful. Any suggestions about the contents or stuff that you think should be included are welcomed, just let us know.

Guide Index

1.

Basic Stuff

: In this section you will find the common language that is related to Android / HTC Ace devices. This is fundamental for you to understand how things work.

2.

Rooting

: THIS IS OUT OF SERVICE...CHECK THE UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER TOOL IN PARAGRAPH 4

3.

Fixing a messed bootloader

: You are not good at listening advices or reading for comprehension. You flashed a froyo RUU or hboot in your GB shipped device? Thank God attn1 was around. This is the Hboot fix for you. All credits go for the Hack Kit Channel devs. I have not done anything but put it here

4.

HTCDEV tool

: So far, this is the best and only way to do the flashing stuff....

5.

Unrooting

: In case you need to take your phone to the service centre or lost your mind and want the stock rom back (is there anybody that actually does? :cyclops:) ) you will find everything you need to know here.

6.

Flashing roms

: The right steps to flash successfully a custom rom…you can´t miss it. If you do, then you haven´t read carefully.

7.

Doing / Restoring a nandroid backup

: In case you mess it or you don't like what you get on a new rom, a nand backup is what will save your A**. Follow the path and you will see the light at the end of the tunnel.

8.

Radio / RILs

: All the radio / RILs related issues, follow this or you will regret it!!

9.

Kernels

: Everything you always wanted to know about kernels but you didn't dare to ask. Links on line now..:silly:

10.

Trouble shooting

: I guess this will be the most visited section of the guide. OF COURSE YOU DIDN´T READ THE ABOVE. NOW YOU ARE HERE BUDDY FIX YOURSELF A GOOD READ :mad:

11.

Customization

: For those who would like to start customizing your devices, here you will find a good point of start but THIS IS JUST THE BEGUINNING :cool:[/QUOTE]

12.

Battery drain issues

: I HAVE FLASHED A NEW ROM AND MY BATTERY IS DRAINING WAY TO FASSSSSST!. Well that could be normal, just read and learn before you run out of battery...lol

[Desire HD General] hdorius:
FAQ & Notice

FAQ :

What Is the Best Battery,Performance GB/ICS/JB ROM?

There is no best ROM, the opinion of each ROM is different from one person to the other, it is subjective.

Is there a recommended Radio for ROM x?

There isn't a recommended radio for any ROM, since the Radio depends where you live, it is best to test each one for a few days to see which one works best for you.

Can I Flash RIL For AOSP ROM?

No, the RIL is sense based ROM,AOSP RIL is provided in the ROM

How Can I Boot in Recovery/Bootloader if My Volume Rocker is Broken?

You must setup adb and then the command:

adb reboot recovery/bootloader

Why Don't We Have Any OFFICIAL CM9 ROM?

Because the CM team always makes everything work (camera, camcorder, etc) and since we don't have the kernel 3.0 source, there isn't any OFFICIAL CM ROM from them.

Is There Any Official Rooted Sense 3.0 ROM?

Yes, There it is

Notice when Posting On the Dev Thread :

Please Read the First Post, It Usually Stated What's Working and Not Working

Don't Post Any THANKS, just use the thanks button

Don't Even Ask ETA of the ROM, the ROM will update when it's ready

Full Wipe Is Recommended when Updating the ROM, but also can try it without (this is basic,even if it's not stated on 1st post)
[Desire HD General] Andy:
ADB is easy, very simple to use. Its the CLI interface that most cannot get used to and are afraid of.

A great XDA guide/overview on ADB here. --> [GUIDE] ADB - Usage, Tips, Tricks and More!
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
After a full wipe including sd card, to restore a backup mount sd card to pc, create the folder "clockworkmod/backup" place backup there - unmount, flash.

Is there a way to flash a backup using adb? If yes, do the folders need to be created or not and what would the command be? I couldn't find an answer for that.

Edit: Answer is no. Why? I have no clue. :p

[Desire HD General] glevitan:
ok, I will start tonight at home....let's start from the beguining...we can not forget the section...Can I mess my bootloader for not reading? YESSSSS...hahahaha
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
Just will have to wait for his reply. Wanna help glevitan with finding relevant threads? Pm these if you find links. I.e. not able to boot, bricked, qsoad or whatever error and so forth. The more comolete the better.

Looking good. It would also be nice to add in a different post tips for porting/rom dev or whatever it is you know to do :D

I'll search to see if I can find anything.

[Desire HD General] glevitan:
Guys I am working on the Ace guide...is quite ambitious so it will probably need a good review before seeing the light!....Will send u the document in a couple of hours!....:good:
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
ok, before sending the file via PM, I can answer you...there's no choice of restoring a backup from adb. That is the same as flashing a Custom Rom....those files are packed in a certain way that won't be possible to be flashed in hboot (PD98IMG.zip) way.
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
Thanks bub, so no can do. I don't believe in 'no can do's :cool:

Did you read my question about the hboot interface in the other thread? This, and the above question is simply a language (which I know absolutely nothing about) - there must be a way to get them talking to each other.

Sent from a dream.
[Desire HD General] hdorius:
I'm from Indonesia mate, my first language is Indonesian... But i also know English, so i think i dont have any problem with it...

And regarding to the FAQ, you said that it needs to some correction... And you want me to add some porting guide on it?
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
Anything you like really, it's your show. Porting? There are plenty guides for that. If you know any good ones I can link them in the third post. Can you look through the ones I posted to see which are good and if there are any ones that are repetitive or if there are better ones than the ones I posted? Especially the flashable zip link, since I don't know anything about that, maybe there is a betrer one or a guide or a tool for it?

I'll pm you in about 20 minutes.

Sent from a dream.
[Desire HD General] hdorius:
I found a good link, it should be added in third post
