Nice update. I also like the addition of AROMA. The only thing that bugs me, as from 4.4 I think, is the lockscreen rotation. Even when you turn it off it is still there. I read that installing the Xperia S lockscreen on post 1 (2 files) solves this but I end up in a bootloop flashing those files over the rom.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] madsponge26:
yes.. Xperia S lockscreen bootloops and bootlogo sometimes.. maybe its not compatible in version 5.. i used stock lockscreen but no luck but on screen buttons is working:D

Bootloop on locked BL with 5.0.... :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] uyo_kun:
well bootloop on choosing language, even i try using Xperia S or AOSP, it still bootloop... how can I get rid this bootloop... (using v5)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SkVergil:
FOR ALL THOSE GETTING BOOTLOOPS

I think it's not ROM related, more like kernel related.

I tried with ArcKnight 3.5 and I had the same problem.

Then searched for DooMLord's thread and flashed DoomKernel ICS v5. No more bootloops for me and I'm enjoying the best, smoothest and fastest JellySandwich yet! :D Try another kernel, it will fix the problem.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jithuelad:
Please share links for DoomKernel & WiFi modules for Arc s. Thanks in advance :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SkVergil:

In case someone has trouble with WIFI on doom's modules after booting the ROM, just reboot back to recovery and flash the modules again (for a second time), reboot to the ROM again and WIFI will be working.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Finalfour:
I always said for you, that doomkernel is the best for our ARC, best for battery life too. I can't understand, why you used arcknight kernel, which is not so battery friendly like doom kernel.

it seems lots of problem in 5.0 ,, waiting for maxio update and stable version :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tomatos:

now i enjoying the rom... thanks maxio :good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SkVergil:
Not really, 5.0 it's great! But you can't use ArcKnight :(

Update to 5.0 using another kernel, DooMKernel worked for many of us.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ezamry:
or try Xarc v2.0 kernel... :good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SkVergil:
You know, I've never tried Xarc kernel. In your personal opinion, is it one of the best around?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jotekman:
Been trying xArc, seems smooth, not quite as smooth as DoomKernel, and battery drain is a little bit more. Going to flash back.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ezamry:
not the best as doomkernel cause i also never use doom kernel... but for me xarc kernel is good & smooth compare to arcknight kernel...

about the battery drain it's depend on user usage.. i mean if u enable everything, etc : 3G on , high brightness + GPS on.. of cause it will drain our phone battery ;)

For people having problems with 5.0

People having issues with 5.0 should do the following

I had issues myself and tried everything but nothing seemed to work

(Optional step) Make a backup using an application such as Titanium Backup of all your user and system apps and data

1) Download Flashtool from here (or any other source)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000012

2) Download the .587 ftf from here (or any other source)

http://www.mediafire.com/?rhr59r4o6oarnfx

-NOTE- You will need a program that can extract .7z files to use the link above (7Zip or WinRar will work fine)

3) Flash the .587 ftf using flashtool

4) Flash the kernel of your choice - I use Lupus myself

5) Boot into CWM and flash Jelly Sandwich 5.0

6) If required flash the modules for your kernel - I would flash Lupus modules as I am using Lupus

7) After this, restart your phone, and restore any applications and data you may have backed up in the Optional Step

8) Enjoy your rom - hopefully :D I know mine's working now :)

@maxio1998 if this works for people, you might want to include it in your original post! :) great work by the way! :D

Quick question, is baseband 77 the best to use with LT15i?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jkjacek:
Maybe I didn't understand somebody in earlier posts but now i experienced it too.

I have lot of free space in on my phone.

Now I want to update my applications from market/google play. And what a surprise - during update Chrome appers message 'Packet file is invalid'. Then 'Low on space', 'Phone storage space is getting low', 'insufficient space'. The same situation with different applications. Reboot and the same. Such error is BLOKING. Have to revert to v 4.5. Waiting for stable rom.

I'm a programmer, I know how it works, know the pressure and competition.

But I know that releasing untested product always working against me.

Max, you are very good but slow down. Improve quality. Test few days then release :).

I n s t a l l a t i o n (if you are coming from another ROM):

1. Download ROM file and place it on SD card

2. Download and flash kernel you like (or not, if you have locked bootloader)

3. Download WiFi Modules of chosen kernel and place them on sdcard

4. Go to CWM Recovery.

5. Wipe data and cache!

6. Flash zip with ROM

7. Flash zip with WiFi modules

8. Reboot and enjoy!

I read this post.I have rooted my phone.Install CWM and flash this rom via CWM?What I wrong?I don't use other kernel.So i skip step 2,3.I on locked bootloader:eek:

Use flashtool to flash official Sony. 587 then use fastboot to flash your kernel again I'm using xarc 2.0 its seems quite good so far then you can flash jellysandwich again

Your bootloop should now be eliminated :D

How are you installing the Rom like the process your using and try xarc its what I'm using as clear bass on walkman works with that and it doesn't affect other things like game play where doom and trinity do for me "/

[Xperia Arc Android Development] radipta91:
well. I've tried with that kernel too, from your signature, and also I did a clean install, wipe factory reset, format system, format data, etc.

i dont think dat would be possible...for me when i first bought dis phone on the stock rom and kernel i literally had to charge it before even the day got over...so even if i get a battery life of arnd 12 hrs am more dan happy...especially because i have heavy phone usage including gaming and stuff...so i would say with moderate phone usage you could have a battery life of arnd 48 hrs i'e u'd have to charge it every other night(just guessing btw)...

Cant Installed rom (tried all options)

Hi, I got the ARC S a weak back, updated it to ICS via PC Companion. But found the phone to be lagging alot.

Saw your ROM and decided to flash the phone. I rooted the phone successfully with the "DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su" application, then installed the CWM autoinstaller from the Market and was able to get into the CWM Recovery. Followed your steps:

Wiped the Date/Factory Reset

Wiped the partition

then installed the Rom zip from the SD card

Installed the Wifi modules.

After I rebooted, the phone was stuck on the Sony screen for 10mins. Spent last night to recover and install is back into Stock GB. Then updated to ICS stock with PC Companion.

Retried the above method again and same results.

_______

After restoring the stock GB again, I rooted the device with "DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su" and installed the CWM with "SE_Extreme_Tweak_Installer_1.8", Then did the same steps to install the rom.

Wiped the Date/Factory Reset

Wiped the partition

then installed the Rom zip from the SD card

Installed the Wifi modules

.

I have been pulling my hair since the past 2 hours but nothing seems to work. Can you tell me where I am going wrong?

Would appreciate it.
