Bootloop

Hi Maxio, i'm getting bootloop on 5.0. I have the 4.5 version and when i flashed the 5.0 the phone optmized the apps and started the system, but after 3 secs the phone get back to the boot gif animation. What i can do, i don't want lost my data. Thanks. Oh i'm using the knight kernel from your link
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mrmike7:
I had the same issues but after I installed the DooMKernel v05. In CWM I did a factory reset and wiped everything I could find then installed the Jelly_Sandwich_5.0_maxio1998_awesome_signed.zip then rebooted back to CWM and installed the ARC-DooMKernel-ICS-v05-modules_CWM.zip and did the final reboot everything came up good (so far).

I don't know if it was anything to do with the kernel or just the

thorough cleaning before install

but now it works!....I'll test another kernel later maybe.....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jotekman:
Just got my Arc S. Unlocked the bootloader with Omnius (worked great 1st time btw).

Installed inFamous Kernel then JS 5.0. Seemed okay, but laggier than stock ICS. Then tried ArcKnight 3.6 with reinstall of JS 5.0. Doesn't even start after the Arcknight splash screen. Now tried with Arcknight 3.5.1 with JS 5.0. Seems to be working fine. P.S. the lockscreen install caused a bootloop as did the JS modtools.

Anyone have any suggestions as to which kernel is working well with 5.0 for them? THanks :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] calage1234:
Yeah man, but i don't make a factory reset, i don't want lost my data :(

@maxio

Sir there seem to be a bug.

1. when I connect to PC, cant access phone sd card if USB debugging is ON.

2. when I connect to PC, PCC detects my phone is xperia RAY st18? lol

3. when Im trying to add a wallpaper to SD card, albums cannot detect it.

4. And lastly After doing this 3 steps above. it suddenly bootloops! thank god I installed CWM so I just reinstalled it again,.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] b_nikz:
Alright guys!! Just tested the 5.0 and it ran fine!! without any major issues!!! very small minor bugs or maybe even those too due to User installation errors but the fact is the Max has worked really well with the 5.0..

Personally i liked the 4.2 better due to its layout yet so my daily operating ROM will still be the 4.2 but for those who want the 5.0 its very well done...

Edit: Have tweaked and customised 5.0 to my preferences and configuration so i think i'll stick to 5.0 for now ;) ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kotty:
(Apps2SD - apps will install directly on SD card )..this seem doesnt work for me? did i need to configure something to let it work?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] francisdsa:
Kindly include option for apps to SD EXT partition. i am running out of space for installing apps. Please also try make an OTA updater for the ROM. installing the ROM every few days after backing up is a pain.

Do I need to use CWM to format system?

XArc by Sirkay. Arc Knight 3.6 in fact doesn't even work.

Yes before installing Zip from CWM. specially if you BL is Locked.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vito8916:
maybe you installed the GX launcher and widgets that don't work for this.

Try replacing lanucher the Xperia S. homeadd.apk and home.apk

Or try it this flash zip with GX widget GX widgets zip flash

Did you do this in CWM before installing ZIP:

Wipe data / Factory Reset

Wipe Cache Partition

Wipe Dalvik Cache < do this too

Wipe Battery stats (i think this is optional)

Mount and storage:

/Format System

Omg Sir Maxio, I dont know why but when I reboot the phone just to check the CWM menus, it suddenly BOOTLOOPS.

Odd bug cannot get GPS lock with google dependent services.

Clean install with a locked bootloader.

Baseband .562

Kernels tested .562 and .431 and just tested .568

However GPS Toolbox reports getting signals from 6+ sats. But never a lock.

Not sure if this is a known bug.

- In the change log I see a GPS tweak is that a gps.conf tweak or something else. You may be able to revert it.

I think that was problem with what do you choosing app for AROMA.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] b_nikz:
Yes you can...i am currently on DoomKernel.....though i would say that the 4.2 gives a better battery life and performance...atleast thats what i realised since last nite since i installed 5.0...

FOR THOSE WHO GOT IT INSTALLED RIGHT A version of the Notification LED fix patch is on https://www.dropbox.com/s/aslu071i6idakl9/Notification_Led_Fix_Patch_4.1.B.0.587.zip...just download and install via CWM..

This patch sometimes removes the reboot option from the power menu, if it does download and install the Reboot Mod: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8yfvcbhxx6gmvwp/Reboot_Mod_bnikz.zip to get it back and also get another option in the power menu ;) ;)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] MaxFTW:
Also all the mods don't match V6, I don't know why. ;) Will fix it

Themes are bloatware. Covers should be displayed if they are placed with music on SD. If not, use Walkman's feature which downloads covrs and info.

I'll have to fix that and make a flashable zip. I'm gonna work on this today.

Nice! :)

Use Root Browser and find via it in system/app JB Keyboard. Delete it and install your keyboard. In next release there will be Xperia keyboard, because most of users don't like AOSP one.

Yup, I'm gonna fix that. :)

Maybe, it'll help. Anyway, I'm gonna try to fix that.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] MaxFTW:
It's bloatware, but if you want I can make it an add-on. Do you want to get such an add-on? :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] MaxFTW:
I've just started fixing all the broken crap!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sanandreas12:

Can we have flashing method same As last time or a zip thru Cwm . I have never flashed using fast boot. I am on locked booloader. Is the Google play problem fixed.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] flippy12:
Yeh, thx for the flash method :)

Is there the e-mail app inside ? I didn't find it in the previous version.

I don't consider mail as a bloatware, as it's very useful, but at least, could you add it as add-on ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] MaxFTW:
Google Play bug fixed, WiFi works on stock kernel. You flash the ROM like kernel via fastboot. I am not sure if it is possible to flash system.img with locked bootloader. I have unlocked it right after I purchased arc S. Just try and give feedback.

I tried xArc Kernel as you suggested Maxio, and it was great and smooth. Only Problem was that I couldn't get wifi to work no matter what I did. Now trying Doomkernel in the meantime. Thanks for the suggestion! Don't know what I did wrong.

By the way, just tried to update superuser from Play with the DoomKernel and superuser stopped working and FC'ed until I uninstalled the update. Just FYI.

p.s. in my original GB rom that came with the phone, there was a nifty little widget that had favorites and recent calls in it. is that not available for ICS?

I did a CWM backup in these condition:

- I formated and deleted all that I can,

- installed JS 5.0 with the default Aroma options:

- Launcher= Xperia GX Home, Statusbar= GX Style, Lockscreen=Xperia stock, Apps= [ES file manager, Talk, Walkman, XS keyborad, I added Titanium backup], Misc= Camera Mod, Removed widget= any

I zipped the result, unzip it and paste to your favorite CWM backup folder:

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0ByPxzaL-DFwzbk9hNkZoa1ZLNU0

[Edit] Be careful, I had an empty partition ext4, I think that it should not impact you if you don't have one.

-> If you have already have a partition ext4 with data, be sure to have a backup, because it will replace it.

=> It's the 1st time I do this for someone else, please tell me if it's work fine...

I did mention earlier about 2 things which were not working correctly in 4.5 ver

- 2g/3g toggle (status bar)

- dialpad were not stretched properly when LCD density was changed from oryginal valu 240 to exp.200

Now both those things has been fixed, but personally I would love to have old ICS Dialer style with tabs dialpad / contacts / callslog instead of the one the rom comes with and when instaling ICS Dialer theme the stretching issue comes back, How can I solve this and at the same time have ICS Dialer / style / theme?
