[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] JU57FL1P:
yeah... but apple is just sueing everyone... they havent actually invented anything sience their first pc-s and ipod... their OS is locked down like a ***** and if u even want bluetooth u have to pay... so... really... they should consider about sueing others.

but google started a lawsuit against apple, so we might be able to see some things happening.

Apple is just so damn afraid of losing their US market share
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] hkusp40cal:
Ok, even if you take anything at face value on that list... please someone explain how the Galaxy Tab could be on that list? Some one thought that was an Ipad? wtf...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] sgauge:
It surely violated the "rounded corners" patent, as well as some other design features Apple has "invented".
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] worldwithin:
The hypocritical apple

The thing I don't understand is how can they be so successful with their lawsuits, yet be so hypocritical in their philosophy?

Steve Jobs - 1996 "We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas."

Steve Jobs - 2010 "I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product"

So, in effect, it's perfectly fine for apple to steal someone else's ideas, but as soon as another company mimics their product, it is a crime against humanity...

They keep giving me reasons to never purchase one of their products...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] JU57FL1P:
I get really pissed if someone askes me do I have an I-pad... I don't really get apple... they are just scared of their market dropping... but thats not a reason to sue anybody....
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] panpjp:
Phew. My previous Galaxy Ace isn't going to be in Apple ‘s case.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wgoldfarb:
Please don't go to that website.

That website is not well liked around here, for many reasons. One, the information there is not very reliable. We get countless people who come here all the time because they bricked their phone by following that website's instructions. For another, the dev that runs that site often takes work from other devs and posts the work as his own without giving credit. As a small bit of advice, please remove the link to that website before you get flamed. The mention of that website stirs some strong emotions at xda! :)

sound

Hi all,

First of all congrats on this ROM. I've flashed it and it lives up to the OP, but I made some comparisons wiht the original stock one and it seems to me that the sond is just not that powerfull as in the original one. By sound I mean using a headset or bluethooht connection in my car's radio system. The bass just doesn't seem to be right as opposed to the stock ROM. Overall if I use the original music player in the stock ROM i'm very pleased with how it sounds. If I use your ROM which has a diferente music player I'm somehow dissapointed with the sound. I used off courese the same headset, the same car, and the same songs being played. This could of course be just me being picky but i'm just curious if anybody else feels the same. Other than that great job :)

Cheers,
[Xperia Arc Android Development] milanche:
Did you check if XLoud is enabled? Also, you can try playing with presets in equalizer.. Althought, ClearBass is not working, I asked ThilinaC to look into it.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] avicho:
does this rom works with the arc lti15 device?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] milanche:
I don`t think so, maybe with LT15i build.prop but not sure even for that..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spidermoon:
Nice rom. For me, clear bass works, don't expect big boom bass, it's not a Dr beat cure ;) but it's cleary gives deeper bass.

Missing SimToolKit (Stk.apk) and OfficeSuite, just reinstall from stock rom. On quick panel, screen time out, you can't see the time out.

I use Apex launcher since Sony Home gives only 4 rows for apps, but i have many FC with Xperia Home when i'm using phone app, so i freeze Xperia Home.

This rom gives a solid 3896 max Antutu score, with class 10 µSD card and i can play Asphalt 6, despite random touch screen problem :( but it's the same with stock 587.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] avicho:
Iv installed the Rom on Lti15 and it works:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] milanche:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] gpkumaran:

Dear "Developer" of this CWM Backup, i just have one Question! Can I Use this Backup as Base for my ROM? I Really

don't want to steal your work

, i have simply the Problem, that i can't use flashtool for flashing .587.... getting error always with every rom.. even SUS don't work.. the only way to get .587 is CWM... So, Can i Use? Trust Me,

i will give you credits

[Xperia Arc Android Development] milanche:
@jader13254

Of course you can use it. I didn't develop anything here, btw., so I take credits only for "cleaning" up a stock ROM.. If you keep any of the mods I've put in, make sure you credit developers as I did it in the OP.

P.s. Oh and please stop those silly fights with Jelly Sandwich developer. Just do your thing, don't provoke and don't let them provoke you.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jader13254:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] drali500:
Yes I changed it by using jb notification
[Xperia Arc Android Development] milanche:
Yes of course. You can, let's say, ask @theumad to give you his SystemUI.apk from his ROM and make notification bar look the same as in his ROM. You just put it to /system/app..

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Azrielem:
Hi,

I've recently acquired a Xperia Arc phone which was broken (stuck on the SE logo), which i've been able to fix using SEUS. After fixing it, i went on to root it and install CWM, and thought that as long as I was fixing the phone, removing all the bloatware would be nice, so i used your backup through CWM, and everything seemed to go smoothly...

My problem is that now the phone barely starts (it starts up, shows up "Sony Ericsson" in white for a few seconds, then it's a grayish screen). I can't seem to be able to boot into CWM either (since I obviously did a backup before installing your rom). When i connect my phone to SEUS, it tries to find update, says that my phone is already up to date, but doesn't offer to restore it as it did when it was first broken...

So obviously i'm not blaming anyone, I've tweaked with many of my Androphone, and if there's one thing I learned, it's that **** happens. I was just wondering if anyone had any clue as to what i could do ? Or is that gray screen supposed to happen ? After a few minutes of it, I thought that the phone might have a problem, so I pulled the battery out, is there any report of doing so ever being a problem ?

Thanks to anyone who could offer some light on my problem, and i'll come back if (when ?) I manage to fix this.

[EDIT] I was also wondering if I would be able to flash another rom through flashtool (by booting the phone in flashmode), thus fixing the boot process and allowing me to boot into CWM ? If so, is there any tutorial on this, because I can't seem to find any ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Azrielem:
Hi again, I've actually been able to flash another rom using flashtool, so my problem is solved :) still not sure what caused it though...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] milanche:
Glad you've solved your problem. Which ROM did you flash now?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Azrielem:
I think i flashed the official rom with android 4.0.4 (which received a little OTA update right after installing). Can't say for sure though since I lost the thread I used :) since the Xperia is not my device but merely one i was trying to fix for someone else, I'm not really familiar with everything concerning the development scene.

Deodexed

Rooted using OverLo4d's method

@milanche, if it's not too much to ask for one thing, pls make a flash able zip of all the changes in v2sou that those already using v1 can easily upgrade...

As most of the changes are ui oriented, don't think it's impossible..

Else you could give the corresponding apk files so that we can replace ourselves by root explorer or something like that..

Thank you..

Hi Milanche, I feels version 1 is still better feels faster. Version 2 lacks of quick panel for power widgets control.

1. but i saw that the unlimitd boost contains some scripts regarding supercharger.. so i think it may interfere with the one already in ur rom.. am i right or can i install that without any prob??

2. also, other than supercharging,the unlim boost conains some other tweeks which seem to work(may ppl appreciating it in xda).. so pls look into it and add it in the next release if they are worthy...

if they`ll interfere, then pls mod it if possible so that we can use the other useful tweeks in the script...

4. if i am not mistaken, i think milanche told theme support has been removed in v2.1
[Xperia Arc Android Development] milanche:
Yes, that's correct, themeing takes up some RAM. If you need it you can get theme support back by extracting theming apk from v1 and pasting it into system/app (also correct permissions)..

2. Maybe I will, but probably not before next week because I'm busy as hell this one..
