Hi, I'm a bit new to the forums and in tweaking with my phone.

I just want to know if there is a way to disable the HOME BUTTON when in sleep mode so it doesn't wake the phone up.

But i want it to retain its original function as HOME BUTTON.

And another thing, would it be possible to assign a RECENT APPS BUTTON, for example on the CAMERA SHUTTER KEY?

How would I do that if its possible?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajaydsantos:
I need some help again guys.

I've solved my problem with accidental pocket unlocks with the help from someguyfromhell.

Only thing I want to know if there is someone who can help me change the function of some hardware buttons of my phone.

Most specifically, adding a RECENT APPS button just like the one used on on-screen navigation.

I don't really need the shutter key of my ARC S, so I'm thinking of assigning it there or utilizing the MENU BUTTON

because some apps already have those 3-dot button which opens up the menu. (I'm not sure if it's the same for other apps though)

Can someone help me with this?

Would really appreciate your help and thanks in advance. :)

First post here :)

Finally after the warranty got expired I bite the bullet and unlocked my Xperia Pro bootloader.

I've been trying several popular kernels and ROMs and finally settled up with Zelly Cream + Lupusv10.

Phone is running reasonably stable, supercharger v6 does help the low memory problem.

Right now, there are several glitches though, such as wrong MTP icon on PC and messed up text on permissions .:confused:

Anyway, Nice to met you all. :highfive:

They repaired that to...not a really clean work but the display was working...and here's the thing, it was working but the phone only booted, then it remianed stucked. Then i tried to reboot it, i took of the baterry and tried to turn it on again, but it took me a while and tried severeal times to power it on again...And after a while, it didn't even turn on...i push the power button, the phone vibrates and that's all :|

I flashed the phone using the Sony Update Service Setup and it worked...But the phone won't start ...

The same problem, power button>vibrates>that's it..And the notification led just at the begining(pressing the button) flashes shortly once

I don't know wath to do ?!? Could it be the battery or the display?

The phone was not rooted or anything of this type ...

Wi-fi problem

Hi everybody, I have some problems with wi-fi.

I've just installed PAC rom version 22.3.0 (4.2.2.) with kernel Fusion 5.5.

The rom works fine, but wi-fi does not turn on.

In "Xperia Arc Android Development" section ([Kernel] FusioN v5.5 [JB 4.1/JB 4.2/MIUI V5] [27-4-13] forum) I read that deleting old modules folder in system and reflashing kernel sometimes may help.

Can anybody explain me how to do this?

Thanks a lot!

I've tried with the kernel inside the .zip and with other kernels (Fusion 5.5).

So, for instance, I want to install P.A.C. rom for Arc S: I download the .zip of the rom and the Gapps. I put both the .zip in my SD card.

Then I take the boot.img from the .zip and put it into the "FastbootGUI-beta" folder (tool for falshing kernel - working). Then I flash the kernel (modules in the kernel), reboot in recovery and:

wipe data

wipe cache

In mounts and storage:

format cache

format data

format system

Then I flash the rom and the Gapps, go to advanced and do a "wipe dalvik cache" and reboot.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revan17:
My GF got the Arc S and it's started misbehaving lately(running stock GB, not-rooted) and she's finally gonna let me play with it, fix it I mean. :P

Since I never had this phone, I need some advice, since there's tons of kernel/ROMS available. The bootloader is unlockable so customs kernels are an option. I don't need anything fancy, no gaming will be done on the device. What I need is something along these guidelines:

- preferably ICS or JB because I wanna Greenify resource hogging apps like Facebook and similar. Does this phone run ICS ok? (I'm sceptical because of RAM)

- stable, non-overclocked kernel

- preferably stock FW based

- data, wifi, camera and fm radio must be working

From browsing the forums I thought of picking UltimateHD ROM but I don't know which kernel, please recommend. Also, if you have any other options, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangosierra_:
Ultimately its up to you because everyone has different preferences, try them all and see which suits your gf best, If you want ultimate HD any stock based kernel will do (eg lupus v14, vengeance etc), it'll be stated in title which android version the kernel is for. If you really want a recommendation I've only tried jelly sandwich and ultimate HD (I'm a CM person) and my personal preference is the latter though both are excellent. But like I said different people will have different opinions.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revan17:
From what I've seen in the Ultimate HD thread, the creator recommends the Lupus kernel, so I'll try that combo first. Also, how would you rate overall performance of the Ultimate HD ROM? Does it suffer from launcher redraws and other issues due to low RAM(ICS is very resource hungry)? Or have the devs managed to tweak it the hell out of it?

Also, do you know does unlocking the bootloader break Bravia on this phone? It does on my Xperia S. It's no biggie, I'm just curios.

So I tried installing this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2095361&page=41

I followed every step, I just didn't get a kernel because I thought I already had a JB.(still think). so that might have been the issue.

anyways, it went into bootloop. that's the first time it happened to me, so I totally panicked. tried accessing CWM, wiped cache, system, etc. tried installing another rom that was on SDcard, nothing. tried installing a firmware I had and ended up erasing CWM and i'm now stuck on a SONY screen. is there any I way I can still fix it?

Hello! I'm having a problem with my xperia arc S, I tried to install a ROM (ULTIMATE HD 3.1) but I didn't have the wifi modules, so my phone got stuck on boot, so I figured that I got a bootloop, and went to flash the kernel (562), root again again and flash the new kernel (587) to try and install the ROM again, but the phone didn't root, but I have the .587 kernel and can't flash it back to .562, I can't figure what's the problem the flashtool says it's flashed but in setting the "compilation number" just says that it has the new kernel.

So my problem is how can I flash back to .562 and root the phone? I already tried this a few times (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2118343), but it dosen't work. what else can I do?

I try to install MaxWorks's Multilang MIUI rom from this thread:

but all I get is a blank screen after the Fusion logo :(

I think somehow I managed to mess up something on my phone because I had installed older versions of this rom (from the same thread) without problems...

I had installed 3.5.10 Multilang version without an isuue, but when I tried to update yesterday to 3.6.14 the phone stayed on blank screen after the Fusion logo for over 15 minutes so I took the battery out in order to unstuck

I did install couple of times, every time full wipe, but the problem is not gone....

In order to have my phone work I updated to 3.6.14 version from miuiandroid.com, BUT when I tried to install it I got the [assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") =="anzu"] issue

I googled it and found the solution to modify the updater-script file, removing the first line on the file

Now I managed to install miuiandroid.com's version but I really want to go back to MaxWorks's version....

any thoughts??

I hope someone has an answer, I have read many forums but have not found the cure.

And alot of other users have the same issue and have given up.

I have a LT18A arc s I have tried many roms and kernels (viper,ultimate HD,Atomic GB,LUPUS,vengeance,rush,doomkernel,KTG)

all these stock based kernel/roms all work fine.

But when I try any FXP based roms/kernels my touch screen will not work or after many reboots it might work.

I have flashed with flashtool back to original Sony roms and tried many times even tried the new 3.xx kernels but they are based on FXP.

I have tried CM7.2, CM9 CM10 Racing Bean 3.1 AOKP

I captured a dmesg with the following results

7>cy8ctma300_touch_init: V1.00 built Apr 6 2013 22:15:40

<7>cy8ctma300_touch_init: module init, result=0

<3>cypress_touchscreen spi0.0: cy8ctma300_touch_worker: Error Invalid detected=5

A FXP dev said it could be my touchscreen firmware is not up to date so I checked with the xperia service menu and got 0x35 0x30 0x03

is this the latest touch firmware ?
