Probably it's cm10 and belive me there is no such thing as broken h/w composer on tab2(i own one), cm builds for this tab are one of the most stable I've ever seen(after the nexus phones)

[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
I don't own a tab 2 or any tablet for that matter :p

On my I9100, CM roms are way too buggy, thanks to Samsung and development on its PITA so I assumed it might be another device from Samsung with a broken h/w composer :D

[Galaxy S II General] X8invisible:
Nope, tab2 has TI OMAP, something similar to what's inside the galaxy nexus and I9100G

also tried the installer-updater thingy, but it's still not working.

maybe it's a bootloader problem?

Disclaimer: I'm not responsible if your phone spontaneously combusts, gives you a heart attack, or falls from your hands due to how shockingly fast it is.

I claim no responsibility for any damage that may be done to your phone due to negligence of reading the OP and failure of following directions ​

Now I've been tweaking computer systems for a few years now and I've decided to put that experience to work on the Android platform. It is a shame that Stock ICS lags on our Arc S given the cpu and gpu that it has. The phone has potential, but is imminently bogged down by cruddy I/O's. Therefore I've researched and experimented various tweaks on our device with one goal in mind, to optimize the OS for smoothness and speed while maintaining stability and keeping battery drain to a mininum at the same time.

(sound like a challenge?)​

I present to you Sparta Charge, the Rom that brings your device to its fullest potential.

Here is the breakdown on some of the features.

==================================================

==================================================

Changelog V1.2 (29th Oct)

Optimized the GPU

Tweaks taken to the next level

Locked bootloaders now get all of the optimizations

Updated apps

Enabled Emoj fonts - thanks iridaki

Fixed Wifi disconnects (Wifi battery saving tweaks were too agressive)

Removed disabled data notification

Enabled data enabled notification

==================================================

==================================================

Changelog V1.1 (16th Oct)

Fixed android acore process fc when uninstalling apps

Reverted back to stock .587 dialer

Updated some parameters

Tweaks refined

Fixed faulty script

I/O buffers stabilized

More aggressive WiFi battery savings

Patched SemcPhone (2G/3G toggle now works)

WOW!

A new rom, i'm so excited how it will be!!!:laugh:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] madsponge26:
another dev.. testing time.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Patambiz:
Great.. lemme test it.. walkman by acid is great...

Any recommended kernel you test on?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] StateOfMind1976:
No Aroma installer?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] randi_mahage:
Please screen shoot free RAM :)

To many custom rom from stock 587 firmware,

so i think for easy to know rom faster and minim lag from free RAM on running program :)

If free ram above 200 MB, this rom certainly faster and smooth :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] foued1994:
Bootloop =(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] randi_mahage:
Your device lock or unlock bootloader ???

What your follow Instructions Before flashing zip do the following in CWM :

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

go to mounts and storage

format /cache

format /data

format /system

format /vendor

go to advanced

Wipe Dalvik Cache

I'm downloading now this rom,

And i hope not get bootloop too,

I will report performance this rom if i success install this rom :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dolkic:
this ROM works on locked BL?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Master of Bisaster:
Of course

yes, it does, cuz it doesn't need a custom kernel installed
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mr.Doc:
will see the review before testing it
[Xperia Arc Android Development] daniLaLaLaLaLa:

can lt15i flash this rom?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] XtremeSilencer:
DuDe I have tested and this is a real awesome rom man its smooth and fast but this is not the time to release ics roms

this is the time to release jelly bean featured rom

but still thanxxx for your rom!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
Working on lt15i with lupus v7. Very smooth and fast, though I've hardly any apps restored yet... Still seems very quick though.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] n3n00:
Yeah wifi is the most annoying thing, signal reception is lower than on GB, and sometimes it just randomly turns off even if I'm ~1m from the router. But I thought it's ICS problem.

If anything could be done to improve wifi strength it'd be great.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SuperMari064:
Its the wifi battery saving tweaks, I'll put less aggressive ones in the next update.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gechu:
First Id like to say thank you for your fine work!

And now my in to my questions:

1. Noticed that the rom contains facebook related apps, as well as some Xperia related ones (sync, galleri..). Would it be possible to handle those as and-ons?

2. You recommended to use the modified stock kernel. I miss the smartass2 scheduler which is present in Lupus stock kernel. What's your comment on that kernel?

3. I found four different powershift scrips, which one is default in your rom?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SuperMari064:
No problem, I just wanted to get my phone running ICS the right way.

For now those apps will be included in the rom, but when I get aroma working on this they will optional.

The lupus stock kernel is good, but the stock kernel gives very similar performance with better battery life.

The default powershift script in the rom is the Ledded one.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gechu:
One more thing. In the aroma installer please make AC!D sound optional. I've had issues with it, and I assume the upsampling must have a negative effect on battery life as well.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DemonicHawk:
Finally got around to installing this on my Arc (non-s), had to flash the Arc-S firmware first to get it to work. Just as many have said, this is very fast and has great battery life, though I had to spend a good 20 minutes in Titanium Backup removing all of the apps I didn't need (Bloatware as some call it).

I also replaced the status bar, since I needed something with a clock.

If the next version is going to have the Aroma Installer, it would be nice if there was a "bare minimum" option.

All in all, great work, will be using this as my daily driver for the next while.

The Best Rom In ICS so far..THIS IS SPARTA !!!!

Hei 1 suggestion..

Plz Remove ACiD Engine and try Including DSP manager..

This would be gr8..

Thanks!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SuperMari064:
It will be optional when this rom gets aroma :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] n3n00:
Don't forget 30stepvolume :).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Destroyedbeauty:
Don't forget to add an remove notification button in the status bar :D it's annoying to have all those notifications about Inactive network and whatnot in the status bar without option to remove them.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] n3n00:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] spideras:
Mario thats perfectttttt iam waiting for you to upload the new rom :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kaz93:
for those who used this rom, may i ask which is faster and have more battery life?..this or ultimate hd v2?

For me its this one...i have try the ultimate and its very good but i prefer this one

[Xperia Arc Android Development] adamka13:
Can I use xperia s locksreen and small apps on 1.2 ?? :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] n3n00:
Probably yes.

@SuperMari064 reboot option in powerprompt next release?

Also you removed "data disabled" but now "data enabled" appears :).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jader13254:
Well i think "data enabled" is better than "data disabled" because so you get a warning and you say "OMG 5€ /MB my data must go off NOW"

I hate the data disabled notification! So useless :) i'll also enable data enabled notification instead oof
[Xperia Arc Android Development] irononreverse:
The problem with the data enabled notification is that my mobile data is always enabled. I'd only disable it under certain, rare circumstances so having a notification on all the time would be an annoyance.

[edit] Never mind, just installed 1.2 and the data enabled notification can be swiped away.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SuperMari064:
Yes, I'm also thinking about adding reboot to recovery too, don't worry that new notification was intentional

Yes it should work

Yup I hated that notification it had to go, the data enabled one is much more useful :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] irononreverse:
Any chance of having dark themed calender and email in this rom?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SuperMari064:
Maybe, I'm currently working on other things right now.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DjayZiro:
Walkman ClearBass

wow, this one really is fast.

i'm testing it for the 3rd day and i really like the combination of apps+available backgrounds and overall UI speed.

i only have one question, i noticed that AC!D is on version 1 when V4 is already available? my only issue is that i hate the auto volume leveling when listening to music and you boost the clearbass. it keeps bass but lowers the remaining frequencies (to avoid distortion)

but when i tested Ultimate HD rom, when i flashed the ThilinaC 7.5 walkman, it gave me the bass boost feature and let me tell you guys, it was the best sound experience ever, it boosted the bass in a very silky way AND it kept the remaining frequencies and all this with zero distortion!!!!!!!

now, i've tried to flash the same package (THC 7.5) but it gave me only the regular equalizer without clearbass.

in the end i had to reflash the whole system again because after attempting to re-flash the 4.0 AC!D (to "revert" to an original setup in a lazy way) the sound enhancements kept FC when selected.

QUESTION:

what is the most up to date package that i can flash on this ROM? THC 7.5? AC!D 4.0? or should i leave the file structure to its original state, letting go of the massive clear bass and sound that i had when using Ultimate HD ROM?

other than this, congrats for a very, very responsive ROM!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SuperMari064:
Flashing another walkman package will conflict with the one in the Rom so it's best to leave it as it is. AC!D 4.0 has a few bugs so I'm waiting for the final 5.0 version.

Sent from my Sparta Charged Arc S
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DjayZiro:
thank u for the prompt response, i was actually still insisting on finding a solution, but i'll stick to the original one!

reflashing everything again :silly:

Download link not working at the moment :confused: :crying:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ashishhegde007:
Hei i tried sparta charge 1.2..

and one suggestion..if u could add xperia home with preference settings it would be awesome..

and acid engine is not working at all..there is no equalizer to control it..

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SuperMari064:
You can flash one of those launchers from the theme and apps section, I like to keep it clean. AC!D is working just use the equalizer in walkman.

Sent from my Sparta Charged Arc S
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kaz93:
if i flash another launcher will it affect the tweaks that you implemented..such as supercharger? and the ondemand-deadline combo sure is fast but i felt that my phone drain battery quite fast
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SuperMari064:
Nope, flashing a launcher will not affect the tweaks at all, as for the battery drain, you might want to flash the stock firmware then install the Rom again, cause I get a full day with moderate use.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SuperMari064:
New High Score!

Upcoming preview of V1.3

Ran on completely stock kernel, no overclock, no CWM, nothin... :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] n3n00:
Will you do some UI requests like "Clear" button in notification bar etc.?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SuperMari064:
I don't know much about editing layouts maybe you can ask someone to do that for you

EDIT-

Updated instructions in the OP

LT18i users do not need to flash baseband 77 libs

Both the libs for the LT18a and LT18i are exactly the same

However the baseband ftfs are slightly different so make sure you have the one for your device for best signal
[Xperia Arc Android Development] catapult1234:
Great update!

Enjoying your rom even more! :)

Cheers
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kaz93:
May i suggest including zram in your rom in your next release? I can confirm that with zram my phone become smoother especially in scrolling in xperia launcher..can others try it as well and give their feedback? thanks

Edit:

Please ignore what i just said, i just notice that zram is quite a battery drainer..it might not be worth to be out of juice faster while having very little performance increase..sorry
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SuperMari064:
And its only gonna get better :D

Yeah it works, but it isn't worth it, its best to keep from using it
[Xperia Arc Android Development] malih16:
This is a really good ROM, I helped my friend flashed it on his phone and I like how you have tweaked the ROM, but I haven't personally flashed it on my phone yet,

Seeing as your original goal is to optimize the stock ICS rom, will you be considering releasing a tweaked stock ROM like this one, but placing additional app (like Walkman, AC!D mod maybe others) in add-on zip.

I'm not complaining, I just want to know if it's possible, if not that's fine too :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SuperMari064:
When I get this rom working with aroma, then it will be an addon.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spideras:
This one has already the apps mentioning... :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] deniel:
While waiting the JS 8.0 im trying this and well done really stable and smooth :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hungragezone:
I think u should remove some bloatwares such as timescape, fb inside and others that i don't remember exactly

and change status bar to another mod which allow people can see time and have clear button :D

btw, your rom is smooth and stable :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DemonicHawk:
Has anyone been able to get Wifi hotspot working? It turns on but nothing seems to be able to connect to it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Patambiz:

Hi

i need the wifi modules for this Rom because the wifi is not woking
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Destroyedbeauty:
WiFi modules have nothing to do with ROM, that's kernel related stuff. Look in your kernel provider thread for correct modules!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zipuz:
Is it possible to bulletrproof apps somehow? Last time I used this rom killed spotify all the time while in background!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Legion69:
Any buglist available?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mixMZ:
Just my opinion.

This ROM Rocks! I have tried many roms , and what makes me laugh ,some developers cooking roms every couple days , v1 , v,2 ..... v11

thats Ridiculous. Most developers forgot that perfect rom is the SIMPLEST! STABLE FAST and CLASSIC.

What I would suggest for next update:

aftere pressing power (add reboot:and when reboot ad reboot into recovery)

when using toogle from notificatio ,it would be nice again after pressing reboot toogle to do not have to slide back up whole nottification bar to press reboot (and again have choice to reboot into recovery)

Really congratulations for this rom, I used to use JJ rom and its same good ,always thought will never find any replacement , and here you go ... SPARTACHARGE:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ashishhegde007:

I was previously using ultimate hd 2, so i compared the two to choose one. Results:

Ultimate HD2 installed with the following options in aroma: gaming profile, stock camera, gx launcher with custom settings.

NOTE: as i reinstalled Ultimate HD2, this test was run without any additional application besides titanium backup, in both setups.

I will try this rom again in the next update, because it has some sony's bloatware and is still a tad bit faster, and here are my

suggestions

:

1. Please, provide option to install stock camera or loose the holo thing. In every rom I've tested this theme results in lagged and stuttered videos. Even in ultimate HD2, which has those options.

2. Maybe an option for a different taskbar, if yours displayed the time it would be enough for me. I know there are mods for it but an option to install it out of the box would be welcome.

3. A question really. Does it support swap? Forgot to check.

Unfortunatedly the holo camera thing is a dealbreaker for me.

Now to the compliments:

Thank you for taking the OfficeSuite out of the system partition. I hate it and prefer OliveOffice, so I can harmlessly uninstall it.

Thank you for sharing such a great rom.

Thank you for walmman with acid engine !!!

I'll be watching you! lol
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SuperMari064:
Thanks for the feedback, glad you like the Rom. As for the camera and status bar I can include options in aroma, but that will come later. The Rom supports swap, but it's configured to use it only when absolutely necessary.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nasos95:
Please SuperMari064, don't include the "Reboot" and "Recovery" options!! These options do not translate in other languages and only stay in English! I'm sure that would look ugly for everyone that doesn't use the ROM in English... :/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rafaelbelo:
Wait, are you saying that swap is native in your rom, and I don't need an app like "Swapper for root" to use it?

This is sweet! Madness? This is Sparta!!!

If only I had the balls to try and flash semc stock camera this would me my rom immediatedly.

Regards
[Xperia Arc Android Development] n3n00:
No, swap and zram are supported by kernel so they can be enabled in this ROM, one way or another(scripts or swapper2)...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mixMZ:
Hi SuperMari064!!!

aprox when can we expect the v1.3 relese ?

will ACID Audio Engine 5 gonna be included?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SuperMari064:
Soon if possible I'm still testing the Rom to make sure everything is running as it should be I'd give it about a week, and yes ACID 5.0 will be included.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] birdcut:
Hi SuperMario64,

Can you add the XS Lockscreen of Aeon World as an option in aroma ? For my opinions, it is more convenient than the android lockscreen. I know that I can install it separately after install your rom but I saw that the lockscreen mod changes framework.res and service.jar. So I'm afraid that this might affect your tweak. Would you mind integrating it to your rom ? Thank you.
