Tried out new ROM & Kernel as per post #1519: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41451739&postcount=1519

Love the ROM (and bluetooth seems to be working fine) but there's a few problems:

1. Reboot recovery simply does not work - phone sticks at 'rebooting' and eventually you have to remove & replace the battery.

2. The CRT animation doesn't work.

3. Problem with apps on SD card - after restoring an app that was SD-based with titanium it appears to be fine - but after a reboot the app has disappeared.

4. Doesn't seem to be a way to set the pulse notification light colours - if you go to 'settings' and choose 'interface' and then 'display' there is indeed a 'Light Options' heading - with no further info. Did you forget to add these options?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vicky7180:
sory to say bt CRT animation working...!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] seamo123:
Cool. It ain't working for me though.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] x4x3:
CRT is working for me, too (RAY).

But i alwas disable it, even i really like it. I had always short freezes when directly wake dieplay up after disabling it. A few times i was trying to wake up phone, but nothing happens. A few seconds later -> restart. Everything normal after disabling CRT. It was the same on besttt-mikeomania-pac-cm10.1-kernels.

But maybe it´s only a lag of my phone or behavior:silly:

So it´s just for info!

[MENTION=4696863]besttt[/MENTION]

Nearly unbelievable how quick problems could be solved here and updates come out! An this just as a "hobby"... Shame on Sony´s guys (or managers to hold them back)!

Big Thank´s!!! To all of you develepers here!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] seamo123:
How about the other problems I mentioned? Experiencing those too?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] x4x3:
OK...

1. For me it´s not working, too. I just reboot normally an press HOME

2. CRT as i wrote...

3. Same to me on every 4.2.2. i tested. Some guys write its working with Link2SD, but not for me. I always us minnimum install, but if you use many apps it´s a bad thing :(

4. You´re right, it´s "lost". I never changed, but it should be easy for besttt to make it available next release:fingers-crossed:

That kernel for the Ray you attached has a worse boot logo if anything - the only activity is in the top quarter of the screen - the rest of the screen is blank. Looks like the ratio's all wrong I'm afraid!

I don't want to get into a big debate about what it is or what it does here (it's a ROM thread after all), but has anyone done any sort of testing to see what difference the Dalvik cache heapsize settings make to Slim Bean 4...?

I understand the default isn't always the same across different devices, the default for this particular ROM is 128m, but I've seen numerous posts floating around the net where people have said they got better overall performance by setting a lower heapsize. I set mine down from 128m to 64m, since I don't play games on my phone I figured I don't need each VM to use that much memory, and overall it is noticeably faster with animations and loading apps.

I'd be interested to hear what other people's experience has been with altering the heapsize, any takers?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] carper84:
I don't play game too. Can you explain how to reduce dalvik cache? Then i report my feedback. Thank you!

Inviato dal mio Xperia Arc S con Tapatalk 2
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 7OH:
/system/build.prop

dalvik.vm.heapsize=128m

change to 96m or 64m, than reboot
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Xperia R57:
So, if i play a lot of games in my arc S should i put a higher number on Heapsize ?

Something like 186m ?

What will happen then ? i will have more smother game without breaks and so on?

Best regards and Thanks :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 7OH:
For games I prefer to use SWAP partition.

You can search forums for this workaround.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] NeBouse:
to activate mass storage :

settings / storage / menu = choose mass storage mode ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] seamo123:
Well I'm in 'storage' now but I don't see any 'menu' option. Care to shed a bit more light on this?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NeBouse:
the 3 dots in the upper right, or press the hardware menu key on your phone

Sheesh! Why are some things seemingly deliberately hidden? It's like the activating 'Developer Options' thing, i.e. having to click 7 times to activate the menu.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
To quote this blog post:

Anyway, it was running pretty decently with a 64m heap until earlier this evening... After a few app updates things started getting a bit sluggish again. I've just set it up a little bit to 96m, so I'll see how that goes. So far, so good...

It's much easier than that.. Go to Settings > Developer Options > Dalvik Cache Heapsize. (:

It was a great experience to get so much help from people here:). Thank you for that. Special thanks to besttt. Without him, this forum would be not so "alive". :good::good::good:

Wish you people all the besttt;)

I have one last very improtant question:

I sold my (beloved;)) Phone. My Arc S is rooted and bootloader is unlocked (of course:silly:). Before sending it to the buyer I flashed stock ftf 587.

Do I have to inform the buyer not to do an official update? I thought I have read somewhere that an official update will brick the phone? Or am I wrong?

Thank you for answering.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] themike10452:
just leave him do whatever he wants, it's his phone now ;P

and to answer ur question, no I don't think it does brick the phone, if you meen upgrading via PcCompanion, I tried it myself and it didn't brick my phone. anyway I'm not expecting any more "official" firmware upgrades. (excluding the .13 I don't know when it's gonna come out)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
I imagine if you had the sense to ask that question, it's safe to assume the buyer already knew before hand that the bootloader was unlocked. I've sold a few phones like that in the past, my idea of "common courtesy" in this case would be to put your current and working files (from and for flashing your device) on CD or DVD and simply send that with the phone. That way if anything does go wrong at least they don't have to then go and learn about rooting and/or bootloaders without a working phone...

As Themike pointed out, it's somebody else's phone now, they can do whatever they want with it.. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Louis235:
Thank you, both:). Of course I informed the buyer about lost warranty and all that. But she just bought and didn't answer. So I was unsure if she is familiar with flashing and all that stuff. I don't want that she bricks here "new" phone at first day. But ok, she could have answered or ask me anything. She didn't and so.....You're right. It's her business:)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] seamo123:
What has this got to do with the Slim Bean ROM exactly??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Louis235:
Indeed, nothing. Just offtopic. Sorry for that. Anyway as I sold my ArcS I will not post here again.

Best Regards
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
I think Louis was asking here simply because this was the ROM currently being used, it's not derailing the whole thread, the question was posted in a pretty clear "just while I'm here" sort of way. Don't really see much problem with that. I've just got off the phone with my service provider and I'mm upgrading to the HTC One in about 2 weeks, I'm still planning to keep my Arc S though... It should make a nice sleek MP3 player for my car.

Anyway, debating points like this is what derails topics, so I'll just leave my comments at that. :) Back on topic again, I've been running with a 96m Dalvik cache heapsize since my post last night, haven't had the same long-term slow down effect that I had with 64m and it's still snappier and more fluid than with 128m.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Vic.:
I think I may have fixed the moving apps to sd bug, but I need somebody to test it as I don't use this ROM anymore and I can't recompile the file because of an error.

1. Decompile framework-res.apk with latest apktool

2. Open /res/xml/storage_list.xml

3. Replace everything with

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<StorageList
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<storage android:mountPoint="/storage/primary/legacy" android:storageDescription="@string/storage_sd_card" android:primary="true" android:removable="true" android:allowMassStorage="true" android:maxFileSize="4096" />
</StorageList>

4. Recompile

5. Do an adb pull (or extract it from the zip) for /system/etc/void.fstab

6. Replace

dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.4/mmc_host/mmc1

with

dev_mount sdcard /storage/primary/legacy auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.4/mmc_host/mmc1

Somebody tell me if it works.
