What do you mean when it says "Beautiful ICS is an android 4.2.1(JB) ROM based on .587 by Sony Ericsson Arc/Arc S."

So it's a 4.2.1 rom downgraded to 4.0.4 android?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Master of Bisaster:
The rom has 4.0.4 as firmware and it has the optic of a 4.2 rom, like jj's hybrid rom, but much better! :rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] maxal:
Hi I have just rooted and installed CWM. I then download your rom but I have a problem when I use fastboot to flash the boot.img I get a error message saying device is not rooted but I am I have used root checker to check it, can any one help please.

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] etag:
Never had problems with fastboot. Do you have open bootloader? It's needed for custom kernel

Gesendet von meinem LT18i mit XDA Premium
[Xperia Arc Android Development] blitzkrieg_:
use these su binaries.. flash it... you probably ve old su binaries...

n for the kernel ul need an unlocked bootloader...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] maxal:
Thanks, but I thought you could flash a custom kernel with a locked bootloader because the install instructions for installing this rom say for locked or unlocked bootloaders, first flash the kernel via fastboot then install the rom using CWM, or did I read it wrong.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
For locked BL you don't have to flash the kernel just ensure you are on stock ICS 4.0.4
[Xperia Arc Android Development] maxal:
Ok thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hashkan:
Hi Man ,first of all i would like to say this ROM is nice , considered an updated version compared to JJDoctor's ROM ,However i was little surprised that it has the same Bugs as JJ's ROM may be i was expecting too much :)

Bugs i faced so far:

WiFi teathring hotspot not working

In-Call Mute button is not working (pressing MUTE during a call doesn't mute the Mic and the other side can still hear the voice)

Weather panel not working (not a big issue).

would be appreciated if you have time to look at those Bugs?

Thanks again and keep up the good work
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Those last two are to do with AOSP framework being incompatible with Sony but I will hopefully fix them for next release.

Thank you

Hi I just flashed this rom and I am now stuck on the sony screen. how do I get in to recovery I have a sony xperia arc s lti18

please any help
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Did you flash the kernel? Are you on locked or unlocked BL? If you are unlocked BL and flashed the kernel then the LED should flash during the boot and you press the volume rocker down and it will enter recovery
[Xperia Arc Android Development] maxal:
Hi I have a locked bootloader so you said dont flash the kernel. I did all the wipes, led is not flashing when I turn it back on. I tried pressing vol rocker down when turning on but nothing happens. I have tryied connecting to the pc but it doesnt see my phone.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Are you on Stock 4.0.4 ICS? With CWM recovery installed ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] maxal:
Yes
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
If you have CWM recovery installed, then you should be able to enter recovery, just try pressing down the volume - constantly during the splash screen. I am not sure what is causing this issue, it is working for everyone else with locked BL. Worst case scenario, just grab seus and repair it or grab a FTF fw of 4.0.4 and flash it and you will be back to stock ICS
[Xperia Arc Android Development] maxal:
Ok but my laptop is now not seeing my phone when I connect it which I think is not good.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] blitzkrieg_:
just now i tried flashing this rom on my bro's arc which has a locked bootloader n bootloops!! its complete stock!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheHaso:
Hi my friend, its me again. When i woke up today i saw that my battery was full charged, so why not try again?

Now im running your rom for some hours. This time im planning a longer period :P :P

Wifi issue was caused by the password recovery app

I still got crashmonitor FC and FBiX Music Likes FC. The FBiX Music Likes FC is gone after a wipe with titanium, but i cant solve the Crashmonitor issue so i deactivated it :P

Some bugs/issues i found:

The signal bar color is gray (blue in rom control), when i turn wifi on the signal bar turns blue.

after wifi

Xperia icon is not themed

A little framework issue (im using norwegian, it got a little longer words. Im sure this happens with german too)

The toggle style is on text only, but shows icon only (ths fixes itself after a little switching)

Lockscreen style doesnt work. Tried stock, AOSP, Honeycomb with rebooting

Custom lockscreen wallpaper dont work too

Update

Found some more:

Can you make this more white/gray. Its hard to see/notice it. The same with silent icon

Scrollbar is missplaced when im on app info

This looks very wierd. Only on running apps when i choose one of them

Thats all for now. Thanks again. Looking forward to next update :good::good::good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] blitzkrieg_:
hey how come i dont see the xperia thing in my settings o_O
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheHaso:
i dont know, it was there allways :S

i did not "upgrade" to this rom. Made full wipe as allways (dalvik, cache, system, data)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hashkan:
Thanks i believe it will be interesting to wait for next release then :)

What about WIFI tethering?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] drcyber:
Happy New Year! I found some more bugs: Lockscreen settings ( weather, battery%) are not shown, the startup-tweaks keep not activated when you re-enter Rom Control.

And tasker crashes when scanning cell-ids, like this : https://groups.google.com/forum/m/?fromgroups#!topic/tasker/BZB-ydg5jt8 (dont know if this is a tasker-bug or rom related)

Thanks for all your help. I am now back on stock ics I managed to recover by using Sony update service.

By the way I think I caused the problem as I was on ics 4.0.3 not 4.0.4

Thanks again.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rennu21:
Little noob, or something- what is lagfix, how to install it(in cwm with full wipe or?) Is it nessesary in locked bootloader
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheHaso:
Just wipe cache and install it via CWM. I have not used it and i dont know what it helps exactly, but i have installed the JB Andreno Libs on this rom (its missing it) and its extreme smooth now

edit:

compared that fix with the files in my rom and there wasnt much difference. Only hosts file was different. This one was LOADED with hosts and the one in rom got one host
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Removed a few scripts which were negatively affecting the performance of the ROM, flash simply through CWM, gotta add JB adreno libs for next release actually. Thanks for reminding me

Anyway guys I don't think its worth it to put in the JB style statusbar mods because it took me weeks to implement AOKP Rom control into the ROM and it is basically so implemented into the ROMS framework that i would have to remove ROM control altogether which Im sure you guys don't want.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] soumya_digi:
That is not a bug. The signal bar turns blue when the phone gets connected with Google. It's normal.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] leo_nidas:
Your Rom i damn FASTTTTTTT :D

Can you add other camera :>? CM10 od 4.2 version :>?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
I will add it as an addon if you like that but I think Sony camera is much better. One of the main features of this ROM
[Xperia Arc Android Development] leo_nidas:
Thanks i dont know who is better, i love CM10 apps :)

But your rom ist just Glorious!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] surendar1863:
Does CronMod-A2SD MOD work in this ROM?

Your ROM is very good.

Does the MOD work with the recommended kernel?

I am using Lupus V9 now.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] duke_dreadmoore:
dark mms.apk

hey guys.. to anyone using this ROM. I found a dark gradient themed mms.apk from cm9 that is working perfectly in this rom..

does anyone know or can mod the phone.apk to be dark gradient also? bcause the original one is ugly for me :D

anyways, this rom is really nice, lite compared to xperia ultimate or jelly sandwich.. this is a pure and unified ICS feel!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] yanner2012:

Meh, i dont want anymore :p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] FuTChY:
Thank you for your work :)

I would really wish to try this rom, but I just want to ask you few questions if you wouldn't mind :)

Is the Rom JB 4.2 or it's just moded ICS ?

Which is the recommended kernel to use ?

if it's JB 4.2, can I know please if the Cam, BT, and Tethering are working ???

I would be so thankful if you told me :)

Appreciate your work :) :victory: :good:

I can use it with stock on locked bl?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Grian_A:
Del.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Man, i have explained this many times. Use search button next time please. Last time I shall explain this

The stock ROM is Sony 4.0.4, I have modified and ported certain 4.2 frameworks and apps to run ON TOP OF the 4.0.4 Sony, so it provides you with a 4.2 AOKP Experience with Rom control and AOSP incallscreen etc and such whilst having stock features like Bluetooth, Stock Sony Camera, Xloud, Bravia Engine and excellent battery life

It is NOT simply a theme, it is framework ports which require a lot of time and hard work to do, not as easy as taking stock apps and framework and simply theming them to look like aosp. Again thanks to zdizhu for all the help for the ports and things
[Xperia Arc Android Development] FuTChY:
Sorry If I offended you that much :)

I'm gonna try it and I really appreciate your work :)

Thanks again for your reply and keep up the good work :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] drcyber:
I found one more strange thing: In rom Control\UI\"long press Home-Button" works not correctly, when i choose "do nothing" i have The ICS-Style Last used APPs , with "last used" nothing happens, whith "Camera" i got the old-Style "last used Apps" from Gingerbread..

its not very important for me , but if its possible, it would be nice to fix it

thx
[Xperia Arc Android Development] FuTChY:
Not at all my friend :)

Sure, i'm downloading it now, gonna try it and give you my feedback.

Rom control is awesome , I admit that I install AOKP roms only for Rom Control :) , but since Stock roms are more stable it would be amazing to have Rom control with stock based rom :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheHaso:
This looks wierd (when setting pin as lockscreen security)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Oscar-Mark:
And how many times a day do you change passcode? :P

Í'm pretty sure itis either complicated to change that in framework or dev just haven't changed that yet.

But as many of those small faults you found are also in JJ's Hybrid ROM I'm pretty sure they "can't" change that.

EDIT: And you're an XDA user, you should learn how to edit .pngs in framework and apps, it's really easy, atleast for AOSP, maybe Sony's framework is harder to theme.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hashkan:
Nice rom, hope wi_fi teathring will work in next release
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheHaso:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Johnsmith12345:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] mungky83:
This is ICS with JB flavour added. Dinesh has ported some JB framework like notification bar,keyboard and some other stuff. You should try it. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] yanner2012:
No answer for me? :o
[Xperia Arc Android Development] FuTChY:
It's awesome bro :) , very nice and so much work have be done here :)

I only have some comments on the ROM Control Tool

- Weather is not shown on the lock screen as in AOKP Roms

- Unlock Shortcuts are not applicable although they are set from the Rom control

- No options for the clock in the Rom Control

and I have also a comment on the flash yellow screen that shows for milliseconds when navigating the mobile from the inside , it's better to be removed as in stock roms ...

Thank you so much for the great effort :) , keep up the good work mate
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Yep those options wont work in Rom Control, and probably never will. Maybe the clock I can get working but not lockscreen options

What do you mean by the flash yellow screen?

I dont think I will do that, sorry mate just don't think its worth porting over the whole in callscreen, which was probably hardest thing to port from AOSP for that feature which I don't personally use
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Oscar-Mark:
The gesture keyboard looks awful, could you use the stock one instead, there are many threads on XDA with it.

And Google Now
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Google now will be added as an addon. want the ROM to be somewhat lite.

And does anyone else want a stock keyboard? If a lot of people agree then I will change it for sure :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] FuTChY:
I see :) :fingers-crossed:

about the Flash screen:

- open settings, go to rom control, then any inner menu

- press the Back button to go back to the home screen.

during going back you'll see a flash screen with the yello color of the back ground of apex launcher
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheHaso:
No, i think that the google keyboard is better, also less ram hungry :P :P

Got no issue like this, but im using stock Xperia launcher. The one form Xperia V i think.

Guys added a poll, would appreciate if you awnsered it. About the keyboard ;)

PS: Before anyone asks why I voted, I am going to vote too because I use my ROM like you guys also and love it :P
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zilian28:
Very nice ROM!

Man, I've been flashing ROMs for such a long time and in so many phones. This one for arc S is awesome because of all features and the stock camera. Also, I'm using it with advanced stock kernel and it's running very well.

I have felt the taste of AOSP before, but no camera could satisfy me as the stock one so I always got back to stock. Your work fit so perfeclty to my needs that I can say, in my case specificaly, It is the one I´ve been waiting for ever... (and I would wait and wait cause I´m so nooob and I know the work of a developer is such an art - and hard!, that I felt it was never fair to ask for features.)

By the way, I liked the new google keyboard a lot! but I agree it´s fair to have a poll to decide things.

Anyway, thank you so much for this new option (ROM). What a lovely work!

Best regards!

Have been using thia awsome rom for a few days.

I imstalled walkman and its working great. My only probles is that i cant apply the widget on my home.apk

Im using xperia home and when i add it it gives home.apk FC

Any ideas?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mungky83:
Walkman™ widget just can be apply to stock rom/launcher or rom such as hd rom.

is it walkman by TK??:D

I'm just installed and playing for a few hours.

This rom is awesome, clean, small size and very smooth. :o

One thing that i'd found is, When using camera and press the menu button. In a vertical mode a setting frame seems not center, it floated on the left side and a little bit out off screen. But it's not a big threat, all buttons can be touched.

By tk or thilliniac. U have to use sony launcher.

i use the one by thillinac, but doesn't have that clear phase, dynamic, etc. only clear bass, and surround effect.
