Is it known that wlan hotspot doesnt work?

Or is there any fix
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mungky83:
yeeaah! I'm so excited! Thanx dinesh. :thumbup:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Futurust:
Woaah ? hoping that all bug can be fixed in neo v ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] duke_dreadmoore:
hmm how can I change the status bar background? I've tried to find the element on the SystemUI but cannot find it.

In other roms, it should be there, named "status_bar_background.png"..

Maybe the SystemUI is taken from cm9, right?

I would like to change it to dark gray, not plain black. Anyone? thx..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hashkan:
Yes wifi teathring and in-call Mute button not working

Very nice ROM!

Is it possible to port your Callscreen to stock ICS ROM?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Haha yes it is possible :) doesn't mean anyone is willing to do it, its all smali edits and very time consuming . my ROM is based on Stock ICS anyway
[Xperia Arc Android Development] MetaBolic0:
Very nice work mate!!!

Your ROM is awesome :fingers-crossed:

The only think that really is a shame is the HandcentSMS that don't work and some times when restoring APP from Titanium Backup Pro the programe freeze and only with reeboting the phone will work again.

Besides that only minor bugs that all people already said. Hope you fix HandcentSMS on next release for i can switcht to this ROM :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Again I have no idea what is causing it. I use Gosms which works perfectly hopefully i get a logcat

Anyways guys

Thanks for your support =)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Sorin90:
I like it ! :laugh:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Haha everyone has their own opinion

Not sure if I should port whole touchwiz ROM like a Sense ROM which would take a very long time and a lot things won't work or work on top of CM10 which would be a lot easier. Got exams now aswell which will decide my future so maybe I will settle for working on top of CM10 :D

Is there any fix for wifi tethering, because it is not working ?

Thx for reply
[Xperia Arc Android Development] miqz:
can i use another kernel like KTG ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheHaso:
Not yet

Anything stockbased should work, experience may be different
[Xperia Arc Android Development] edrit011:
Look great

Look great I'll try it.:good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Sorin90:
Use Lupus Kernel it works great ! :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sunekosuri:
I don't get it, do you want to move from stock based rom to CM based one to add more features?

I don't have any issues with provided sms client, haven't got any FC nor stability issues, for me it just works :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kaz93:
TBH having other OEM's rom on our Sony phone doesnt felt right for me..however, customization and freedom to do anything we want is the reason we are with android right now..I think it is better if you theme cm10 to look exactly just like timescape UI kinda like Achotjan's work. We already have xperia T launcher, walkman and other media apps working on cm10 and cybershot{ maybe ) by rizal lovins. Most of the essential stuff is there, so you have your work cut out for you. Lastly, most of us wish for stock jellybean for our arc, if Sony wont give us that, maybe you will..:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sunekosuri:
It is a proper idea, but you should remember that other than stock based rom has worse battery performace. I've managed to last on one charge up to 80 hours which is not even close for CM and others (lass then 36 h with the same usage).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] x_one:
I don't see SemcPhone.apk in your ROM.. :eek: Can you tell me with apk file is that call screen or it's not like in stock rom?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Nope, it will be another ROM,another thread :) This will still be the good ol' Beautiful ICS :) Besides switching this ROM to CM would be against the whole point of the ROM

haha its not a like a themed Stock Rom mate. This is a complete framework overhaul of AOSP Running on top of the base ROM. You can't simply take an apk and hope it will work. Smali code has been edited severly and it will took me a week of hard work to port in call screen from AOSP. If you want, shoot me a PM and I can give you a few tips but you have to know how to edit smali code. I can't teach you that :) Don't have time for that
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kaz93:
Oh I see, although for me both stock and cm10 give me the same battery performance.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sunekosuri:
that happies me a lot! hope that you'll mange to port browser from current aokp, this is the last thing missing, and of course, maybe lockscreen stuff will be available also ;)

Is there a way to modifying the mms.apk to support 160 characters (greek)

I try several ways but nothing

And i cant install the stock sony mms app

Thanks in anyway :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheHaso:
I dont think sooo, but you can allways try

Thats a known bug, and theres no fix yet. Soon.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] duke_dreadmoore:
can you please add Walkman with sound enhancer working? JJ hybrid ROM already have that.. I assume that it's easy to port it from there, because it's a AOSP based on 587 also.. Thx for your very nice rom, I just need that working, and this ROM will be perfect!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Sure I could but the widget wouldn't work with the Apex launcher or any apart from the Sony launcher which many people won't like. Maybe an add on to simply flash ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Master of Bisaster:
Will the next version have the AROMA installer? :confused:

Would be great and could replace the mods section, because we could decide if we want e.g. nova launcher or xperia home or additionally google now installed.

Please include it, and if you have problems, ask devs like jader, who has many experience in AROMA :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Would make the ROM very heavy though 250mb round about and my PC already keepa restarting every 10mins might make uploading a hassle. I'll make another poll later then :)

Sent from my Xperia Arc S
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Arcide:
That's not heavy, and I think most people would prefer it over the simple flashing.

Also, I would like the walkman too, I flashed the app, but the sound enhancement plugin doesn't work.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mungky83:
Just make an add on.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] duke_dreadmoore:
I never used the music widget :D could you please make a flashable zip, walkman with sound enhancer? many thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Johnsmith12345:
In love with this rom still! I always hate slow laggy sony UI, this is light and fast but also beautiful. Good job! keep up good work

I don't want aroma because i love how this rom is nice and small and quick to download
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheHaso:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Johnsmith12345:

Walkman and 3D Panaroma

I have ported this rom to my pro. its working fine. but can anyone show me a way to add walkman player and Sony 3D panaroma?

Installed walkman by TK, but equalizer is not working. gives FC. flashed cybershot from CWM, but both the cameras (CyberShot & Cybershot 3D) FCs. main intension was to add cybershot 3D. Other than that its a good ROM.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheHaso:
i have posted link here in thread. Search.

Use that one, and replace the musicwidget.apk with the particle musickwidget.apk. The link is here a few posts ago

For cybershot. Tried flashing the v5 then v6 ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Guys expect a new update within the next week. I will post a changelog soon. Got more time to work on this now that my exams are over.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheHaso:
Aahhh, nice. Will it be a update.zip or a fresh install ?? :D :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
You will be able to install it without wiping. Just wiping cache will be fine :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] panda0:
Nice to hear that. Waiting for the fixes and the possibility to have black apps for messaging and contacts.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mungky83:
Dinesh. Can u include cybershot™ from rizalovin?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tompec:
I am expecting Cybershot too :)

Question: Do you have (anybody) good experience with dialer alternatives ? I have exDialer, but it is lagging sometimes... Any tips for other apps ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] panda0:
Dunno about you guys, but the pics that I got with cybershot were too bright, in any condition. Am I doin' something wrong? In my case, default camera is way better. :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Arcide:
Is it required to have the v4 version to install the upcoming update?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Silencer96:
Can you overclock with the kernel that it comes with?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sunekosuri:
Yes it is, because v4 was major update and to get it, the full wipe was needed, so please have in mind that you will be force to fully wipe before flashing v5. If you've got v4 the full wipe won't be necessary as danish mentioned. :cowboy:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Sorin90:
Frequency in mAH? o.O
[Xperia Arc Android Development] panda0:
"Is it required to have the v4 version to install the upcoming update?"

My understanding is: "To install v5, will it be necessary to flash v4 before?". In that case, the answer is "no", as I stated before.

Or maybe I'm just tripping... :silly:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sunekosuri:
yup, we're thinking the same, cheers m8! :highfive:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Well with the kernel i recommended, yes you can overclock :)

Anyway guys, if you are moving to v4 from earlier versions or other ROM you have to full wipe.

For v5 you won't have to fullwipe if your on v4 but if your coming from another rom you will have to full wipe.

Simples :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Arcide:
My question was if I could skip the v4, I know I'm going to need a full wipe anyway.

Thanks for the answer everyone. :good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] plantunes:
Hi....

Need urgent help!

Had ICS stock .587 rom and installed this ROM (I have a locked bootloader).

I followed the instructions...

Entered CWM...made the 3 wipes....installed ROM...then installed the lagfix and also the xperia keyboard.

Rebooted but now my ARC S does not leaves the SONY logo....

Anyone???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] panda0:
Can't you enter in CWM?

If the answer is "no", I guess the easiest thing to do is flash stock .587 ftf file and start all over again.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] plantunes:
Already done that....this time not flashing the lagfix nor the xperia keyboard.

Just the rom ...and it stucks the same place
[Xperia Arc Android Development] panda0:
Weird. Just to make things clear:

- Wipe Data/Factory Reset

- Wipe Cache

- Mounts and Storage -> Format /System

- Advanced -> Dalvik Cache

You tried this way, right?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] plantunes:
Didn't do the format system cause on 1st post that is not said on the installation notes.

The other things were done.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] panda0:
In that case, follow the steps (including the format -> system). It's worth a try and I'm 99% sure that will solve the problem.

If possible give feedback and tell us if it worked for you.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] plantunes:
Worked like a charm!

This should be placed on the 1st post so that no one runs the same thing I did!

Huge thanks...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ju1da:
I need xperia keyboard, since "add-on dictionaries" for specific languanges is not supported by jb keyboard

This xperia keyboard is too ugly. Can you suggest me, alternative (better/ newer) xperia keyboard to port to this ROM?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] panda0:
I know that the question wasn't for me, but I'm using this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1916401 - Download the following:

1- Flash "

ICS404_Sola_Keyboard_no-apk.zip

" in CWM

2- Move "

" to system/app with right permissions.

ps: I don't know if it's the same one from the first post, but I don't think so. This sola keyboard looks like the keyboard used in the uHD rom, but don't have the smilies windows bug.

dinesh, is it posible that the vibration issue is caused because you modified something when installing some libs? 4 example... with adreno? or with other modifications?

I tried to solve it by myself by changing different apks, but it is not working. Only once it was functioning but without setting up, I just started to use it. But this way I can not use my favorite settings (keyboard layout and look)...

As you can see, everything's fine. 122Mhz most of time.

But I can assure that I've done the same test with the stock music player (the one that came with the rom), and it stayed ~90% at max clock of the phone (800Mhz). Battery goes down quick.

- What will be the new music player? Google Music?

- Will you fix the sound enhancement bug (force close)?

- Are you sure that cybershot camera is better than the actual camera? I dunno if I did something wrong, but I didn't like cybershot camera (too bright pics)

Im using cyberahot on this rom. Well the recording is smooth and lagfree, pics are a little better

Some feedback 'bout battery life

Arc S - 134Mhz~1Ghz - Xarc Kernel - 2G Network - Smartassv2/SIO

~2:00 hours - Screen On

~2:55 hours - Music max vol

~11:00 hours - WiFi On

~1:10 hours - Data via 2G (e-mails, whatsapp)

Notice that gsm signal is pretty bad where I live. So, between 19:30PM~06:30AM, the phone consumes more battery than the rest of day, where the signal is good (at my work).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
That is the plan mate. I will release it when everything is done :)

Most people seem to prefer cybershot. I could add the stock camera as an addon if required.

Not sure yet. Sound enhancements will be fixed.

Hmm seem to be lots of people who don't like cybershot. For me it does produce very good pictures. I will add current camera as an addon

That is awesome battery life mate :) 2 hour screen on time is hardly anything though
