Stop flaming in every thread .
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Reported to mod. Mate, im sorry that it has been discontinued but my phone is broken so how can I continue developing without testing. Either way even if i use testers I won't be able to use my ROM so what is the point of developing it?

Anyway that is not constructive criticism. This is a development thread. If you have nothing to contribute then don't enter the development forums.

R: (ROM)(JB4.2/ICS)(Both BL)Beautiful ICS|v4 Extreme innovation(25/12/12}

I'm sorry for rom discontinued. It's very very good rom. Thank you for your great work. Good luck!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rustynuts34:
Sorry to here your phones broke mate and although I have moved on to another rom this was one of the best that I had the pleasure of using.

Cheers buddy :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] derapao:
I'm very sad to hear that you're discontinuing this rom, the best I've ever used.

the only thing that is missing in this rom is wifi tethering. if you have a fix for this bug, can you please release it?

v4 with working wifi tethering would not need any more development, in my opinion. don't add new features as they could break something, just fix that so we can rely on the stableness of v4 (I've been using it since the day it was released with the lag fix and have not found a single problem).

thank you for your excellent work.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] panda0:
Except the sound enhancement FC. But I liked this rom.

thank's for your work, dinesh.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tompec:
I have one question, maybe it is OT, but could anybody advise me other good ROM with similar experiences (stable, long life battery, big memory available) ?

I do not want to change ROM immediately, but as a tip it could be fain.

Thx

wifi tethering fix

does anybody have an idea how to fix wifi tethering?

I don't want to switch rom since this has everything I need and is very smooth.

I don't have the "sound enhancement FC" bug, for me xLOUD works.

When I was shopping for a ROM, this was the only one that offered:

- working led, programmable with an app like e.g. "light flow lite"

- xLOUD

- smooth TTS

- incoming SMS with "sent" time (not only "received" time)

- USB MSC (I left freexperia when they inexplicably removed it)

- no lag

- quick switches for 2G/3G, data, BT, torch

If anybody knows a ROM that offers all of these, plus with tethering it would be great... tough I'd rather fix the only bug and stay with Beautiful ICS. :)

very sorry to hear this,

I loved this rom very very much, very fast and stable,

and Sorry for your phone too:crying:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] redhotiron2004:
Guys, if you are looking for alternatives then you should definitely give 'UltimateHD' by 'Jader13245' a chance. It's based on stock ROM. But, it have everything working and have no bloatwares and is soo fast that it virtually blows everything away for good. Do let me know when you enter that thread as I am a regular visitor there and I will help you in-case you would require any help!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheHaso:

But Optimax 3.0 has it, mrtapas rom is one of the best aosp roms I've tested!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheHaso:
Mmh, optimax is a mess, and it dont have romcontrol
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Master of Bisaster:
AW: (ROM)(JB4.2/ICS)(Both BL)Beautiful ICS|v4 Extreme innovation(25/12/12}

Ok, I know what you mean, but well configured it's a beauty, and Rom Control can be added by a mod of jjdoctor, I think, if I were you and I would look for aosp-romcontrol Rom, I would try it!

Edit:

Naturally Optimax x.0 can't compete with the legen...Wait for it...dary Beautiful ICS!!!!!! Rest in peace!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheHaso:
I have tried optimax before, not so long ago.

Theres a another rom, jelly dream, but it bootloops and i cant solve the issue.

For now, im waiting, because thia rom is great for daily usr :p

I tried to use an app (open garden) to get wifi tethering with this rom, but it doesn't work, damn!

nobody has found a workaround for tethering?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] homasholz:
is there any further update or support on this rom, or is it frozen like to original of jj??

updates would be very fine :D

thx for reply
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jjdoctor:
Well dinesh won't know how to proceed further since he is stuck at same level of Rom Control where I left it.. too bad I got busy at work and couldn't spare time for further development

I spent lot of time porting this Rom Control and AOSP stuff to work on Sony based Rom

Good to see he continued development but the only thing he didn't do was to ask my permission or atleast credit me in his OP...

continue your work dinesh, but just remember ethics ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mungky83:

if you have time.

i really love your rom..so much potential.

Hi I disnesh690,

I tried and here are the result:

- Walkman and Album worked perfectly.

- Widgets worked if I used stock home screen.

- Conversation worked but fc when adding a receiver, phonebook fc when editing.

I like the AOSP callscreen, but when I copy it to stock rom, I got fc when going to setting => mobile network. I think that you have modified framework to make it work. Can I copy some file in your framework to make it work on stock rom ? If yes please give names of these files. Thank you!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Hi, sorry you cannot simply copy a framework file and it will work, took me days to edit the framework and make it work. But why not just use my ROM with the Sony Addons apart from messaging and phone. I'll make a dark AOSP theme if you want, will kind of suit the Sony UI
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Almost everything works just fine out-of-the-box :)

-could you update included apps? Youtube, Gmail, Play Store and SuperUser are not the most recent ones

-Youtube 3.5.x has to be uninstalled first in order to update it (known problem)

-included SuperUser doesn't detect SuperUser Elite (unlocker) installation, I've tried both fresh installation from Play Store and restoring from TB. Updating SuperUser to 3.1.3 and 3.2.rc3 via recovery and wiping app data doesn't help

-MarketUpdater/Play Store will deploy gms.apk so it could be included in the package (works fine after TB conversion to system app)

-things I miss from CM9- disabling unicode in mms.apk (I guess this relies on framework, replacing included mms.apk with CM9 one doesn't change available app settings), increasing ringtone volume and separate ringtone and notivication volume- could they be ported?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Sorin90:
Without any doubt the best Ics rom for me :) Thanks a lot! :good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Ill update all those things for the next release for sure. Btw yep that unicode does rely on framework, tried to intergrate it before release actually but I coudn't but maybe we will see :)

Btw In Android 4.0 Google decided that the OS was too complicated and did lots of things like merging the ringer and notification volumes so all notifications and phone calls use the same volume levels but if you find a ROM based on ICS where that is possible then shoot me a reply and Ill try and port it from there :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 1unu1:
Great ROM using it as my daily driver , i appreciate that the rom is verry slim ,no bloatware no crap apps like fb inside xperia or walkman . As close to AOSP as it gets . I think this would be even better with trebuchet launcher on top of it.

Thank you, looking forward to your next release.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Guys here's a quick preview of AOKP Rom Control, most things don't work atm but hey, atleast the hardest bit is done- porting it and messing about with framework to make it compatible, god knows how many hours this took, been working on it for nearly a week and a half now
[Xperia Arc Android Development] franyo:
Very good Rom, compliments:good::good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Anne_Droid:
Looking forward to an mk16 port. This device doesnt have as much exposure/development as the other devices (it doesnt even have a forum section of its own), so anything new is a most welcome addition. Im sure most Pro users would agree.

Keep it up. Cheers.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
When I get AROMA configured it will be easier to make the ROM for many devices, ill release v2 for most 2011 xperia I think. well see tho
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rustynuts34:
Very nice rom, and it does exactly what it says on the tin :) thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] filikindri:
I LIKE this rom. Really smooth for me with advanced stock kernel.

Everything works okay. Fm, 16:9 camera...

It would be great an option to show battery level percentage instead of icon, in the notification bar.

And include sony stock multimedia server and client apk.

Thanks a lot for this great ROM

Tapatá
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
As i said before, with ROM control, you can have battery percentage just numbers, ICON with percentage, Circle mod, no battery, whatever you please :D Just got battery to work aswell mate, wait a while and you will have your wish.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Sorin90:
Remember to include new jb adreno drivers on new release..seems you haven't :good:

ps: this is the 3 day of intensive use and it's perfect ..even for gaming !
[Xperia Arc Android Development] birdcut:
Yes, I think it would be great if the you can mod the mms.apk to Holo theme with bubles style in the threaded messages. Waiting for your new version of the Rom.

Awesome Rom

Hi,

The rom is just amazing and smooth. Just a few things:

Panorama option for camera is not available

Setting caller image cannot be done from 'Contacts'. This needs to be done from the gallery.

A little lag when entering the app menu. AND frequently called numbers cannot be deleted from the call list.

A request : if you can then please inclue 'Walkman' music player

Everything said, I love this rom.

Thanks for the great work. :cowboy:

ROM Update v2

Changelog:

-Updated most apps

-Tweaked, smoother than before

-Cleaned up init.d

-Fixed graphical glitches

-ADDED AOKP ROM CONTROL:

Most things should work in Rom control, few things don't work and may never work as it requires pure AOSP framework e.g changing style of task manager

FULL WIPE REQUIRED, due to large changes to systemui and framework

Beautiful ICS v2

I have worked extremely hard for a very long time to get everything working, messing around with AOSP and Sony framework and working off logcats so leave a thanks if you like my work :)

Pretty nice ROM, enjoying it actually.

Feels super fast, except the little lag on the lancher. App Info by long holding on recent apps doesn't work & a full wipe is required.

Really hmm I'll look into that today after I get home from work, sorry just use the ROM without it ATM. Don't flash the on screen buttons on v2

CAN stock kernel be used?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Stock Advanced kernel worked for me good in V1.

Give me 15 minutes and I'll be able to answer (CMW backup running now)

EDIT:

Stock Advanced seems to be working fine. NOTE: I've flashed wifi modules provided with kernel
[Xperia Arc Android Development] filikindri:
Advanced stock kernel is ok for me with v1 , and with v2 (just three hours installed, but it looks ok).

Thanks for rom control, and many thanks for sony stock multimedia server and client (it is important for me). Now, this ROM is perfect for me. Stock based, but AOKP look.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bo6o:
Works fine with stock kernel, except for some minor issues. I'll observe some more time and submit them here.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rsimas:
I'm using with ktg kernel and its works very good. I'm using tsf shell launcher or next launcher because the others have some minor lags ;)

Lockscreen

Is it possible to configure lockscreen? If I just go to "Settings" -> "ROM Control" -> "Lockscreen options" and change there anything, then nothing happens. No changes will be activated even after reboot! Why?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Possibly these options require AOKP framework (same situation is in JJ's Hybrid)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mr_july:
So, is it really impossible to configure the lockscreen?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
It seems so. "Show battery percentage" and "Show weather" don't work either
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rod555:
great update!! Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Remember this is only first release with AOKP ROM Control, still in alpha stages, might be able to get it to work, maybe not. :) Wait for later released but right now a lot of it should work :D

Hmm, battery percentage should be working... can anyone test and report

Won't abondon support don't worry. Arcknight kernel for ICS .587 should be working.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Already got it fixed, will be in next version. Sorry forgot to include it in this one, a minor bug though, shouldn't stop you from using it Might make a flashable zip instead if I can

Maybe I can. coudn't for version 2. Kept running into errors, Lockscreen isn't pure AOSP, more like a modification of the stock one so i doubt it. Hopefully I can though :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Arcide:
I want a different keyboard where I could use gesture input (the swipe method), so which one should I download?

One more thing, is it possible to make the toggles bigger (for example, 5 icons per row when using the icon layout)?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tompec:
There is new firmware coming for Arc ! 4.1.B.1.13

So you will have more work :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Swype is always a reliable option, swiftkey recently released a version of swyping on top of their excellent word predicting engine. Maybe even try a JB 4.2 Port keyboard. Whatever floats your boat :)

And for that, you would have to change the DPI of your phone but I don;t think you want to be messing around with that, can change the way your toggles are shown e.g icons instead though.

Yay! ::D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Arcide:
These toggles are really uncomfortable to press because they are too small, it would be great if they were as big as in the toggles widget.

Hello.

Enable bar in ROM Control doesn't work for me (Onscreen button). After Reboot, force close of System UI.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
It's not the rom, it's kernel.

Flash Stock Advanced (and it's wifi modules)- it doesn't have this issue.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Arcide:
You're right, it was because of the kernel, but I didn't have to use the stock one, I just flashed the latest version of Arcknight.

Thanks for the answer. :)

But, I still can't figure out why does my battery drain so fast.

I've tried the Arcknight, xarc, Doom kernel, but it was roughly the same, 10-15% over night (8-9 hours).

It's the same on the JJ's ROM.

Someone suggested to change the baseband, since people reported that they had excelent battery life with Arcknight kernel.

But I don't even know what baseband I have, or how to change it. :S
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hungragezone:
don't use lastest version of Arcknight, it's full of bug

use KTG or something else...

Go to setting -> about phone -> see Baseband version and loot at the 2 last digi

But baseband doesn't make battery drain

If u want lastest BB (77)

Just flash stock LT18i_4.1.B.0.587 ftf file
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
It's not exactly true- baseband manages radio hardware (GSM/UMTS and sometimes also GPS) so how well it operates does have an impact on battery life.

I'd advise to use .72 baseband and to switch network mode to 2G Only (3G base station switching uses a lot of power)
