what about the simply plain background you can find in sony jb stock and google jb stock roms?

In my opinion that is the best choice.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Lord_Snake:
Last background is for sure the better!!

But please, make the "on screen buttons" being optional. I don't want to lose space on my screen to have buttons that I already have 2 milimeters below.

Again, thanks a lot for your work!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimmysmart83:
On Screen Buttons

I have made On-Screen Buttons to share with u guyz...

All files is zip flashable just go in to recovery and flash it.

Before flashing please backup your rom in recovery, bcoz i dont have checked 32dpi and disable files but 24dpi file works great.:good:

24dpi - Download

32dpi - Download

Disable On-Screen Buttons - Download

Enjoy! :victory:

Please reply if 32dpi or disable file not working.

Re: [ROM][ARC/ARC S] Racing Bean V1.1 (Fastest rom, latest features)

this looks nice. i am gonna give it a shot since i am bored of uhd
[Xperia Arc Android Development] armutyus:
can you separate "walkman from t". it'll be very good if this will be an add-on. because i like google play music and walkman(and its own things like visualizer) app is so big and use so much ram.

i know but i'm fed up with these things too, google account also backup and restore my apps and other things but. update is easy and of course for the lazies(like me :p)

anyway i always do a backup :) if v2 come without update, it's not problem i'm waiting for it :)

guys im new to sony mobiles. I tried to install this rom on my friend's arc s. I tried to install this after flashing fusion kernel. But installation gets a status 7 error everytime. I even tried lupus kernel. but same result. What did i do wrong??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] yukarundeng:
firstly, did you install fusion 4.1? if you did, you're supposed to install the 4.0

this is the link

http://www.mediafire.com/?hp8ebceh1idg9nn

secondly, in cwm do factory reset, wipe cache, format system partition, wipe dalvik

then install the rom

if it's still not working, try to flash baseband 77, then do the first step all over again

edit: anyway, this is for unlocked bootloader, you know this, don't you?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gigabyt3:
i flashed today this ROM over Fusion 4.1, everything is working fine and this ROM is really fast (i'm comming from FXP 201)!!! :D nice work
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pasanjay:
yes i used 4.1 il try with 4.0 now. and yes its bootloader unlocked using the official method. Problem is i cant install any JB rom. Tried CM10, AOKP and few others. Everytime installation aborts. I even tried ICS kernels with ICS roms. THey were installed but when i rebooted i could not go pass the kernel boot screen.

Re: [ROM][ARC/ARC S] Racing Bean V1.1 (Fastest rom, latest features)

Hey guys, I've finally finished version 2.0! It is currently uploading.

Change log for 2.0 -

* Added Walkman player (thanks thilinaC)

* Fixed low brightness issue

* Changed settings app background to one voted by users.

* Fixed 3G battery drain

* Disabled button backlights

* Greatly improved the Dalvik VM tweaks for better gaming performance over long time

* Xperia style settings icon

* Xperia style quick seeings icon

* Redid build.prop tweaks for faster 3G, scrolling, WiFi, better battery life etc.

* Added baseband 72 for better signal and data connection (thanks papayayoghurt)

* Added on screen buttons add-on

I apologize for the late release, as earlier i did put an eta as Friday.

I am looking for testers. Their role would be to get the new release early, install it, and assure me all I mentioned in the change log is working. Preferably, people with fast internet connections and spare time would be nice. PM me if you're interested ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kaz93:
can you add the latest screenshot of your rom especially the xperia settings?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Lord_Snake:
Thanks for the update!!

But why did you disabled the button backlights??

And isn't BB83 better??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] armutyus:
new feature is awesome i can't waiting for it :) but is there any plan for changing video recording to 720p(or 1080p like paranoid rom?) and if it's possible please do walkman be an addon :)

edit: upss i forgot, also xLoud is important i thought. because sound is very low. mostly i can't hear ringtones or message tones.

xLoud and sony bravia engine 2 maybe :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] littlejoelgriffo:
Sorry guys, I do know how to include bravia engine 2 and xLoud but I've already finished 2.0 so maybe in 2.1.

It is still based on 152 because fusion kernel doesn't support the later releases. Besides, if you look at their changelog: http://freexperiaproject.com/ they haven't made any changes for Xperia 2011s. I'm going to bed soon, so hopefully my testers will have replied overnight and therefore I can release in the morning (AUS times).

Please define the 3G battery fix. This means that it will consume as much as wi-fi or it will be a battery killer again? I can't have my phone a full day with 3G on
[Xperia Arc Android Development] littlejoelgriffo:
I've got some really weird things happening with V2.0. If you follow the procedure to install Racing Bean V2.0 coming from another rom (with a data wipe), it will result in bootloop. However, If you install Racing Bean V2.0 as an update (without a data wipe) all works well and no bootloop.

So if someone wants to install 2.0 from another rom, they'll have to flash 1.1 first.....

I don't know if I should release :confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vijaykirann:

i also tried this before but not worth it. and actually i didn't like acid. it change nothing and use lot of memory and ram. i just want xLoud :)

but thank you for your interest
[Xperia Arc Android Development] littlejoelgriffo:
I'll be taking you up on that.

I agree. Ac!d slows down the phone and also, if you try listening to dubstep on the phone's speakers, the speakers try and do the bass but just distorts horribly. I much prefer the phone just not attempting what it can't do.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kaz93:
that is the reason why I told you to delete unecessary stuff from it..dolby, music widget, acid apk and others (free ram is my top priority). I used it on every cm10 based rom and I can guarantee you that it sounded louder compared to ICS rom..but for whatever reason, acid v5 will mess your sound if you running ICS. It is up to you though, good luck then.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kilouhm:
how much free ram we talking about ???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kaz93:
if that question is for me, free ram depends on your custom rom memory management since that all of the constantly running app is removed such as acid and dolby..the only thing that occupy your ram is walkman and soundenchancement. But this is my preference only since that a speaker with loud volume is important to me, and this mod doesnt seem to bog my phone down.

this is the list of stuff i removed after installing both acid and walkman addon:

FB stuff, music widget, social engine core,social plugin,trackid,dlna,dtcpip player,acid, and dolby.

.

I pretty much only needed the libs and other files..

about ram.. typical cm10 for me is 160mb free and with acid I got around the same unless walkman is playing music.

but it is indeed up to you guys how to judge my suggestion since that I couldnt find any other way to make my phone sound louder. If there is another way, feel free to inform me about it, that is why we are in xda ..sharing and exchange of knowledge

p/s: this is turning into some long explanation haha.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] littlejoelgriffo:
Re: [ROM][ARC/ARC S] Racing Bean {SOON V2.0} (Fastest rom, latest features)

ONCE, emphasis on the once, I captured a screenshot free ram of 228mb. But usually I get just past the 200mb mark. Of course it completely depends on what apps you've downloaded. Facebook, widget apps, Google + and go SMS all take huge chunks of ram.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] littlejoelgriffo:
Re: [ROM][ARC/ARC S] Racing Bean {SOON V2.0} (Fastest rom, latest features)

Just don't worry about basebands. If your going to flash one, 72 is best as 83 is for GB but its unnecessary.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] armutyus:
phone booting is so slow and battery decreased about %4-5(for example battery is: %86 and i simply do a restart then kernel's logo appear -long time- then boot animation and finally phone opening but battery %81)

is it about rom or kernel? i thought kernel is the problem. i want to use lupus. lupus is compatible with this rom?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Lord_Snake:
@armutyus, I think that we will be kind of forced to use Lupus if littlejoelgriffo rebase the ROM. The newer versions of FXP CM10 aren't compatible with Fusion, so I think that a few issues will be solved with that...

I'm really waiting for a Racing Bean with xLoud, Bravia E. 2 and rebased to use Lupus. :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 3andala:
first boot is slow its normal no problem with that

i think no judge to battery in first 2 days as example

if u care for battery flash fusion as known Fusion is more battery friendly at all ver. :D

as dev said ver 4.0 cuz somebody found in racing bean ver. 1.1 using Fusion 4.1 works perfect too but kill back button not working as he said

Regards
[Xperia Arc Android Development] littlejoelgriffo:
Re: [ROM][ARC/ARC S] Racing Bean {SOON V2.0} (Fastest rom, latest features)

There are three possible reasons to this problem. 1. You're using fusion v4.1 and need to use 4.0. 2. Your min CPU is too low, try 245/364mhz. 3. My old dalvik VM tweaks arent working too well, though as mentioned in change log, I greatly improved for v2.0.

All are fixable :)

better. Definitely better.

The reason 4.1 is unrecommended is because it causes randomly reboots.

Re: [ROM][ARC/ARC S] Racing Bean {SOON V2.0} (Fastest rom, latest features)

A question to the OP.

Do you will release 2.0 with a public link, or you will skip this release and work on the next one? Its just because i will have to flash back fusion 4.0, i'm on 4.1. And to do that will do a fresh install.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] huhuikaskus:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] littlejoelgriffo:
Re: [ROM][ARC/ARC S] Racing Bean {SOON V2.0} (Fastest rom, latest features)

Ill Probably skip releasing 2.0, unless I figure out a way to installed from another rom without boot loop.

Try getting nova launcher off play store, it has such a setting and much more.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Marchello1:
sugesstion: you should rebase your rom to some newer fxp release.. so we can use lupus kernlel 5.0 with it, i tested fusion and lupus, and lupus v5 is bit better than fusion 4.0

and why dont you try to compile cm 10.1 for arc, its better and faster than cm10, and im not sure does zackconsole intend to update his cm10.1 anymore...

thank you for this rom and keep a good job !
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gigabyt3:
If i flash Fusion 4.0 over 4.1 and after flash RacingBean 2.0 without data wipe, i will have that bootloop problem? At the moment i have Fusion4.1 and RacingBean 1.1. If there are no problem at all can you share with me the download link?
