op he means that for test only to get max score at antutu you have to set your oc aplication at min and max at 1600 and governor performancr if any kernel suported but only to see your score not for use i recomend for use the kernel uploaded from me today with min freq 364 max 1600arc s 1400arc ....governor lionheart,lagfree, or smart ass 2 ...with sio i/0 performance boost increase graphical boost but afaict the gaming general if you use games dont flash it
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dimchris:
Thank you besttt but the answers are not very cleared to my questions 1,2 & 3!

Can you please be more specific?

at 1)He used another kernel with performance governor?And if yes, witch one?

at 2)Performance boost affects what and how exactly?Shouldn't it be better for games also???It is a performance boost!

at 3)About the redraws?

and one more...

4)What are the differences between fusion and the kernel you recommended?Is one better in battery?games?what?

5)You suggested to use 364 min.I have noticed that when i change the min, then the phone does not go into deep sleep mode.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] besttt:
i said many kernels has performance governor almost all but its not for use its only for test your score because performance means always the maximum freq you set you can test it and with no performance governor set any kernel to any governor and i?O you want and set min and max 1600 and do your tests

performance boost afaicts the gaiming very much dont use it if you are gamer performance boost its only for general performane not for graphical

the diference about kernel that i post before is that has 25 diferents governor to choose and 7 i/o diferent to choose suports 6mp photo hd video record based at fxp 211 sources more ram free even hd suported

I am experiencing a huge battery leak. Screen on for 30mins and battery went from 100 to 17%. Android system is the largest battery consumer: 60%.

Any suggestion?

Im using fusion kernel 4.5. Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] catman2u:
Thanks!

wanted to say Thanks littlejoe,

I ended up installing 3.1 and everything seems to work pretty well.

I did have a few quirks I'll share here but I'm not complaining all in all this ROM is the best I've seen to date and THANKS a lot for sharing it!

-on 1st attempt, inserting headphones will not silence speaker, and move sound to the headphones. was a bit odd was changing ringtones on the bus until someone hinted that the sound is on speaker ;)

-on 1st attempt could not switch ICS Camera from stills to video

these were both resolved later on, probably by a reboot.

That's about it so far, just FYI but mostly, I mean - thanks!

thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] besttt:
no my friend included at kernel paranoid kernel i posted some pages back
[Xperia Arc Android Development] amyren:
What kernel

littlejoelgriffo:

First thanks very much for your hard work.

Makes me wish there was someone like you to work on the mtk6575 roms as well:)

One request though, could you provide a direct link to the current recommended kernel?

I think the link to the fusion thread only will show a link to download version 5.0

Thats a bit confusing for someone starting from scratch like me here.

I had a go at this last weekend on my sons LT18i. He was on GB, so I said I would update it for him. Starting from scratch I did not start at this thread, but followed various instructions revealed by google search.

I have a china phone S3 clone myself and have it rooted and played around with flashing and updating, so I thought this should be an easy task.

Starting with downgrading the phone to an older GB 2.3.4 042 in order to root it, then found I had to unlock the bootloader in order to continue.

Then found this racing been thread and decided to go for it.

Followed the link and found the fusion 5.0 kernel. Installed the racingbean and the modules. Ended up with stuck with a big X on the booting screen. This weekend (I found out later) the rom link was updated from 3.0 to 3.1. So I'm not sure if it was the 3.0 or 3.1 that I did try.

The strange thing was that after I had been in recovery mode once and installed the RB rom and modules, the phone refused to boot into recovery mode again.

I was running out of time at this point, my son had to leave for school in another city, so my fastest way to get his phone working againg was to flash the old GB firmware back again.

So that is the current status, I will try again, but that will probably not be until mid april.

In the mean time I had the chance to read through all the 107 pages of posting in this thread. Very interesting reading to see the progress being made, problems that came along and the solutions.

So now I have done some preparing, downloading some kernels to try and the latest 3.1 rom, hopefully I will sucseed next time.

But after reading the whole thread I am still confused about what kernel to choose. There was a link to the 4.3 kernel, so I did fetch that for later. Then besttt have provided link to the paranoidkernel, but I noticed that one user complained about slowdown on that kernel. Dont know if that is a special case or if its a commom issue... Then I notice in littlejoel's sig he seem to use RB3.1 with the fusion 4.4 kernel.

I dont know the benefits with 4.4 over the 4.3 kernel, and I still havent found a link to the 4.4 kernel.

On the links in the second post, I will find fusion 5.0 kernel. But that is not a recommended version I think?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] amyren:
Thanks. I already downloaded the panic kernel as you posted, and the 4.3 for later use.

Is the panic kernel based on 4.5 HD version then?

And 4.4 is not any better (as in the current littlejoelgriffo sig)?

Also hope that the second post could be updated so that it points to a working kernel, instead of the 5.0

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

It says in the instructions that you should install USB fix OR the on screen buttons.

I think I saw one question about this earlier in the thread, but I dont think it ever was answered.

USB fix obviously fixes some usb issues, is this still needed for 3.1?

It says OR. Does this mean that if you want to fix usb issues, you can not have on screen buttons?

..or is it ok to install both?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] huhuikaskus:
Re: [ROM] Racing Bean V3.1 (NEW UPDATE!) (Arc/Arc S)

it means installing on screen button is already covered the usb fix issue, so there's no need to install both of them, if you dont want on screen button, just install usb fix, if you want the onscreen button, just install onscreen button (to fix the usb AND having onscreen button).

unlocking bootloader

two questions.

I did unlock the bootloader on this Arc S earlier before I tried (and failed) to install the RB at my first attempt.

Then I did flash the old GB firmware back to the phone to get it working again.

1. Do I need to unlock the bootloader again now, or is this a one-time procedure?

2. If coming from GingerBread 2.3.4, is it then ok to start with the instructions in the second post... or is it recommended to do a stock ICS update first?

I am trying to install this on my arc previous rom Arconium 8.2 (or whatever was the last GB arconium)

fastboot flash boot "latest fusion kernel" and boots ok in recovery

flash baseband 77 with flashtool

go in recovery, wipe data/cache, format /system

install baseband libs

install racing bean zip -> fails with system 7

but now...

what baseband to use? i use 77. do i have to install the accompanying libs? when do i flash the baseband libs? how? should i use a different baseband? libs? bb 77 is for 4.1.B.0, fusion kernel is 4.1.B.1.13

I understand i have to use the arc s ftf to fix the system 7 problem

where do i find the arc s ftf? Which one should i use? i don't have an S, i have the plain ARC, is it ok? I understand flashing that ARC S ftf installs *everything* (kernel, baseband, libs, rom, adjusts partitions etcetcetc). So what do i have to reinstall after flashing the ARC S ftf? baseband? libs? kernel for sure.

you have to flash a rom (an ICS?/JB? .ftf, from flashtool), specifically for the ARC *S* on your ARC, somehow.

Wouldn't this thread be half as big if everybody read the FAQ :)

For status 7, before I released 3.1, I tested by coming from atomic GB (stock GB based) and all worked beautifully. So my advice is don't flash any basebands and make sure you wipe EVERYTHING before installing: Data, cache, system, dalvik cache. Though if all fails, use the link in the post 2 above me.

All that was in the FAQ. People can't read the first page of a thread before installing. :)
