Just updated from v1.1 to v2.0.1. Straight update, no wipe before flashing. :) Works perfectly.

I remember seeing a note one or two pages back about the version number in build.prop not being changed, so I'm not worried about the fact that it still says 1.1 in About Phone.. Straight off the bat I can see I've got Walkman player, the settings background has changed, and the button backlights are disabled, so it's definitely 2.0.1.

So far, no issues. Although, other than 3G battery drain, I had no problems with 1.1 either.. :D Thanks for the update.

LuPuS v6 was one of the kernels I tried when I was first trying to install Racing Bean, not sure if I was simply doing something wrong, but my Arc S got stuck in a bootloop when I flashed Racing Bean 1.1. While with Arc Fusion 4.0 and 4.1 I couldn't even get into recovery... It runs really nicely with FXP kernel though. :)

Re: [ROM][ARC/ARC S] Racing Bean V2.0.1 (Fastest rom, latest features)

Guys, need suggestion.

1. I cant backup with cwm. getting message "error making image of /system. is it problem with kernel or rom?

recently i use link2sd, I format my 32gb class 10 sdcard a second partition 1gb, primary, fat32. is there any consequencies about this regarding my failed cwm backup?

2. (deleted - just read that v.2.0.1 got new camera. really wants to update, but need to make cwm backup first :( stuck with problem no.1)

3. I read someone in this thread talk about Bravia Engine 2. Can it be installed in this ROM? can any give link that compatible with) ?

any response / suggestion will be appreciated.

I've tested this rom extensively with gpu-demanding games such as Final Fantasy Dimensions, Temple Run 2, etc. and haven't had a single freezeup or force close. Granted, this ROM won't work nearly as well as GB-based roms.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Hmmm... I think I found a bug, not sure if it's just me though. Has anyone else tried to edit the custom levels when using automatic brightness?

If I go to Settings > Display > Automatic Backlight, enable 'Use Custom', then tap 'Edit other levels...', I instantly get a "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" message and the menu goes back to the root settings menu. I'd really like to tweak the brightness settings, the screen is a little bit brighter than I'd like with auto brightness enabled. :/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] littlejoelgriffo:
Re: [ROM][ARC/ARC S] Racing Bean V2.0.1 (Fastest rom, latest features)

Well I personally tested coming from another rom and installing via second post and it worked like a charm but since so many others are having this problem, I'll add this to second post instead.

Yeah, enable it at 16%. It compresses your recent apps so you can multitask a lot better.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] catman2u:
so in fact what you're saying is there is no "coming from v 1.1" - upgrade not possible, always wipte data. never mind that you have to go back to ICS (?!) the data is what matters. while I really REALLY like your rom and seriously consider doing this, I dare say something is odd here because I never saw this was required on ~ 5 ROMS I've tried to date. Hope you're looking into this ;) just a nuisance, I agree, but I mean it's annoying!! :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] littlejoelgriffo:
I never said that. You can update without wiping. I merely said that I had tested data wiping before installation and it didn't cause problems. If you wish to update from Version 1.1, just follow the instruction in the second post.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Lord_Snake:
I've used Pimp My Rom. It downloads the file and I've flashed it manually on CWM. But I don't notice any difference. Probably because I'm not using stock gallery app...

I'm not n expert but this hints that formatting /system has something to do with the "error 7" we now get coming from 1.1 to 2.0.1

maybe we don't at all NEED to format /system in the first place ?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Tatann9:
Same problem for me :mad:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Moon.lSd:
Ofc no. It must use CM10-based kernel on Jelly Bean ROM.

What about brightness and customization? In AOKP m5.1, max brightness just a half of stock Sony ICS and random reboot issues of Fusion 4.1 are two things made me switch from AOKP m5 to .587 based-stock Xperia T ROM. And what CPU and IO mode to reach that battery stage?

Btw, good ROMs, keep up bros :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] littlejoelgriffo:
Please read post #20 for brightness.

Use Arc Fusion V4.0 not V4.1.

I used 184 ~ 1200mhz interactiveX, deadline without touching voltages for my screenshots in the OP.

A battery tip: stay away from Mr. 3g unless you have to. WiFi is far more preferable.

EDIT: Updated the faq for battery tips.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] XtremeSilencer:
hi!

well i flashed 4.1 fusion and full wipe then flashed rom!

booted up nicely!

but i coudnt find trebuchet launcher settings!!

xperia hone has preferences but there is no trebuchet settings!!

edit found it sorry!

but camera is not 16:9 ratio !

any fix?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Moon.lSd:
When I post my reply, only 6 posts were made :P

I use InteractiveX/Deadline with almost kernel, and only keep 1 day. But I remember the last time I don't touch the phone and switch off wifi, data, etc, my Arc can last ~5 days with stock ROM.

I have to use 3G almost the time :) Wifi, Bluetooth, 3G and auto-sync always on, max brightness :) I think the phone was made to be used, not to be keep it safety :) And I have unlimited data plan, too.

Another issue I saw with AOKP ROM, video recording has very poor quality. This ROM can record HD video, can it?

Maybe I will wait for next update, for on-screen button and brightness fix. Thank you!

[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
No you don't have to just make sure you flash the kernel and wipe data cache and dalvik cache. If you have to flash anything before it will be in installation instructions mate :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] yukarundeng:
yea, that's my first impression, too

it is fast, the best JB i tried so far, still gonna test it more

it's only the background, it's like it doesn't suit the speed of this ROM :D

just a suggestion, would you make a background just like in Revolution ICS HD? :)

also, if you can put xperia T launcher in exchange of this xperia launcher, that's be great :)

Re: [ROM][ARC/ARC S] Racing Bean V2.0.1 (Fastest rom, latest features)

Just been playing some temple run 2 and great game. :good: Anyway so it runs pretty smooth (on 249 ~ 1200mhz OndemandX) but every now and then it'll slow down and lag. Nothing major, I have yet to die because of lag. My aim is to eliminate those minor lags in V2.1.

On another topic, what do you guys think of the Xperia style quick settings icon? I think that when you press it, it should go blue instead of gray. Or red. That'd be pretty cool.

Hey, littlejoelgriffo already told that he forgot to actualize the build.prop to v.2.0.1.

Even so, if you're not sure of what you did, just check if your button lights are working. ;)

Maybe the status 7 many users (including me) are getting is related to the device.

Mine is a Xperia Arc (LT15i), and installing racing bean 1.1 gives me no problem, but somehow installing 2.0.1 is quite imposible. I don't know if it has something to do with it, but I flashed a file via flashtool, to extend the instern memory partition from 380 mb to 420 mb. Could it be that this is the reason?

Sorry, but I really need my phone on and working, so for now I won't try it. Anyone has tried it yet?

On the other hand, noob question: Does the LT18i stock ROM others mentioned come with the Baseband within? Since this ROM has BB 72 by default, maybe it is the culprit of our status 7 error. I have BB 77, and after 5 attempts to flash 2.0.1, I remain in BB 77, so the problem happens before or right in the moment when flashing the BB.

I haven't tried flashing the stock rom, because I didn't have time for it last night when trying to flash 2.0.1 unsuccesfully. Did you guys in 2.0.1 have BB 72 when you upgraded?
