Hello All,

First time post and as an offering, I will say 'thanks' to anyone that responds in a positive manner to my post (trying to win some friends) :laugh:

Here's my issue, I have an Arc S LT18i.

Unlocked bootloader and rooted.

Whenever I flash anything custom the touch screen fails to respond, i've flashed LupusV7, slim bean 3.1 and 3.2 (with arc fusion 3.6 and 4.5) and Super Jelly Bean. All seemingly start without any issues and the physical buttons work no problem. BUT the screen refuses to work in anyway at all!!

I have made sure I wiped the system, cache and delvak (sp?)

Any help greatly appreciated, I am a NOOB but underneath it all I'm just trying to make the most of this wonderful Arc S...

Anything you want to know, please ask away...

Please help.

Namaste

Ricky:fingers-crossed:

Same thing!!

Hello and thank you for the reply...

I flashed stock ICS .587 (world india) from this site talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239

Does that count as stock ICS .587? :confused:

And then followed the rest of the instructions, the exact same thing happens... buttons work but the touch screen does not!? :mad:

Any other ideas please? Or does anyone else have a suggestion?

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply to me.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricky7D:
compatible ROM and Kernel

Hello, thanks for the reply...

According to the Slim Bean page, I can use ANY kernel with that rom. But also, if I just have the Lupusv7 Kernel on there, the touch screen doesn't work within that, so not a ROM/Kernel conflict I belive.

I've also tried other Kernel/ROM combinations, same thing keeps on happening. Touchscreen works 100% with a SE restore, stock ROM.

Any other ideas please??
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
It's best to use the recommended kernel as stated on the ROM thread. Try another kernel and see how things go.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricky7D:
Kernel or ROM issue?

Hello,

As previously mentioned, the reccomended kernel is Lupusv7, When i flash this Kernel into recovery mode, all looks well but as it has a touch screen interface this still doesn't work!

I'm presuming that it cannot be a conflict as it's happen before I instll the new ROM etc... the touch screen doesn't even work within the GUI of the Lupusv7 kernel. :mad:

I can get multiple ROMS to load with different kernels but so far, none have booted with the touch screen working!!

I am very much a noob but have read loads of articles on how this should be done, unless i'm missing something very obvious which isn't stated then I dont see anyone else having this issue.

Any clues people? :good:

Thanks, Ricky

AROMA?

Hello Someguyfromhell,

I haven't used AROMA, the guides i've been reading haven't mentioned this!?

This is the process I went through:

flashed stock ICS ROM

flashed kernel

wipe data/cache/davlik

flashed rom

rebooted, ROM loads up and the touch screen doesn't work.

Any help you can give me on AROMA, links etc?

I'm looking right now, but a 'leg up' would be great.

Thanks for the reply. :)

Ricky
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monemmostafa:
here what to do

- Make sure you had installed Official 4.0.4 ftf pack

- When flashing official ftf pack remember to exclude / tick these things:

1. simlock.ta (Exclude TA)

2. Kernel.sin (Exclude kernel)

3. FOTA (Exclude FOTA)

After flash successful, power on your phone and let it start completely

- Now you can start to install any ROM

1.Flash the Recommended Kernel: Vengeance , KTG Anzu , RUSH

2. Place ROM on SD card

3. Power off the phone and boot into CWM

3. Backup and restore > choose Backup

4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset

5. Mounts and storage > Format /system

6. Advanced > Wipe battery stats

7. Install zip from SD card > Choose the rom

8. if rom uses aroma Follow on screen instructions on AROMA, remember to choose "Unlocked bootloader" and also the correct kernel modules and of course the correct phone model

9. After complete installation tick "Reboot" and let the phone restart

10. Give the phone a good full charge, and enjoy ur phone !

11.THE MOST IMPORTANT THING PRESS THANKS if I helped :):)

Then did you install the device-specific patch?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eakav:
ok man, you've got the same problem like me ;)

First thing, all roms that make your touch screen doesn't work will based on cm (e.g. cm10, slim, any jb).

and ALL STOCK roms will get no problem.

There's lot of people here got this problem and still has no clue why this problem occure to ours, so sad story.

Someone says that the touch screen firmware sould be updated to the lastest version, but i don't know how.

One solution that i found is, remove the battery to turn off then turn it on to reboot again and again. If you lucky enough, the touch screen will work like a miracle!

and the success rate is also <50% ( based on my experience only) :o
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricky7D:
AROMOA guide?

on all the ROM guides, I have never seen a part where it says i should install a device specific patch, do you have a link to where these may be?

Or even a ROM with guide where it says this? I'm very happy to follow that to get this working. I have no preference to CM10, Slim Bean, Racing Bean etc... as of yet i've not been able to use any of them.

Thanks for the continued response.

Ricky
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricky7D:
THANK YOU

Ah ha... sounds like you have the same problem as me!

Did you manage to get any JB ROM working? If so, which one, just so I can try that also...

Does anyone else have an idea on how to update the touch screen firmware?

Really appreciate the feedback, thank you one and all!! :o

This solution is the one that i think it can move some files which related to touch screen.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34593771&postcount=23

But sorry, it still get sometimes for the touch screen didn't response :crying:

However, as i mentioned above; you can get ALL jb rom working :fingers-crossed:

But depends on your luck. Just turn it off when the touch screen didn't response, then turn it on again (and again) untill it work.

I hoped that the new linux kernel will solve this...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lewis7139:
No touch

I have same issue have tried many stock based roms and kernels no problem but any CM based rom I have no touchscreen.

You can reboot and about 1 in 5 times it will work

Maybe it only affects certain versions of the phone. I even tried re-locking bootloader and doing official sony update then tried CM again I tried 7.1,9 and 10

same problem.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricky7D:
Here's where I am...

UPDATE:

So, here is where I am. Using advice from previous replies I have managed to install Xperia Ultimate HD and this is working off of the Lupus kernel without any issues. I'm still unable to get ANY Jelly Bean roms working...

Maybe my device will just not work on JB :crying:

Any other tips or tricks are greatly appreciated, would love to get JB working on here my beloved Arc S.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lewis7139:
Touch screen work around

Well I have a work around that works with the 2.6 CM based kernels but not the 3.x CM based.

You need to extract the "cy8ctma300_fwloader" file from a stock ICS based rom in /system/bin/ and place it in a CM10 rom zip in /system/bin/ then edit the "hw_config" file in "/system/etc/" and paste this line "cy8ctma300_fwloader -dev /sys/devices/platform/spi_qsd.0/spi0.0 -no_condition".

like this

Sample hw-config

# LMU AS3676 Configuration

dev=/sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds

echo 450 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current

cy8ctma300_fwloader -dev /sys/devices/platform/spi_qsd.0/spi0.0 -no_condition

# TI BQ275xx firmware loader

bq275xx_fwloader

I found if I extracted the hw_config file from the Cm zip then modify it delete the old one and copy it back into the zip file.

I found winrar worked well for extracting and re-zipping

Then flash the rom zip as normal

The "cy8ctma300_fwloader" is missing in the CM based roms

.

But some phones like mine seem to need this file to get the touchscreen to respond.

If someone could get the source for this file, developers could compile it to run with any kernel

I think may be a hardware bug with some arc s phones

Hope this helps someone

Ok this is 2014, the problem still remains. I have no idea how to bypass it.

My advice is never in any case to reboot from software: turn phone off, turn it on again. You have more chances of getting your screen working that way.

I have an HTC HD2 in need of repair. I took the phone in to a repair place that gave me the impression later that they weren't quite as knowledgeable as I may have thought. In other words, I would like to get a second opinion. What I am looking for is a place that is good at diagnosing ALL aspects of cell phone troubles. Not just non functioning digitizers or volume controls not working, but hardware issues as well. Does anyone know of a place like this in Toronto. (GTA) Any help would be greatly appreciated

It might be cheaper to get another HD2 rather than repair one..

jackq for recolouring some red png files

bingobingobingo for making the toggle icons

OlliG for his Rom Fumbler, making it easy for me to grab some suitable signal icons

Spannaa for getting me interested in this in the first place & offering some advice

It is still a work in progress... things I still want to add/change/improve... SO IT'S NOT PERFECT YET.

VERSION 2.3 "LIVERPOOL GLASS"

- now it's a simple flash over a stock rom...

Now based on Carotix Glass Themes.

Battery Now Red Android, with yellow Liverbird when on charge.

Yellow Liverbirds on Dialpad number buttons.

Fixed tab selection colour in dialler etc.

Fixed colour of brightness slider

Minor icons recoloured or replaced (most should be done now)

Slider converted to use a Liverpool icon

Android in Liverpool strip comes up when dialling, animated by 5 Champions League Trophies

Liverpool clock in notification bar when alarm set, In clock settings grey/full colour for off/on

Colour on menu frames now matching (thanks Carotix)

Change wallpaper to plain whilst incall, so icon doesn't sit over logo.

6 Liverpool backgrounds to choose from in mms

Replacement icons for phone/log/favourites/contacts tabs done

Banner added to close bar of notification dropdown

Created stock icons for phone/messages/contacts/app tray - black on red liverbird background (looks best on TW stock launcher)

Added an optional UCCW clock in post 2

Added some other optional UCCW widgets in post 2

Optional theme wallpaper of Suarez & Sterling to go with UCCW widgets in post 2

Added modded browser icon as requested

Change icons on clock tabs - football related.

Change mms wallpaper number 3

To do/needs fixing (so you don't need to tell me)

Change the 'in call' unknown contact icon....

Carry on reviewing current system icons

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] FleetFanatic:
To be fair, I am new to this. I am aiming for a predominately red on black theme, so it is far from finished. :)

Also consider that I doing this on unrotted/odexed stock rom, as I need to use apps that won't allow root, even if hidden.

But I like the contacts list, the 'in call' android man in a Liverpool strip... there are plenty of updates to come in the days & weeks ahead.

I have made a red android battery, with a yellow liverbird when on charge that will be updated later.

I was also thinking of a circular liverpool badge on the brightness slider.

I do need the framework changed so it can work with/without the alliance mod. It was the only way I had it working on lsd rom.

For now, I carry on working at work...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rene_ajax:
I could help you.. Got ALL links to change whatever you want! And better make it red/blue like liverpool colors. About birgthness slider great idea!

Also u can mod the lockring with th liverpool logo!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] FleetFanatic:
OK. Well I've already switched bases to Carotix glass theme, but in red obviously. That way it flashed for me without alliance rom.

Just working out how to fix a menu size issue then I will start swapping png's to get it to the way shown above.

After that, we can work out between us how to take the idea forward?

I prefer the idea of black/red/yellow as black is the away shirt colour & obviously yellow is on both shirts.

Never been a fan of the marine blue used in the modern badge.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] FleetFanatic:
Carotix said he is too busy to do a Red Glass theme, so as mentioned earlier, I have been using the red png's for that theme.

This means it should now flash on LSD directly, with no other files needed.

Currently have a couple of outstanding issues, caused by the dreaded 9.png's but I've got the size issue fixed, just need to sort out their colour now.

Just in the process of moving the Liverpool stuff that I have done to date over & then I'll update the first post before carrying on with some work on it.

YNWA.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] FleetFanatic:
Update about to be uploaded.

As mentioned before, based now on Carotix's glass themes.

Temporarily the pop up menus are not the colour intended (currently blue surround), this will be fixed at a later date.

Is there a dev out know how to edit icons?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] FleetFanatic:
Yes I know that you can only theme system apps.

Being on Nova Launcher, and the fact I put all my most used apps on my home screens, means that I can change them manually to whatever I want. A pain, yes, but needs must. Not worried about what's in the app tray as I don't use it much.

To change a market app, I believe if you decompile it, and change it, then recompile, then the app stops working. Something to do with the compilation key.
