I just installed 2.2.1 in my PRO... at first glance it looks very smooth, greast JB looks, lots of free RAM and very de-bloated. Cheers for that.

So far I've got some comments at first glance:

1.- SYM and LANG keys on our physical keyboard don't work. Most Xperia PRO users will want stock keyboard since this one provides support for those two keys, besides notification icons for SHIFT and FUNC (the blue square key) buttons. A flashable stock keyboard addon would be nice... but we'll love you if you manage to integrate Xperia T keyboard with the physical keyboard :D.

2.- Physical keyboard doesn't light up when opened... it may be related to #1 above.

3.- already mentioned... lack of flashlight in Quickpanel... this one is a must :).

I'll get back to you later after testing and doing my normal use and report back...

Thanks a lot for your efforts :P

EDIT: after titanium backup and restoring all my apz, I am getting some lag in multitasking... and also some lag in some puzzle games I do... my humble opinion is that there is room for optimization in performance. Other than that, I am loving this ROM... it's awesome to combine GB performance with JB looks, it's great. :)

Hey! man can you tell me what is the use of wifiapstate.apk in system folder... just curious to know.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] redhotiron2004:
Thanks for the link.

Ok, I have gone through the thread. I have some questions if you could answer them.

Have you tried those beats audio in this ROM. Did you experienced any changes for the better with that?

Also, the mod is mentioned for Arc, would it also work for XPERIA PRO?

Does everything works with this mod or something like xloud etc doesn't work?

A way to uninstall is mentioned in some post on that thread. But, they say that the EQ MENU would stop working after that. Can we restore this player back in case something goes wrong? I do like the sound on this ROM as well. But don't want to reinstall the whole Rom again just for music player.

And the last, can we also try beats audio 7 or 8 that have been released after these?

Flash this from Atomic GB.

This is xperia s launcher with many features with least memory footprint.

I use it myself. The apps in this Rom like dialer, launcher are old. But, the original creator doesn't seem to be responding!

---------- Post added at 09:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 AM ----------

i have a question,i think i already asked that one,but can't remember...

Do you guys use custom bootanimations and are they smooth? When i try to use any other bootanimations,they lag as hell.I tried lot's of them all lag except bootanimation provided with in ROM addons,and the xperia ics bootanimtion.All other lags.Tnx
[Xperia Arc Android Development] GeoTox:
Can you please post some screens? Cause I do like rom's stock launcher, it's very creative and I haven't seen any launcher like this in other roms.

I always wanted to flash nexus bootanimation. Have you tried it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pren22:
If that bootanimation is colored X than yes i tried it,it's not bad,a little lag but it's better than others i tried...

Screenshoots of launcher:

With this launcher you can change dock colors,transparency on app drawer,you can add or remove screens,min 1 max 11.I use this launcher for a long time,it's fast and pretty,it's not AOSP launcher but,still pretty good...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] GeoTox:
Yes, the bootanimation i was talking about is colored X )) The launcher is nice, is it smooth and is it faster than stock one?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pren22:
Than yeah that bootanimation is pretty smooth.The launcher is smooth and fast,i would dare to say it's faster than xperia arc stock launcher but not sure about stock launcher of Gin2JellyBean ROM if you know what i mean!Well you can make a nandroid backup and try it if you don't like it you can go back...Me personaly i like to have three screens not more than that i don't need more.The ROM's stock launcher is pretty and it's fast but the issue is that i can't make it three screens and if u arange icons on homescreens from top to bottom and when you turn your phone landscape the bottom rows of icons disappear.Hope you understand me...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] GeoTox:
Yep, thanks for your help )) I think I'll try this launcher when will be bored with stock one :p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] redhotiron2004:
If you ask me, then I would completely avoid any boot animation in my device. It slows down the mobile and makes the boot takes much longer than normal. Not to mention the extra space it needs in the system partition.

It doesn't fulfill any practical propose. And looking at the same old animation every time the device restarts is more irritating than anything.

Sent from my MK16i
[Xperia Arc Android Development] GeoTox:
Fully agreed ! But every medal has its reverse. Bootanimation requires ram/space and also load cpu while rendering but at the same time it makes loading of the system more creative and nice)) But I think we're off-topic now :P

By the way, does anyone know will be there any update for this ROM development has been stopped?

Is there any mod that makes this rom looks more like xperia z? :D

I think that the apps on the xperia 2013 line is more beautiful than the pure jb or gb :p

[Xperia Arc Android Development] gauravj:
WOW finally a rom in which i can play MC4 without overclock ;) really happy with it
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ltcdata:
After testing for a few days, this rom, clean install, with lupusGBV2, everything is great, speed, responsiveness, etc, except battery life. If i leave the phone overnight with only 2g on (no wifi no data) with a 70% charge, after 9 hours, the phone has 15%, and no app has wake up the phone. I don't know if this is kernel related or rom related, as both are new to me.

Last week i was on UHD3.0.2+LupusV16, and in the same conditions i had a loss of only 5% overnight.

What could it be?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] GeoTox:
I'm on the same rom with the same kernel bro. Performance settings are 1.3GHz max clock freq. and 249MHz min, governor - smartassV2, I/O - sio. Overnight drain i have is ~5-7% it's 1% per hour. Right now my battery stats are 2d 3h and 15% of battery left. My record is 4 days (without WiFi) and 3 days with WiFi.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] redhotiron2004:
Seems to be kernel related.

I am on stock and I cross the whole night with just 2-3% decrease at most.

Seems like u did something wrong cause the battery backup of this rom is awesome try to flash it again or change kernel
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ltcdata:
Well, today i think i have found the problem: the phone was not entering deep sleep due to an offending app.

I have the cpu set as min 134 max 1018, ondemand+SIO. I have installed betterbatterystats to research which is the offending app. I'll keep this thread posted.

Yesterday, overnight, 2g on, data off, i lost only 4% of charge, with deep sleep working ok after a reboot.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] GeoTox:
That's good result!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ltcdata:
Hi!

I have more info: i posted this in the lupusV2gb kernel thread, but i will post it here so you guys know:

More info: i think i have isolated the problem, and i think is kernel related:

Today the phone ran perfectly! i had the phone turned on 24hs, and only used 40% of battery! (2g, wifi off)

Tonight i plugged it in... then i unplugged it when it was charged... and the battery drain started again..

Looking at betterbatterystats, in other i see that the phone is "awake" almost the same time as "wifi on".

And if i check the kernel wakelock, i see that "wifi_rx_wake" has taken all the cpu time.

If i turn wifi off, the phone starts to go to deep sleep normally.

I have reinstalled both kernel and a clean install of the rom, and the problem persists.

Seems a bad driver perhaps?

Xperia Pro keyboard does not work.

I have flashed this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43262299 which kind of makes the keyboard work but at the same time it meshes up the UI. For example, the Icons becomes TOO BIG in status bar and power menu. and some buttons text becomes too small.

Is there any other fix? if not which ROM that is similar to this and works with xperia pro.

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] redhotiron2004:
I am using xperia pro and have no such problem with that patch. Maybe you should patch again after cleaning the cache etc through the RECOVERY mode. And in case that doesn't solve your problem. Attach a screen shot. Add we will see what's the real problem.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] kintesh:
See the screenshots. First one is without the patch and second one is with the patch. As you can see the UI changes from Holo to GB/Holo.

All I want is keyboard backlight. I don't need spell suggestion as swiftkey also provides the same functionality regardless of which ROM used. Can you point me to correct patch only for keyboard backlight.

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] redhotiron2004:
Patch this.

Link:

http://www66.zippyshare.com/v/75109074/file.html

Yes, the patch does make some fonts look like gb at some places. But, my notifications, keyboard backlight etc are working perfectly well. And other users on this thread with xperia pro have reported the same working keyboard backlight after using the patch.

After cleaning dalvik cache etc just install this patch. Then reboot add write something on the notepad etc as you want. Then just reboot it 2-3 times more. Things should start working.

Also, don't forget to force close the 'international keyboard' and clear cache once inside the default app manager.

Thanks for this ROM. The best GB at time.

But, I have a serious problem of battery drain: The Camera APP drains 7-10%, with no use (only one or two photos)...

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] redhotiron2004:
Are you using any other camera app other than the default one?

7-10% for just 2-3 pics is not possible until or unless the camera app is running in the background or some script or app is conflicting with the camera app.

Try using Lupus kernel. See if camera problem dissapears.

I am not asking for ETA. But, I would certainly like you to share your current progress, problems & options. Or your opinions regarding the rom. That would atleast let everyone waiting for your rom know that you are there and won't be leaving the development on it's own.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] kintesh:
Did you follow certain procedure? I know its nothing to do with kernel, but which one do you use?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] redhotiron2004:
The patch was meant to rectify the problems of the physical keyboard that xperia pro users have.

And xperia arc doesn't have one.

Xperia pro and xperia arc are different. Also, My main intention was to use all the features of my pro. So, I didn't mind a small graphic change. Infact, till now I have not even noticed the difference after the patch untill you posted those pics.

I am using this rom for the past 2 months with all my apps installed. And it still is buttery smooth. That speaks a lot about this rom.

By the way everything else other than the backlight seemed to work with the physical keyboard. So, that might just be the only thing left to rectify. I would like to install that patch to see if it works. Meanwhile, I need the link to update.

Also, I had read in the xperia play forum that they were using some tweaks on jin2gb rom to increase the gaming performance. Have you added that in this update as well?

I don't mind the adreno booster. But, would like to see those tweaks for other users as well. ;)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] redhotiron2004:
OK! Things are working quite well till now. The physical keyboard is working perfectly well finally :D.

But, The lights are not coming out for me. The front lights of the buttons just below the LCD are also not showing the back light .

I did flashed the percentage battery from the previous installation and I lost the new task manager along with newer changes. But, now I realized that you have updated the addons so I would flash them instead and see what happens.

I am quite happy with the update. The only problem now is the back-light. And also the play store FC for me before. But, after clearing the cache and all it started to work on the GPRS connection after 2-3 reboots. It still works but it shows FC in the first try after a reboot. Don't know why but it loads correctly in the background without any problem even after showing a FC prompt.

I am now looking for the tweaks that the Xperia play users are using to speed up the games.It is a well known fact the this ROM is the fastest ROM when it comes to games with that mod for Xperia play. I hope we too get those tweaks!

By the way does these things in the link below improve the performance of the ROM?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2226373

Also, Xtreme Core was an app on one of the thread which no longer exists. That was supposed to increase the performance of the ROM even more. Have anybody tried that on this ROM?

I want to know what other mods can be used to make the ROM lightning fast even after installing all the apps like 'Entopy mod', 'Fly-on-mod', 'Xtreme Core', 'Adreno booster'. Please share your views on the above mods as well. And share any new one that really could improve it further.

[MENTION=4474983]vokal1992[/MENTION] i just want to tell you this, man you are awesome. I wish i had installed this ROM earlier. It is faster then stock GB and it looks better then JB. I have it installed since yesterday and what i can say for now battery life is great, everything runs so smooth and looks great i didn't really play some games only Subway Surf and it runs better then ever. Every arc/arc s should have this ROM installed and Sony should definitely look at your work, they maybe learn how to make fast and smooth firmware for their devices. I also like that ROM comes with only few basic apps its so much easier to install some extra apps then to remove all unnecessary apps that comes with ROM.

I wish you all the best and i hope you will continue with updates :fingers-crossed:.
