Hi,

I have no problems to jump from ICS to GB (wipe everything). Keyboard works great on xeria pro.

Install the Lupus for GB and test it. Do a backup via CWM before, so you can go back if you want.

I've tested all the ROM's, searching for the best one for me. And I'm sure I test some more. But I'm always come back to this one.

Have fun.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] seventhworl:
This ROM is absolutely AWESOME! Is there a way to display percentage of battery?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Furosemid:
Vokal1992 had a percentagebattery.zip for V2.5.2 in his addon folder, but not for 3.0. He will work on in if he have more time.

I flashed the old one and have no problems but there is no download at the moment.

Best wishes
[Xperia Arc Android Development] seventhworl:
Could you upload and share a link please?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wolframio74:
Great rom!!!, any way to add small apps, small on screen buttons and ics task manager?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Someguyfromhell:
Small Apps are not possible, though one alternative is Tiny Apps from Play Store.

On-screen buttons are not possible by Android framework, maybe there is alternative, though not sure.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Furosemid:
I'm not at home the next two days, sorry.

Does anyone have issue with superuser? After changing kernel, its seems to stop responding and i cannot access and allow any permissions?

----------------------

Solved: flash kernel, them flash rom :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] palimatix:
flash the super user zip from cwm ... can get it from http://androidsu.com/superuser/

get the one for arm devices
[Xperia Arc Android Development] seventhworl:
After using this Rom for a while, I must admit is one of the best and fastest Roms. Although I am missing percentage display of battery and alarm clock app. Do you think it's possible to use one from other Rom? Thanks

Sent from my MK16i
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thelast3lack:
Is this rom being developed? I'm thinking of a switch to it and it's kind of important.

Also, no big bugs i suppose? right?

Anyway, thanks to developer for a nice rom. I had it some time ago and it was good back then.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] PRAKASHPANDEY193:
For alarm clock open ur clock nd press menu button.... Nd for battery percentage u have to revert back to gin2jellybean bcoz vocal not issued a battery percentage for gin2kitkat...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] boy_ice1987:
Really thank about this rom!!! It work so well, fast and so smooth more than GB rom I've tried before. But after test both version, I think v2.5.2 faster than v3.0.0. Then I decided come back to v.2.5.2 :D

Thank again and hopping you will improve v.3.0.0 in the future! :D

Cheers,
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pren22:
Yes,it's still developing,but even if it's not,you can't find better and more stable ROM then this one.It's very fast,stable,lots of free RAM.But as boy_ice said bellow i think 2.5.2 is much faster,but i might be wrong...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Furosemid:
Hi,

here are the battery.zip from vocal1992, the clock, and the systemui.apk I'm using.
[MENTION=4474983]vokal1992[/MENTION] if it's not ok for you that I uploaded your file I will delet it.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] seventhworl:
Thanks, I understand that zip is to flash and apps need to be moved into system/apps?

Also I think I noticed bug, when I turn phone into landscape mode in main screen apps, shortcuts which are located at bottom disapere. Then aren't show on screen but when I go back to normal view there are displayed normally.

Thanks

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Furosemid:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] pren22:
Yeah it's bug with launcher thats what annoys me with that launcher and thats why i don't use it...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kzizo:
BEST Rom ever thanks man ,can't wait for the next version :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] n3n00:
[MENTION=4474983]vokal1992[/MENTION]

^He said it and I'll repeat it. The best ROM for not only Arc/S, but probably all Xperia 2011 models you worked on. I'm using it for probably 7-8 months, and I was a ROM freak before (new ROM every few weeks).

There aren't any bugs I see right right now but I hope you can improve it even more and get back old features some users wanted. That would be awesome.

Keep up the good work and congratulations on Nexus 5 (saw that in Play thread) :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] seventhworl:
Thanks for that, really made change, especially status bar.

Just make sure you flash battery zip before pushing system ui, otherwise it might revert change of how status bar looks like.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Furosemid:
I just want to say: It's not my file, all credits go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2235087

Thanks Alot

Hi All,

I have been using Ultimate Xperia HD 5.1 since long... but recently I am fade up with force closes... I was searching for Best GB Custom ROM and found Gin2Jellybin best...

I have flashed it recently... on Monday... but ever since I have been trying to make GPS working... also after flashing OTA the Soft keyboard stops working. even I tried clearing dalvik cache as suggested by one member in one of the above post several times but still not working hence I am back on 2.5.7...

Below is the details:

model mk16i, baseband:72, kernel Lupus GB2

first I wiped all (System,Data,cache,dalvik)

then I flashed gin2jellybin rom

after that I flashed my Wi-Fi module.

GPS not working or Google maps is not able to locate my cell even GPS is turned on.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pren22:
Well i just tested maps,i downloaded from playstore and started the maps it asked me to turn GPS,as soon as i checked GPS it found my location.

I'm using Xperia Arc,Gin2KK3.0.0 and bb82 and lupusgb2.Just saying...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] seventhworl:
I am using GPS on daily bases and works great, is finding my location much faster then inn uhd. Maybe try fresh installation, so flash stock, then flash kernel, and flash Rom. That's how I did it and everything works great.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ronak383:
guys please suggest me :confused: should i update to 3.0 or else stay on 2.5.2?:( i mean which one is better in looks n smoothness :)?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pren22:
I don't know what to tell you...The changelog says 3.0.0 is much smoother,faster than 2.5.2 but i'm not sure.I'm using 3.0.0 but i don't like transparent statusbar so i changed it with 2.5.2 statusbar and i changed wifi,signal,battery icons i like blue...So what can i tell about 3.0.0 it's pretty good,fast,stable everything works.But hey you can try both and see by yourself which one you prefer.Cheers
[Xperia Arc Android Development] n3n00:
Same thing :D systemui.apk and framework-res.apk from 2.5.2
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hertell:
Could someone be so kind and write a list of all kernels that are recommended to use with this Rom? I'm having trouble to figure out which kernel to use. In the first post there is written that Stock-kernels should be used. It could maybe be also a point opening up a separate thread where this list could be maintained?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thelast3lack:
I could use a recommended kernel, too.

Plus, if anyone can give me a link to kernel, I will be grateful, since GB kernels thread are old and, for example, I couldn't download doomkernel just now.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ronak383:
u could use lupus v2 kernal :) i use the same and have no problem, everything works great :D here's a link for it ;) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2295062
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pren22:
If you are using xperia arc then you have only 2 kernels doomkernel and lupus gbv2 as i know no other kernels are out there for arc,for other xperia 2011 line i don't know...

I'm using lupus GBv2 it's perfect with this ROM.

If your bootloader is locked then you are stuck with stock kernel but if it's unlocked then there is no point of using stock when with custom kernel you get much better things,for starters you get cwm and twrp on lupus.If you need doomkernel i have v22 on my laptop so if you can't find it anywhere i can upload it for you,just PM me.Cheers
[Xperia Arc Android Development] seventhworl:
Thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hertell:
I just realised that i forgot to mention that i have the Xperia Pro.. I did not know that there are different kernels for these phones.. :silly:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] templar54:
Okay, after some messing up I managed to set this rom up on my pro with lupusv2 kernel, but the problem I have, things constantly crash and shutdown reports, at least 10 of those as soon as I turned on the phone, happen constantly then trying to do anything, for example I cant open my contacts. I suspect it can be because gapps are too new(I used to use latest cm). I might be wrong, any ideas how to fix it? This rom is super smooth, I dont want to get back to what I had before.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] palimatix:
Gapps? This is not CM based.. it is stock ROM.. you just need to flash kernel and ROM and that's it. No gapps ! Try again and let me know

:good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bigbrother69:
Well I took a look to this link, his creations are awesome :D

You can for example try this one : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2384531

but it is a bit buggy

Otherwise, I made a zip, a mix between one of the systemui.apk and quicksettings, and the result look like this :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42812201&postcount=185

and seems to be a bit buggy too but usable for me

You can try mix I made HERE

Although, you have plenty other solution, like just take QuickSettings in one of the zips available, to get a torch toggle :)

Thanks to all the work of these developpers who creates amazing things.

your v3.0 is really fast and stable vokal1992, thank you for all your work !
[Xperia Arc Android Development] templar54:
Hmmm, maybe I was not clear enough, I did not flash gapps after flashing kernel and rom, my knowledge is limited as you can see, I just assumed that gapps are always needed, and since cm I had was based on newer version of android I assumed that moving to this would conflict with newer version of programs. BTW I tried flashing again, still get the same result.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] n3n00:
Did you try without custom kernel? It should work perfectly fine...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] palimatix:
flash stock kernel as suugessted above by [MENTION=3285049]n3n00[/MENTION].. also make sure you are formatting the /system too
[Xperia Arc Android Development] templar54:
Thanks, I wiped system, now everything works fine, appearantly it just needed fresh instal.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thelast3lack:
superuser is not working for me. It FCs when I open it, and no program requiring root works.

I had a clean install with lupus gb v2 kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thelast3lack:
I just found out that I had disabled USB debugging. Enabling it solved problem.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vokal1992:
Percentage Battery Addon Coming Soon...

So, after many designed icons, this will be the final and official one for Gin2KitKat! It fits great! (I think)

Let me know what you guys thinks!

Edit: The Percentage Battery Addon will be universal for any Gin2KitKat version, with no need to update it everytime I update the Rom :p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] n3n00:
It's good (centered one is fine too, though - I don't use any) :) but can you please make additional zip for nontransparent statusbar when you release the new update?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] redhotiron2004:
They are fine. I liked the blue ones as well. And maybe the centered percentage number in battery icon was a better and cleaner approach. Because now the percentage is looking as a seperate entity. And is not looking in a flow.

I just want to request the 2 toggles back. Flashlight and reboot. I have been waiting for that. You can even provide them as flashable addon for the old statusbar for ones who want them back.

And a big thanks :thumbup:for supporting our devices.

:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dakshesh.b85:
OK...

It worked... i did the reflashing...

But i am eed ans to second doubt... how do i fix Soft keyboard issue???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Phenomzye:
As the bugreporter section won't load at all... must post here.

Just did a clean install and I'm getting 1000 FCs that won't let me use the phone, followed all instructions, clean install, LuPuS GBv2, modules installed.

(Behind that FC message you can see there are like 10 behind it, waiting for me. You can tell by the weird shadow)

What to do? :l
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Someguyfromhell:
Hmm, no issues on my side. Which files did you install? Did you wipe all the necessary partitions (cache, data and system)?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jona_spdr:
Since KitKat Version, android has an official Percentage battery icon:

It's the same as Gin2JellyBean icon (the blue icon), only it's white.

Your design it's good, but, if you want an "official" icon, I think it's better to change colour of previous PercentageBattery mod.

Whatever your choice, it will be good.

Your work is great.

Thank you.

Is there a solution for white status bar in some applications?? (such google Play, whasapp, etc). Other apps change the colour to black.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] n3n00:
That's exactly what we need.

And I don't think white percentage on white icon is good :S.

Edit: but seriously, with new white icons we don't have many battery styles to choose from. It's either:

1)what vokal made,

2)black letters over white icon which would be hard to read on grey background (when battery is under 50%)

3)normal battery icon with percentage separated

4)no battery percentage at all.

But I don't even care, I know basic modding and I'll make what suits myself.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vokal1992:

Is any way to get 4x4 launcher?

5x4 could be fine if you give launcher dots at bottom of the screen because they are invading icons, widgets, etc.

Could you add flashlight to QuickPanel? :)

Fix the statusbar (give one colour - black):

View attachment 2458004

This is the fastest ROM I've ever used on my neo V!

I didn't wipe it (early I was using T0X1C ROM V9) and it's very smooth! (no lags, reboots...)

I think I will stay on it till my T-Mobile contract end. :)

I've been using this ROM for a few weeks now, and really like it. A couple of bugs I've noticed are...

1. Facebook account keeps getting removed from accounts sync.

2. No option to choose ring tones from music collection.

3. Preferred program selection is wiped on reboot. After every reboot I have to reselect which browser to use, messaging app etc.

And it would be nice to have the option of Facebook Inside Xperia integration.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Someguyfromhell:
I have been using this ROM for a while and the only issue, that bothers me, is the odd bootloop that I get at random moments.

I have a Arc S and newest version of this ROM with DooMKernel v22. When I leave the phone charge overnight, then most of the times, everything is fine, but sometimes when I wake up, the phone is in bootloop - it is stuck on ROM bootanimation and keeps reloading itself, but it does not reload kernel. Only way to fix it is to disconnect the cable, remove the battery, put it back and start up the phone.

The issue also occurred with Lupus v2 kernel, so it is likely to be somewhere inside the ROM. I haven't had the chance to take any logcats yet, as it happens at random moments.
