This will disable cpu rendering and use the GPU instead. Great for Gaming and also makes everything smoother with slighly better battery life too!

How to activate Mass Storage Mod ?

Hi,

(posted this 2 days ago on RAY session....now i can post on the correct session ) ;)

Installed this ROM 2 days ago (i was using the original RB 3.1)

After 2 days of use i just can say this :

THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST AND FASTEST ROM YOU CAN GET ON ARC S

The UI is ALLWAYS smooth, can perfectly play latest 3d games, good battery life (phone was charged 2 days ago and still have 14%)

Thanks HeadFox for this great rom
[Xperia Arc Android Development] @ARC-S@:

The first boot is very long..

Nice Rom.. thx a lot man.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] @ARC-S@:
Hey I found the cause of the bootloop - XLoud

I reinstalled the ROM unticking the XLoud option, now I have sucessfully booted.

The ROM feels snappy! Very smooth UI. I will test gaming later.

Also, could you please change the background of the menus to pure black in next version or could you give me a patch please?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AsHyep:
Great ROM!!! I've got the same issue.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HeadFox:
Normally Walkman sound enhancement now work. Have you selected XLoud ?

I am already on my ROM and it works perfect.

Sent from my Xperia Tablet Z :p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] GalaxyGS:
It works now without xloud enabled.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AsHyep:
Oh, i got it. Btw, can you improve the quality of pictures taken by Camera? Their quality are far behind than these from Holo mod by Jader or Cybershot mod. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wth_is_life:
Where's xLoud located ? I can't find it in Sound settings

Oh and the screen wake is a little bit slow, even though everything else is smooth, can you tell me why ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mshipXZ:
How can I enjoy Subway Surfers with 30Fps or more???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HeadFox:
I think super fusion will be better because it development is not discontinued like fusion ;) Pls test the rom with new kernel and report
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mshipXZ:
It seems that I think Fusion 5.5 is faster for this rom but not entirely sure. In Benchmarks SFKernel scored: 6200 + in Antutu, while Fusion scored 6356. Why does Subway Surfers can't get 30+ FPS??? My Settings are: Min CPU: 249 MHz, Max CPU: 1401 MHz. ondemand, I/O: SIO. My subway surfers got 30+ FPS in stock gingerbread Lupus Kernel which is smooth. But in this rom I got 24-26 as normal FPS. In stock GB Lupus I got 30-24 FPS. I loved this rom so much good job but Subway Surfers Frame rate is a little lower.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nolfer:
I tested and superfusion works (flash, nandroid restore and everything works)

Lupus doesn't though. I flash it, restore a nandroid backup and then I am stuck at boot. It shows lupus logo, vibrates, and then a black screen with high brightness just stands there forever.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] smokerman:
fusion 5.5 its a little better than superfusion that has usb mount broken on recovery..i ve tested all JB kernels and they are similar on performance. (lupus beats all on battery life and tweaks inside kernel..for me its more complete.) but on this rom works better 3.4.67-cm10-MiUi-ANZU-v10.1..what i ve tested on video review (see 1 post).;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nolfer:
That's good but I can't seem to use lupus with this rom. Why?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Attitude.SSJ:
Which lupus are you flashing... There are 2 different ones for ics and jb...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nolfer:
Damn I'm retarded ahahah, sorry for the inconvenience. It works now. Thanks.

I'll just post the link here for lupus kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1885559
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mshipXZ:
I need more FPS for Subway Surfers. In GB I normally has 30-34 on JB I have 26-28. Please improve it so it can go higher than GB (34-38FPS) Zombie tsunami has 34 FPS on GB While on JB it has 58-60 FPS Big improvement bug Subway doesen't improve. :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] smokerman:
it depends on the game..some are more compatible with JB..:good:

from other threads i ve read that subway surfers its better on GB than ICS or JB.;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] verysoon:
i am HOMELESS!

noob here. took me some time to muster the guts to venture into custom rom.

xperia arc. fusion 5.5. After i install this rom from zip, i was stucked in xperia Z animated boot. i retraced my steps. clear / wipe cache, dalvik, data and system. but this time, install the fusion 5.5 modules first. then rom. reboot then patch. finally managed to get into phone setup.

However, it's a blank home screen with only the battery icon and the time on the notification bar. this can be drag down to show the time, date and the setting icon. but pressing this leads to "Unfortunately, Setting has stopped". i can access walkman and camera from the lock screen. so basically that's all i can do with the phone.

I am homeless. please help.

p.s. on one reboot, i shows android updating... xx of 86 apps. when this completed, it shows "starting apps." and hang there.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bagne:
it shouldn't be that hard, since this rom comes with AROMA,

did you flash the patch?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] verysoon:
thanks for the reply. i flash the patch. Following my "homeless" issue

Scenario A

1) wipe cache, dalvik, data, etc

2) install .zip rom (i only de-select tapatalk and youtube at aroma)

3) reboot

4) CWM recovery (at fusion logo)

5) patch

6) wipe cache, dalvik, data, etc again

7) reboot system

I did not install the fusion 5.5 module before the .zip rom. this will end but stuck at xperia boot animation.

Scenario B

install fusion 5.5 modules before step 2.

Omit patch.

Result :- got pass Xperia boot animation. Phone set up process... google account etc. (i skip those for now)

However there is no home screen or launcher. just blank. the notification bar can be dragged down with those toggles, time, date and the settings icon. clicking this icon leads to "Unfortunately, Setting has stopped".

wait awhile will go to lock screen. left walkman and right camara works. but basically that's it.

one more thing. the on/off button is not working in this state.. so the only way to off the phone is to take out the battery.

Questions:

a) is it a must to install Fusion 5.5 modules ?

b) i tried superfusion kernel as well. same result. (ie. no fusion 5.5 module, phone stuck at animation too.)

c) anything else i need to install?

d) even when i patch, result is the same. phone should will be functional even without patch at the moment?

e) is there a compatible issue with my selected kernel and this ROM? (only tried Fusion 5.5 and Superfusion)

Scenario C

install patch and reboot."android is upgrading... xx of 80apps"

Then "Starting apps". & the circle spins forever there.

almost an hour later, took out battery to restart. Cannot boot up now. stuck at xperia boot animation.

Pls help me to at least start the phone.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bagne:
there, step 6, you don't need to do those, after flash patch, just reboot.

doing wipe (especially data) after you flash ROM is removing your files -including system files- that you've just flash, so it is obvious that you stuck at animation logo, since there's no system files in your phone.

hope this helps.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] verysoon:
MAKES SENSE! thanks

not doing wipe AFTER each installation indeed gets me pass the xperia boot animation. Also, i boot into phone first time before rebooting and install patch.

However, the following 2 errors, which i can consistently reproduce, (i maybe doing the same wrong thing).

Scenario B

1st time booting into phone after installation of ROM.

Blank home screen. ie. no launcher.

power button not working. only way to off is to remove the battery.

Cannot access "Settings". prompt "Unfortunately, Setting has stopped".

Scenario C

Rebooting the phone after scenario B. either directly of after applying the patch

After boot animation, "Android is upgrading..." popup

loading circle spins. "Optimizing app xx of yy ( yy differs if patch installed)

loading circle spins. hang at "Starting apps". Stays this way til battery completely drained.

after this, restarting the phone will get stuck at xperia boot animation. only going to CWM to wipe cache will the above process get repeated

i need this as my secondary phone when i go overseas this weekend. so for now, i flash to Fusion 4.5 kernel and install slim bean. works fine. I'll get back to racing when i have time or someone can point out my mistakes in my procedure.

looking forward to any helpful reply.

thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bagne:
This is what i did.

Flash kernel (i use fusion or lupus)

Enter CWM

Wipe all (cache, dalvik, data, format /system)

Install zip, follow instruction.

Reboot (1st boot)

Enter CWM

Flash patch

Reboot.

If you do steps i mentioned and still got the problem like you had, maybe your downloaded file is corrupted. Try downloading them again.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] novicebg:
Useless ROM which doesn't boot at all on my Arc S. I flashed Fusion kernel, to have FM radio working.

But the ROM is stuck on bootlogo and can't boot at all! That's what I did:

1) Go in CWM recovery

4) Install .zip from Sdcard > Select the ROM

5) Follow the instructions

6) Reboot

7) After the first boot > Go in CWM recovery

8) Flash the PATCH

9) Reboot

As you can see, I just followed the installation instructions, but it can't boot anyway. I reinstalled maybe 4 times, with no success. It seems even the developer doesn't know what he has compiled, as he didn't helped to the other guy, who has reported the same bug on the top of this page. No matter whether Fusion kernel modules are installed or not, the ROM is stuck on bootlogo and doesn't move a millimetre further!

A great disappointment for Arc's owners expecting a good working ROM with FM radio working.

Please recompile your ROM or just don't claim it compatible for Arc S!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] schlager P.:
Gotta react on this nonsense although I've been using another ROM now. You really think the dev would release it if it didn't work for arc S? When I used it worked fine, so must be your fault, I think I know what's gone wrong, but I actually should you let it figure it out yourself, because your utterly nonsensical post, but we're here to help. I don't see a full wipe in step 1. Good luck, and next time THINK before you post!

Sent from the den of inequity
[Xperia Arc Android Development] novicebg:
Нelloooooooo, I've done what's prompted as needed to be done on the first page! And even as it is not described as necessary, I formatted the system. And it's not my fault that the ROM doesn't boot at all, since there are also others complaining with the same issue.

And it's not your business, but I'm here not from yesterday, I have changed dozens of ROMs from here and when there is a problem with a ROM in bootloop, it usually is not my fault.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HeadFox:
I have sold my Arc S and so I have install the ROM on the Arc S for his new owner's and it work fine.

Pls be polite if you want help and if you are not happy, don't install this ROM. I think you don't know how many times I have spend to make this rom with aroma installer. So Pls don't post useless and agressiv content. Respect xda rules or get out of xda-developers

Thank you
[Xperia Arc Android Development] novicebg:
As you made yourself the efforts to install the ROM on your exphone, it could have been better to prove us the ROM was working on Arc S it with a video or to describe the way you made it work on this phone, cause obviously not only for me the steps in the first post of this topic doesn't work.

And as for your policy to chase away everyone, complaining about your non working ROMs it's ridiculously straight-laced! As somebody is praising you, it's allowed, but when somebody shows bugs on your ROMs, that's considered as offensive to the "developer", whose ROM isn't booting normally. And why is that so? Is it not an offence to the users, to publish a non working ROM here and then to chase them away, as they pose the problem that your rom isnt actually working?!

And yes, I'm obviously not going to use your ROM, because it simply can't boot, but others should also know that before wasting time in efforts to make it run on their Arcs. I've done a lot of positive reviews on this forum for good working ROMs, last one was on the Carbon ROM, but I don't accept the censorship you try to put on users here - when something is good no problem to praise it, when it sucks - shut up or go out of here. You're funny, don't you get it? If you want to call yourself a "developer", then bring people a way to make your stuff work, don't chase them away with censorship!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] schlager P.:
Once more gotta defend headfox here, I don't know what you did or didn't do but the ROM definitely works, if it didn't don't you think many would report and a MOD would step up? Not gonna change from superjellybean (which also has radio btw) just to prove it DOES work, but I tested it some time ago and it works fine. As for headfox telling you to stop criticizing, not true, he can handle criticism, but can't help with this, I think nobody can, cause we're not sure what the prob is. Try another kernel, or redownload the ROM. For me I'm shutting up now. Schlager out!

Sent from the den of inequity
[Xperia Arc Android Development] novicebg:
I tried a few kernels, so when nothing happened and I was in a bootloop again, I posted here. I don't like to post here if I haven't tried a few solutions myself before that. But obviously I'm not the only one complaining about this problem. And yet there is still no solution. I would have been happy to report for the existence of an useful and good working ROM, but since it can't even boot after following the installation instructions carefully, I can do it, sorry!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] smokerman:
i have to ask you..did you see video review on 1 post?:rolleyes:

if you really saw it,i ve made that video on arc/s..and if you see rom is working fine..to get you some credit this rom works better on 3xx kernel this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2452819..im 100% sure that boots..do all wipes and flash that for arc/s..i think i told [MENTION=5122557]HeadFox[/MENTION] that when i make the video review..maybe he forgot to add that info on OP..but nevertheless it doesnt make him less developer for that..different users have different experiences..he did a great job on arc/s..doesnt deserve that harsh words..and as he says..if users dont like it dont install it..many cm10 roms here for sure.;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nolfer:
What is better for performance? Project Fluid or Supercharger? Is this project discontinued for the polygon kk?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] smokerman:
this is cm10..polygon is kitkat..no need for any script extra, many cm10 roms here has many tweaks to make it speedy.;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nolfer:
Sorry I meant: is this project discontinued, because HeadFox decided to address his time to polygon kk?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] schlager P.:
Perhaps this could be considered waking up sleeping dogs, but I just switched from SJB to this and works flawlessly, after first boot! Using superfusion kernel Did a wipe of cache/system/user data/ davik and installed it, simple as that
[Xperia Arc Android Development] novicebg:
The truth is that not only I cannot make his rom work on my arc, while your rom does and I am using your rom.

I don't like 3.xx kernels, until someone doesn't make fm radio work with them.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] schlager P.:
? That's strange, I too need fm, but most of the ROMS have that (UHD, SJB, this one)and most kernels too, so something's wrong with your phone. Also because you can't install this Rom.

Sent from the den of inequity
[Xperia Arc Android Development] novicebg:
My Arc doesn't have problems with other roms except this one. And I repeat, I'm not the only one not able to boot this rom.

And if most of the kernels did have working fm radio, the I would have installed a 3.xx kernel and the Carbon rom, not to be stuck on Jelly Bean and 2.6 kernels.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lRaziel1:
is this thread dead? ayy. Does anyone know if this works with a 2.6 kernel? Im not giving up FM radio.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HeadFox:
No sorry these mod are only for stock.... Use Focal when it will work for have a good picture quality.... Sony has not shared the camera lib for cm ROM :(

You can selected Xloud in AROMA installer, no after.

Look in performance settings if you have smartass V2 as gouvernor !
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wth_is_life:
Oh, I did, but does it work with Sound enhancements ? Currently not for me :P
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HeadFox:
No, i have now add this in important note before installation instructions ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ju1da:
Awesome rom! As I expected, super fast!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Serhat44:
Yes! :)

finally own thread for arc/s..

yes nice rom but on fxp kernel i have low ram and on fusion i got up to 230 ram .

EDIT: can anyone can tell which is better? i used trebuchet because it was fast but not many customize options.

and how is nova launcher? its fast or slow? please tell me :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] GalaxyGS:
Nova Launcher eats more RAM 15-25MB growing over time, better stick with Xperia Home or Trebucet.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mustufa_kheroda:
cyber shot needed

can you provide cyber shot add on for this rom ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Attitude.SSJ:
No... Cybershot doesn't work on jb roms...
