You must have deleted the Sony folder which suppose to be in sdcard, inside that there are several folders with color names.Just copy the sdcard/Sony folder to your sdcard & place it on the root (the Sony folder)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] ronak383:
after using this rom heres what i can say :fingers-crossed:

apps open up at balzing fast speed :cool::good:

theme changer is awesome :D!!

walkman n album work flawlessly after using the fix :cool:

but whenever i make a call or receive any call a message pops up saying "the process system has stopped" and sometimes even the phone reboots :crying:

and sometimes even apps exit by themselves :/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Thank you for the Answer, but can someone upload the Sony folder so i can copy it to my SD Card? I can't seem to find it anywhere in my SD..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nk1001:
this folder can be found inside Installation zip

Iridescent_Zed_One.zip\sdcard\Sony
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thelast3lack:
nice rom, smooth enough for ics

but two things I want to see changed in next versions:

1- change quick settings backend. It doesn't go to corrosponding setting page when you hold over a setting.

2- use z1 launcher. It's very smooth and nice.

overall: very good rom, thanQ bro!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Another question, since there isn't a Q&A section in the Thread:

Which is the best way/application so I can use my Carrier's Data with my laptop-ipad (WiFi Tethering)? Does the Rom support that without the need of any app? And if so where can I find the setting? If I need to download an app, can you suggest one?

Thank you.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Saqib Nazm:
I don't know about any app, you can just use wifi hotspot to share your data connection with your laptop, it is on Settings>More
[Xperia Arc Android Development] flashrommad:
Great rom congratulations :good:

For those that may be having battery drain problems, I have found that disabling Bravia 2 engine has solved this on my arc s.

Seasons greetings to all
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Babis_ECE:
After copying "Sony" folder in SD Card, Themes work just fine now. :good:

I will also try USB Hotspot included in Rom.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Saqib Nazm:
What is the problem you are facing? Don't mind but why would you use go launcher? It makes phones alot slower than usual

You can try vengeance too
[Xperia Arc Android Development] esarve:
No just love the new effects :P Bt i tried to change the framework with BDfreaks Z1 framework, than it works great :) I think its the framework causing this.

any way awesome rom and superfast
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ak.kiran:
Loved the rom it is smooth and fast.

but i would like to see a lil more responsive and a stripped down version of this rom that is focused on just performance.

When I enable Bluetooth then phones rebooting but not boot at all. After clean dalvik catch phone behavior ok.

Again enable Bluetooth then same thing as described.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Known issue in ics roms. Just get bluetooth.apk from stock and replace it in system>app and set rw-r-r and reboot. Done

Cheers,

[Xperia Arc Android Development] esarve:
my BT is working gr8. which kernel you are using?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Babis_ECE:
No problem with Bluetooth here, using Lupus Kernel. Maybe reflash your Rom?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Saqib Nazm:
We are preparing an update. Will let you know guys about the changelog in a day or two. I will also make an odexed version too this time. So who care for more performance can flash that :good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kepta Duona:
Good news! I really love this ROM, but Settings.apk laggy (Scroll lagging). Is this OK?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rod555:
thanks a lot Saqib! You made the best rom for Arc devices :good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bxfdaxia:
when will the update come？:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pedyvirus:
i have a request for the new version

can you use the old version of armora installer in this rom (the one that is used in xperianze v2 and anzumi white and ...P)

because the new version wont work on play and i have to remove support of armora in play port
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Saqib Nazm:
Update is 90% ready, I will let you all know at night about the changelog

Too late to request, everything is wrapped up, though I have a doubt I could keep your request cause with older aroma, touch doesn't work on some devices. But on this new aroma touch always work. & why would you have to remove aroma support for that? you can base it on the previous version of aroma installer if you have problem with the latest
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bxfdaxia:
:victory::victory:good news！Does that mean we can meet the update few days？
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pedyvirus:

Make Fresh Install with Full Wipe, for Better Performance use Odex from Aroma

If you choose Odex option in Aroma, then after applying a Theme Accent, after reboot, go to system/framework with file explorer & delete SemcGenericUxpRes.odex. Need to do just once
[Xperia Arc Android Development] weaponXandroid:
Damn, I just downloaded and installed Zed One like half hour ago. Now will just enjoy the speed and beauty of Zed One until Zed ll finishes downloading :cool: 36 mins left. :fingers-crossed:

Anyone tried installing with 'Odex ROM' option ticked? I don't know if it takes a really long time but I am stuck on a blank/black screen after the installation. There's no bootanimation at all, just black.

It doesn't boot even when I don't select anything under additional. I wonder what is causing this.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] leitlang:
Ditto! Admittedly, I paired that with tesing whether I could get away without wiping system or data.. Stuck at the Sony screen with my mom's phone (locked BL). Any advice?

Edit: Just started all over again using pc companion, rerooted, and reflashing
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nk1001:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] rod555:

Arc S device
[Xperia Arc Android Development] leitlang:
It seemed to work great for the short time I had it so far (it's not mine), but no, I didn't try it with odexed again - primarily because of your post above. I thought I'd err on the safe side and do both the appropriate wipes and the deodexed version. How long've you been using this one though? How do find it compared to stock?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] WaterMelon90:
Hey, I tried odexed and work perfecrt in neo v!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] android-turk:

Come back and report here if it works :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] masteriori:
I have an Unlocked Bootloader and doesn't install properly at all. Even when I don't select anything in the additional features, it still doesn't boot on my Xperia Ray. It's probably device related.

I am able to install other roms without any problems.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] weaponXandroid:
Hi,

Last night I flashed with odex option selected on my Arc S. and it went successful.

Running smooth till now.

I am on Vengeance Kernel.

Wiped Data, Cache.

Wipe Dalvik cache, Wipe Battery Stats,

Format System, Data, Cache.

Install Rom.

Flashed WiFi modules.

And done.

Hope that helps.

And no apps installed except Titanium Backup pro and Greenify, and getting 94MB free RAM. not more :(

But still running smooth. :good:

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nk1001:
im on Vengeance and Odexed too but i got ~120 free RAM with running fb app and gmaill :eek:

the call screen looks different on v2 , no more color line when turning speaker
[Xperia Arc Android Development] smokerman:
FB app,whatsapp and others like that are ram and battery drainers..once in a while use reboot and wipe cache and dalvik cache..and must use greenify app on this rom and any rom..i always recommend it..with FB app,FB messenger i have almost 160 mb free all time..it reduces a bit if those apps are running..but rom still is smooth and fast..:good:

i use 1.2 version deodexed..i dont like odexed roms..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] weaponXandroid:
Yes I am running greenify. I usually download it for every new rom I install in all my xperias; ion, arc s, play etc

And I used that Xbooster-Free app to quick boost and saw 94MB available but In settings > Running apps, it shows 163 MB free (Titanium Backup Pro, Greenify, Opera Mini, Mx Player pro, Dolphin mini installed and greenified).

It does not affect the rom's smoothness though.

Thanks :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Saqib Nazm:
No device problem, as I already benn reported by Ray user that this rom is working, even one user reported a bug with root explorer

Any Locked Bootloader user use the odex fix & let us know please, otherwise we can't solve the problem with locked bootloader.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] masteriori:
السلام عليكم

Brother, I have tried again and its working now. :good:

Could you please link me to Odex script that you used for this ROM? Also, can I installed this rom as normal and later apply the Odex script? I prefer Z1 apps and launcher.

Download music info one by one, that's the only way download music info working in our ics unlocked bl

after you said, I too am facing this, the problem wasn't there in the first release, so that is a problem related to odexing I reckon. No solution I can give for now with odex

Ohh that's sad man :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] masteriori:
[MENTION=4879131]saqib nazm[/MENTION]

Could you please make a patch to make the ROM Z1 themed? I absolutely love the odex feature of this rom but prefer the Z1 theme and framework. Unless you want to bring this odex feature to your other Z1 themed rom? Besides, there are some theme issues with this rom i.e. on/off buttons for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are broken.

BTW, selecting the Pure X Sound mod causes bootloop. Please check.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pedyvirus:
i didnt have that issues :eek:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rod555:
no issues here,

on arc s unlocked
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Saqib Nazm:
I will never make a Z1 themed patch, I will to keep original purpose for what my roms stand for :)

anyways just use En_US language & you won't have any problem with switches. There are no other Theme issues

Everything works great after installing the FIX.zip

Sony Arc S

Looked Bootloader
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Dr.SAM88:
ARC S Lupusv16

I'm having trouble with USB host, i've activated in in terminal in lupus menu but only mouse and keyboard work, usb drives dont.

I've downloaded OTG helper but despite it reacts to micro usb connection it still can't find the flash drive...

Anybody else having this issue?

Advices? in the Modules folder all the usb otg modules are present, including ntfs support.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Dr.SAM88:
By the way:

Android Tweaker 2 Works really well with this rom and lupusv16.

Just leave the video and image enhancing tweaks, like bravia v3 which are the most likely to cause bootloop.

System, battery, network tweaks....along with zipalign and database defragmentation makes my arc s fly.

Is the Busybox version on this rom updated and fully functional? cause i had to reistall it in xbin to make android tweaker work.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] smileymatt:
uhm, why does my phone not show the background color of the theme?

using arc s. anybody knows how to fix it?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] smokerman:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] pedyvirus:
its usual issue on this rom and its not caused by odexed version ( as i read some where its caused by incomplete port of other xperia devices phone dialer)

i didnt test it myself because my xperia play broke before testing it :(

but i found that i can still use my play with gamepads:p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Saqib Nazm:
I don't have much knowledge with otg, but I reckon it's related to kernel, you can try other kernel

Yes I know, but it doesn't harm anything, it's related with the phonebook package

ARC S Lupus v16 has OTG enabled in lupus menu in terminal.

Code:

lupus

It also supports NTFS.

Mouse and keyboard work right away but OTG flash drives do not appear in settings>memory noe in any file explorer like they used to in UHD and jellybean.

Only one app allowed me to acces my usb key, it's an ugly UI app but it works well with lupus v16:

This one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anda.otgdisk&hl=it

Check it out and see if you can integrate it in file explorer like ES file explorer.

[MENTION=4879131]saqib nazm[/MENTION] you could just hide your screenshots for previous versions and keep only newer screenshots:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ela703:
Thanks saqib nazm for the terrific ROM. This is by far the best feature rich ICS ROM i have ever used. In-spite of having a beautiful, rich framework, responsiveness was never compromised. Even after using for a week, it is still as fast as it was after a fresh install!

Few improvements that can be brought in:

1. On clicking Mobile Data toggle, it pops up a message "Allow data traffic? Additional...". In most ROMs, this message was suppressed. In future updates, you can look at removing this message. If not, someone can guide me to do it myself.

2. Every time when i uninstall an app, it gives a FC message, though the app gets uninstalled successfully. This has been reported and confirmed that its not a big issue. But, is this issue unsolvable?

3. If I change the theme using Xperia Theme, everything works fine except for the wallpaper/background which comes as blank dark background. Though its not a big deal, as i can change the wallpaper, I just thought of reporting it.

Thanks again for the wonderful ROM!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AsHyep:
Smoothest ICS Rom Ever!!!

Thanks for your awesome ROM. I have tried so many diffirent ICS Rom for ArcS. However, this is the best one with excellent smoothness and Ram management! I feel like I'm using a GB based Rom with much more beautiful user interface. Waiting for the next big commings. :good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Aciong.Aksaya:
Anyone got no AM/PM mod for status bar for this ROM? Kindly share or even APKtool that will work on ICS. I tried TickleMyAndroid but decompile error. Thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Saqib Nazm:
that's may be because you are using odex, try deleting SystemUI.odex 1st then replace with correct permission or flash that systemUI

Hey man, I saw your blog it's awesome :D

anyways I want those screenshots to be seen as they show the theme accent color versatility perfectly ;)

Hmm, I will try to minimize those.

Thanks for awesome feedback :)

You can use apkt multi tool/vts if you feel you won't use apktool :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alinolaw71:
nice worke bro.wont update?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] nasirum:
I'm gr8 fan of this ROM. It's the best then any other ICS ROM.

But I'm facing a strange problem that the ROM eat too much battery of little use. No WiFi, little 3g net use, avg 20min of talking thats all & eat 80-90% battery within 12hrs. In sleep mode takes 10%/hrs.

I think nobody faces these kind of problem like me with lupus kernel.

Somebody help me to staying with this ROM.

Sorry for bad english.

After a few days use I like the roms smoothness, though it could be lighter...

Few bugs and inconveniencis I found:

Wifi, bluetooh and all toggles arent round. Funny wierd shape, big turn off

Keyboard takes forever to open (latest keyboard)

Accent changer is good like the red <3

I think xperia z1 launcher is better as uses less ram and Is a lot smoother!

Overall smoothness is good on odexed but not great.

I like this rom, so im gonna stick with it for a while. Just so u are all aware I dont use any of the lockscreens it aroma, or the small apps so it should be quite good.

Thanks to squib for this great rom, good work! I hope you u will take into mind what I said.
