Arc Android dev

Can it be rooted?

There are yet no methods for 2.3 rooting because the only device with 2.3 on the market right now is Nexus S which can be "rooted" using oem unlock command.

I am sure it will be in due time

I just recieved my Arc, tried zRoot and SuperOneclick, nothing able to root it.
Tested speed, Q total: 1663, CPU over 2000. This is great, flash works great, HD PLAYER is excellent, demo HD video play so smoothly on both phone and DEMO TV.
So far, I don't see need of root.
Cheers

SE 2.3 official rom photo leaked

its leaked from a website in mainland china
i cant tell if its true or not
http://www.eprice.com.cn/mobile/talk/3458/4474609/
according to the source
camera ui is the same as 2.1
not as smooth as arc
neocore not exceeding 30fps
He predicts that this rom will be released soon as there re not many bugs

(Translater mode ON, hopefully my Chinese is still good enough to translate =D)
X10's 2.3.3 software will be released shortly, it is currently being tested.
The firmware is from Arc and Neo, and there are not many bugs, which would mean they could soon release the update.
There are something that we observed:
1. The camera interface is the same as we see on our X10s (referring to the 2.1 update)
2. The user experience is not as smooth as the Arc, which (hopefully) SE would enhance the smoothness of the firmware.
3. The 3D performance is not as good, the FPS is does not go over 30 in Neocore (30fps limit in our kernal)
PS:
1. Forgot to test how many touches are detected.
2. There is not enough time for writer to test, we need to test (play with it) for a while.
3 and 4 are irrelevant to what we are worrying about
5. The writer does not know how to extract the rom, and therefore would not be providing it.

Seems legit to me. I just find unusual that GB is running on 2.6.29 linux kernel instead of 2.6.32!

I think this is not a fake

I'm sure that after US gets the update XDA Developers will fix it up for us in no time lol

Why, just why would they not update the kernel?

Unlock your bootloader and flash an ICS rom. Better than having the standard crap Sony Ericsson skin ruining the phone.
As an added bonus, all the best games i.e SNES emulators, work
Getting the Play for Android games is a waste of a gamepad........

Ics on r800 doesnt support bt headphones :c
Wysyłane z mojego R800i za pomocą Tapatalk 2

there are rumors the play won't get ics due to some memory issue
no mentions at sony though lets be optimistic

Sony: It's gonna be on Late Feb / Early Apr. Lol nope.
Sony: It will surely be on Late Apr / Early May. Lol wait more.
Sony: It's officially on Late May / Early June. Lol, don't remember that.
Hope Sony won't push the update until the end of 2012.

Hopefully all the games we love are compatible wth that updte.. Bt thts unlikely to hppen..

i thought about this, iwas looking through some roms and i said to my self " should i install a ICS Rom or wait for official update from sony"
when i unlock my bootloader and flash the rom if i want to revert all i have to do is flash custom rom and relock bootloader?

Yeah. Trust me though, the best ICS rom to flash for the Play is AOKP
Now it has theme support so its possibly the best ICS rom in terms of customization

Gameloft games don't work

I know when the ICS is out!
Its the 32nd of May.
/sarcasm/
Please stop with these threads already, these and the "what's the best rom" as well as the "Xperia play 2 patent submitted" type of threads are a waste of time IMHO, when there's one of them, fine, but you don't need ten threads for one announcement.

Agreed. No reason for someone to make another thread to the same topic, if need be just use whatever thread is current. OTherwise just wasting space on the forums and it makes it less likely that someone with a real question or thread is not going to be seen unless someone diggs through all the posts.

Xperia S is not on the list either... This is obviously the list of phones that are receiving updates in the current roll out.

Xperia Arc & Neo ICS Updates released today

Just found this and wanted to share.
Arc & Neo ICS updates out today.
http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/05/2...eo-android-4-0-ics-updates-start-rolling-out/
On a side note I thought I read somewhere that the Arc is a common ROM to be ported to Xperia PLAY.....this true?
Anyway just sharing.

Yes, it is true.
Sent from my R800x using XDA

Wohoo, this sounds promising, it sounds like my first try to port a ROM ever here, since I really want a ICS-ROM for Xperia Play, but only if the android version is 4.0.4 then, otherwise, it will not get better And after that I will try to get everything to work as well

it seems that the latest Xperia Pro ICS firmware has been leaked!

The sony devs better pray that it runs like crap on our phones because I cant imagine them looking worse than they do right now

If devs port this rom to the Play, get TouchPads working with all the touchpad games and I'll retract every ICS is bad for the Play comment I've made recently

Which is.... pretty much impossible. The dev's need to update the games.

If it wasn't for the custom roms, I would feel like crap for buying this phone (Xperia Play). At least, there are some decent roms out there.
Anyway, it is a shame that Sony hasn't released, at least, the sources, or have they?

ICS is great for us who pretty much just use the pad for emulators. Emulators work fine in ICS, and you get all the niceties (sadly the rotation animation is way up there on my list).
I could care less if Sony released an update or not, I'm still able to get a damn fine ICS experience with the aokp rom.

Fixed.
CDMA users definitely need something.

[Tip] for better gaming performance (it's totally work)

First of all you need to have all thease stuffs:
1. unlocked bootloader
2. Rooted
First, flash the lastiest cm7 rom and kernel (not cm9)
Then, install chainfire3d and it plugin.
Go to settings - cm setting - performance - CPU setting - available governors - set it to ondemand, go to min cpu frequency - set it to 122, Max to 1401 - check set on boot
Open chainfire3d - go to default opengl settings - check reduce texture quality, - go to use plugins - set it to nvidia. Done!
Enjoy your massive improvement of gaming performance on xperia arc/arc S
Tested games:
-asphalt 6
-riptied gp
-Shadow gun
-cs protable
Edited: if you want a little bit faster overclock to 1.6 ghz
Don't for get to hit thank if i help you!

Why are you on xda developers?
Things like overclocking and modding are the whole point of this site.
While you might not want to unlock your bootloader and other things which "might" brick your phone, it is also unlikely you will if you follow the developers guides properly.
This guide here has nothing unusual that people aren't doing to their phones already.

first of all i think you are right, but your first sentence was really unnecessary, he is just giving us his opinion.

I've tried this on my old device (SGT-5570)
It's become faster, no lag. But we'll sacrifice the graphic quality

chainfire3d
from where can I install it ????
is it a programme in the market or what

From market

Simple, for nvidia games.

Thanks! just downloading cm7 now

Ok! So we install nvidia for nvidia game? I though that it was based on the phone chipset and installed qualcomm. By the way, how do u know its working? I can't make out the difference after installing chainfire!
P.S. mine runs on stock froyo!
So is it even working?
