How do I root this ROM? I had root previously using the zerg rush exploit, but now i've lost it due to the ICS upgrade.
Thanks for any help.

I use Siyah kernel & Odin.
Used this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
Worked fine.
I can nuke all the nasty orange apps now.
I got an update but took me to 2.6 :/
Have been waiting for the update and it finally arrived today.
What can I say- hugely disappointed:
1 very slow browsing and YouTube
2 don't see many changes in the interface
3 scrolling is laggy
4 voice search hardly ever works
Could go on and on... It was supposed to be an improvement and not other way round.
Is there any way to make it more like ICS. I mean ICS launcher instead of TouchWiz, roboto font etc...

Connect your phone to Kies on your computer and it should automatically prompt you to upgrade. If that doesn't happen I would suggest you update the Kies software and manually check for any updates for your phone while your SGS II is connected. If it still doesn't work contact Orange.

Hi mate ive contacted to them and they said Because i have the i9100P i wont be able to get the update to 26th or something.Other users with i9100 will recieve the 4.03 update
I wouldn't get too upset about it, as I said earlier there isn't much to look forward to, wasn't for me at least
So what's that P stand for. Is it any different?

Hi
its the i9100
TBH i am finding ICS to be quite good so far, does seem snappier on menu's
As has been said no big difference really to the GB 2.3.5 but so far no issues.
(i did lose all my Home screens during the upgrade)
I am not a "power user" just used for general light browsing taking Pics etc.
But so far no show stoppers.
(i was offered the update to GB 2.3.6 last week but didn't have time. When i went to do it today i was only offered the ICS Update. Kies did not update in the meanwhile)

I called Samsung asking about the screen glass and touchwiz update. They didn't know A) if the 10.1 is Gorilla Glass and B) said generically the touchwiz update would be available sometime this month. Grrrrr.....

I dont understand. TouchWiz is not being released today. All that is happening is Samsung is throwing a celebration now that its complete.
This is what I find: ..."will begin rolling out over the air to all Galaxy Tab 10.1 owners beginning Friday, August 5."...

There was a thread dedicated when the tablet came out arguing if it has gorilla glass. In the end people determine that it does not. But if you go to corning website http://www.corning.com/index.aspx, they recently added galaxy tab 10.1 to the list on having it

I don't have enough posts to post the article but to summarize:
Hankil Yoon, vice president of Smartphone Product Planning, Samsung Electronics, said “GALAXY Tab 10.1 is recognized for its high-end technology and amazing design, even among industry experts. For the GALAXY Tab 10.1, Samsung Electronics searched for the most durable, scratch-resistant glass, and again found the perfect solution with Corning Gorilla Glass.”
That came from an article on Corning's website.
So what are the odds... Who thinks this is going to be a new build or the same one that was mistakenly OTA'd?
The Anadtech guys are already on it.

Even more interesting on the Gorilla Glass is this page on Samsung's site:
http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa/jsp/faqs/faqs_view_us.jsp?SITE_ID=22&PG_ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=2076&PROD_ID=0&AT_ID=373666
Where you will see this:
Corning (Gorilla) Glass: No
I know. So confusing. I have the invisible shield installed but the media dock peels away the bottom corners. Also it does not refract the glare as much and does seem to cause my finger to skip some or not make as great contact on some gestures. So been thinking of peeling it away if the G-Glass is there. Its always in the leather pouch when not in use. So I feel good it'll be OK for the most part.
Once I see a review of the Bluetooth keyboard notebook case, I may go that route for obvious reasons. You can eject easily from the case for handheld use, as well as close case for easy portability.

Corning is always making false publicity about their products. If you look on their site, you'll see that they mention gorilla glass being used in htc wildfire, htc desire, and even the old htc hero. That's ridiculous. I don't even understand why nobody sued them for false publicity.
Just to pass the time, what do you imagine the event is for? Personally, I hope it's to officially announce the Vigor.
AndroidGuys said:
HTC is planning to hold an event in New York next week on September 20th according to invites hitting press inboxes. The description of the event is "Come celebrate with us," and it indicates that it's possible that some new device is coming from HTC's side. Recently we learned about a lot of leaked HTC phones so let's take a look at some of the possibilities.

But HTC did just hold a WP7 only event not to long ago (this month I think?), so I would assume this is not WP7 related. I too hope it's the Vigor. If it's not, guess the Nexus/DROID Prime will be my next device.

I'm planning getting the Nexus Prime provided it comes out on Verizon as a Google Experience device. If it doesn't, then it can still be rooted and will have CM8 ICS goodness soon after release.
This is when HTC Will announce updates for htc desire hd and others to sense 3.0 etc...maybe new phones
I bet this is when they'll announce their new flagship phone, the "runnymede", and likely the bliss as well. If the vigor is coming out early next month, I wouldn't be surprised to see it announced at that event too. They also have the ruby (T-Mo) and holiday (AT&T) coming out, maybe we'll hear more about them on the 20th.
ICS and (not so) specifically how it will rival and surpass the then soon to be released Iphone 5. Dual announcement to include Vigor release as well.
Ugh...lame. All they gave us was the official announcement for the Rhyme (Bliss) and talking up Sense 3.5. No other phones announced.
Way lame. Not even slightly interesting.
Isn't there going to be another event October 6th where apparently the Vigor and all those other rumored phones might be announced?

Thanks but this means no WVGA right? Sounds like my dream phone if this is true.
According to the guy on sony blog 4.0.4 will be released too. Apparently they only pushed out 4.0.3 to make sure they are not late to the promised time frame. Heres the quote from his post.
We’re looking at all our user feedback and will continue to refine our software updates.
Our first update is Android 4.0.3 – Google released 4.0.4 when our release for Xperia arc S, neo V and ray was in final testing. As the difference to 4.0.3 is small, we released on 4.0.3 to deliver against our promised timings and to ensure we quality secured 4.0.4 – it will come in a further upgrade.
I hope they will release 4.0.4 for other 2011 xperia phones including arc and hope most bugs will be fixed in the next release
Good news as 4.04. has a few performance benefits
Stability improvements
Better camera performance
Smoother screen rotation
Improved phone number recognition

Still waiting to get my arc to ICS till further upgrade arrives.
End May eaely June for Arc
Be patient or flash the Arc S' update
Sent from my iPad 2 using Tapatalk
I am waiting for arc update too but should be soon. Its now may so they will probably start releasing it from next week r end of this week im hoping.
It's a shame they pandered to the pathetic "want it now" cry babies and released 4.03. They should have released that as a RC and delayed the final 4.0.4
I don't have too many problems to be honest, the main issue for me in ICS on the Arc S is the huge delay loading phone and contacts. Sometimes upto 5 seconds showing a blank screen before the contacts and dialer appear.
I'm guessing this is the SQLLite DB performance problems that Sony were talking about...
where are you guys seeing this? and when do you think it'll be out ?
link?
Anyone that knows when this update will be rolled-out on the Nordic market, Sweden?

Isn't it possible to install other applications for the dialer and the contacts from the market?
Great to know we're not going to be abandoned and more releases are coming. I guess this won't happen soon though as they're still rolling out 4.0.3.

It will be nice if Sony surprised us by releasing the 4.0.4 by the end of May. That will be fantastic.

lets hope for 4.0.4
Let's hope for a new kernel too...
Info suggesting no 2011 Xperias would get Jelly Bean was given "in error."
In a statement on its official product blog, Sony has reassured Xperia smartphone owners that it's still in the process of investigating which of its devices will receive updates to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The statement follows earlier reports, originating from one the company's own Facebook pages that 2011 Xperia handsets like the Xperia Arc and Xperia Mini Pro would not be getting updated.
The manufacturer said --
"During a Q&A session last week on our Sony Mobile GB Facebook page, a local spokesperson gave information out in error on our Android 4.1 Jelly Bean software development and rollout for 2011 Xperia smartphones.
"We are actively investigating Android OS upgrades for all devices, but in the meantime, our Ice Cream Sandwich rollout for Xperia S and 2011 Xperia smartphones continues as planned."

yup...as i had already said that a meeting would take place to decide which all devices will get JB 4.1

I think that too ,JB is not a major update just a few performance tweaks here and there.
Maybe its just a marketing strategy to make people buy Sony phones and then in the end moment they'll disregard the 2011 devices.

Sony(Ericsson) Did not disregard their customers from updates, Sony is one of manufacturers who's really into updating their Portfolio to the latest Android versions, look at their Update History compared to any manufacturers
2010
X8/X10mini: 1.6 > 2.1.1
X10: 1.6 > 2.1.1 > 2.3.2
2011
Xperia/Live: 2.3.2 > 2.3.3 > 2.3.4 > 4.0.3 > 4.0.4 > 4.1(?)
2012
Xperia: 2.3.7 > 4.0.4 > 4.1(?)
Right now, 2011 Xperia is one of the most updated Android Phones out there, and I believe they can be updated to 4.1
Awsome PR!!

Well that's just greats news... in the worst case scenario the arc s would be the only one getting JB. And then some developers could port it

Obviously it would be Sure Ported to other 2011 Devices like Arc (not Need To Port. Direct Flash). Neo & Neo V.; Ray; etc. etc ..

My nexus S got 2x faster and smoother with jelly bean. My mums arc S on ICS is faster than nexus S on ICS but not the nexus S on JB. That tells you how significant a thing jelly bean is it is designed to make every phone smoother not just the high end ones. If nexus S with 512MB ram can run it so well then the arc S surely deserves it. it will become a beast with jelly bean.
Let's hope Sony don't make a mess of it. Official ICS hardly fills me with confidence!

Well this is certainly a relief ...& i was getting all gloomy & sad because i bought my ARC S 1 month ago.....lets just hope they come up with a 2011 model 4.1 JB update able list soon....I always like Sony Stock ROM ...so eagerly waiting & keeping my fingers crossed....:fingers-crossed:
i think form 2011 line ony HDPI phones will get JB , or MDPI phones will get update later
i said this before that facebook statement didn´t seem like an official statement to me and now we can see the real thing

Sorry for being a noob, but what is hdpi and mdpi?
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
hdpi is 480x854, so it means Arc/S, Neo/V, Play, Ray or Pro
mdpi is 320x480 so Active, Live, Mini/Pro
Press Thanks if I helped.

This all but seals the deal for me wanting this to ship with KitKat. KitKat gives us hope of rooting and staying on 4.4 until something is figured out with 5 while having an awesome device.
Ya I agree. I don't think we would be missing much without 5.0 anyways. Really the only great thing I've heard about it is that's it's capable of 64 bit but we don't have 64bit CPU's so what's the point. However, if it is 4.4 we might get root but doubt any unlocking. A Verizon branded Moto is not very promising IMO.
ill take 5.0 all day long
I'm praying for 4.4. I'd love to have Xposed on there as well as changing the dpi settings, because I hate the stock dpi. It's always too big. If it ships with 5.0 I'll be disappointed. Probably will still get it though.
Yeah, I'll take 5.0
Anyone saying they want 5.0 in this thread didn't read that article lol
It will most definitely ship with 4.4.4 according to all the leaks and the images....

I have heard rumors of a 64 bit memory interface. The actual CPU won't be 64bit but if there's parts that are 64bit we may see benefits. I think the Nexus 6 is rumored to have the the interface as well.

Nope, read the article and all the same, would take 5.0...Moto phones are damn near stock Android..just with the Moto goodies...I went from crack flashing ROMs on my GS3 to never flashing a single ROM on my Droid Maxx because the OS just works right the way it is...
I have no doubt that root will come to 5.0 in time...

yes no root on android5 is a big question. but i think it isn't too far to wait for rooting android5 devices because android is open. i'm not sure that my opinion is right or not but i think someone will work hard on it.

I read it, and I would miss root for some things that just work better with access (Greenify), but I have been running a few days without root to see how it affects me and the conclusion is barely at all.
The only think I am going to miss is being able to tell Tasker to clear all recent apps. but I only have to do that because my Razr M has 1GB of ram and usually only has 80mb free. Turbo shouldn't be a problem in that regard
I think rooted or not aside, the main reason I would root is for Xposed, which doesn't currently work on ART. It (probably) will someday, but doesn't currently.

Here's a question: since it is shipping with KitKat and we don't yet have a way to root 4.4.4, is there a way to block the OTA to L for those that want to hold off? I use to block it on my other Droids, but that required root.

In the short term you will probably have to decline the update. It usually pops up asking you to accept the OTA every few hours, though.

I normally had an option to choose when it reminded me next. So if it reminded me today at 5pm, I'd tell it to remind me at 4pm. So it would go 23 hours without reminding me.
