[Q] New to SE Arc, help please

Hi there.
I just bought an Arc, and i love it! But i would like to get rid of all the pre-installed apps i dont use.. I`m totally green on "jailbreaking" Android, so any links to guides would be nice=) As you can see, I had iPhone before my Arc, so i call it jailbreaking.. Can anyone explain me how to "jailbreak" my phone? sorry for my bad english, im from Norway.
Cheers!
Take a look in the Xperia Arc Android Development forum, they're a couple of threads there that'll lead you to rooting your Arc (a.k.a. the 'jailbreak' of Android).
Here's the thread regarding rooting your Arc:

Thanks CarbonX!

A Review and Resolution for this Year

Let me start the thread by a warm greetings. Happy New Year Everyone.
Its been a very great year for X8 owners. Here are some review last 2011
WHAT WE HAD
Fully Working Froyo
Fully Working Gingerbread
Unlocked Bootloader
Real Dual Touch
Overclocked
Undervolt
Custom Kernels
etc..
Not to mention also there's a lot of new potential developers came and go.
WHAT WE LOST
Racth
TeamXperia
Doixanh
Indonesian Devs
etc..
WHAT IS LEFT
TROLLS
Some promising DEV's
WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF X8
Maybe we can already foresee what will happened here if we dont start changing our bad attitude that discourages devs.
Its quite sad that we had a reverse progress rather than we go up and be stronger, we fall down because of our selfishness.
What will be your resolution for this year? Hope not to troll more.
Good luck and Have fun to those who are new and old in the Community.
I totally agree. This community became already a FLAMMING ZONE.
70% are just flamming post only 30% are just useful. At the end of the year people mess this community up.
What happened with dx? been a while since his last update on gdx, i kinda miss him
The best thing we can do is to report troll comments on the forums so that the mods and adms can delete the replys and make this place a more peaceful one, and with some luck, the devs will encourage to continue developing X8!
Goodbye
PD: Sorry for my bad english.
Hes out of the scene due to stupid and demanding peoples here.

dont start a war mike.
Lol I just answered the above question. Why do you have a better answers and explanation why DX quit?
theres also our great nAa who is still in development of our X8
FXP never leave us,,look at they github,they still update they project for x8.
maybe our "true" devs just silent,and we know 'why' they keep silent.
and look at development thread,to much rom with no dev there,just theming and change launcher people make new thread ^_^ . i'm not say DONT,but we must think; what we have done to post in "DEVELOPMENT"?
hope this year our comunnity will be better and better.
sorry for my poor english.
+1 deedii
I hope everybody is back n developing again specially CM9 for mdpi x8.
hoping in a week there's a good news about it.
but life goes on..maybe they don't have x8 anymore.. but I hope for the best.
goodluck for the new dev here.. user too.
I'm feeling so lucky being around here on early stage of development till last year.
now something weird is going on in dev sec..:? idk
and last, maybe its kinda too late..
happy new year to you all.
(sorry for my English)
Yes,
I love my X8, it is my best partner,
Even my gf envy's it,
Now when see what all is happening on the forum, really hurts,
Let encourage devs to do their best.
Forget to say ROMS threads whit no Links!
And for 2012 promisses list:
-ICS on X8!
-Trolls!
-New Devs shutting up the trolls!
-More Trolls!
-And unfortunatelly for me,a new Phone...I will miss X8 and this great comunity,although the Spammers,people here are incredible!
The X8 community isn't what it used to be anymore. Our forums are slowly decaying. At the time I signed up, there was a flame of so much interest and willingness to help others. Truthfully, I can't see that flame anymore. This place has been filled up with trolls and many useless post. I myself, was eager to learn and help others when I was able to but I'm not that active anymore. I have grown tired of this

true,am afraid soon thd community will run out of devs too,if this kinda negative atmosophere goes on,
ur rite that earlier there was willingness to help,maybe even learn and teach,but now from wat i see is only flame throwing at each other

I don't like long goodbyes but I need to tell all before I leave all of you most...

So here we go. My development is over - I'm done with it and want to tell you something about me before I leave (of course I will be here, but only sometimes and won't make any more projects). Why I need to end this all? This is a question. I told that on my DX8 thread on X10 development section - my hands have Carpal Tunnely Syndrome and I fighting with this for about few month or so. Now it's pretty nice, I'm holding myself and pain is not so bad and not hurting me everyday (only sometimes).
But what can I say about myself? It's very hard, but I will try to tell you everything I remember best:
I've started my adventure with Android after I bought Xperia X10 something like ~2 years ago. It was very nice choose and I started to learn some "noob-edits" like deleting officiall 2.1 apps (after I update it from 1.6) to make my X10 faster. Never heard about XDA yet. Then I started to write some first posts on my blog (which is old and closed already for months). I posted there my opinion about X10, my first news of Xperia family, and more. Then I get proposition from one forum to be VIP there. Now, heh, it's my forum . I worked there about Gameloft games etc. to make X10 better (won't tell where etc. cause on XDA it's not allowed - let's tell that my past is not "clean" - it's warez and hackers job yeah. Then I was asked to make some first steps on XDA, writing threads, make myself more international etc. Like you see - it was nice idea . But let's go back. After I close my blog I need to sell my first X10, but one of the best guys here, and very polite and fair friend, mohibb bought me one X10, to make my back-to-job possible. Then I back with some DiXperia for X10 users, can't remember which one. The development on XDA and my forum growed more and more, YT channel too, and my blog was already closed....And then, some time after I bought Xperia Play, and started to play with Play . Made DiXperia number first, then DiXperia 2, which is my last project in Android developping. Now, because of hands problem, I need to end this all and I think you respect my decision and you're happy to use (or used before) any of my ROM, and your device was better at least than Stock ROMs . All last threads like DX8 for X10 and DX2 for Play are complete in 10000% and I think the best fans or polite guys here will help all new persons here, with some bugs or anything else - I'm counting on you guys, cause I will be here only for free-talking about spam-features D), not for development or some new updates. And please don't ask if I will ever back - I think I won't. I have now my private life problems (girl, which I'm falling in love, arguing with me and it's all over...), school starts yesterday, I have much more things to do. But I will never forget about X10 and Play community, all best fans and haters and more. I want to thanks for Moderators and Administators for great job about XDA site and many, many more! Can't tell everything cause I will need to edit this thread thousand times to complete all I want to say!
It's not so long as I wanted to be, but it's enough. Goodbye guys, love our community, and I will be here, but not so often, and with not new projects.

I still remember well,your rom dixperia 7 was the first custom rom I used. That started my craze to flash almost every single rom available,because of dixperia 7 my love for the x10 grew.,when I almost gave up on it.
Dikej,your one of the best developers the x10 ever had,and its sad to see you end development but I understand. ,personal life and health is far much more important.
I wish you luck and healthy hands my buddy Dikej.

This is sad news dikej im going to miss you man! you were such a huge help in and around this forum! and i really hope you get everything in your personal life sorted out! ANd i wish that your hands had never become a problem! farewell dikej i wish you the best man! thank you!!
Good Luck
Damian!
I always nice to read which person lives behind 'the developer'.
Altough I never used one of your ROMs, i always read something good about them.
Even that I wasn't a DXperia-user (during DXperia 6, I was on Trips ROM), you've given me a great x10. Why, you ask?
Because you were developing at a high level, other developers were also working at high level. So therefor: every ROM became great ROM. It's because developers learned from each other and helped each other. So there was a benefit for me
Ofcourse, real life is more important. So i wish you all the best.
Thank you for getting the best out of X10!
Best whishes and good luck for you !
And another good friend leave our lovely X10 Forum!
Have fun and enjoy your life.
Thanks buddy for your hard and awesome work!
Greets Maik
good luck...hope some new devs will come and keep our x10 alive.
Thanks for your contributions
Good luck & Have fun

The Arc/S Community

Its been fun on Arc/S Community on XDA
Cheers to all Arc/S users. The Sexiest Device we ever had. Sleek Design, Handy and Handful device for a Mid Range its pretty Cool.
Upon using the Phone for few months I am still love this other mid range phone out there.
Checking every 5 hrs on XDA and spending many time reading the Arc/s thread. I did developed a ROM though I discontinued it coz of some Annoying dev's out there who don't want any competition about the roms. I mean the site was intended for us to Share and Experiment with our handset. The only thing worked out is my Swap Thread and I really have good time with it and a company notice me then proposed to Buy my developing Swapler app and I give thanks all to XDA forum. I truly appreciate the Motive of setting this forum up and the Moderators on Arc/S are very nice to the users.
Before I leave the Arc/S community I will just make Roms for my Fellow Filipino mates with Chaos. I was still wanting to develop good roms here. I was planing to Tandem with Chaos to make such good roms for Arc/s. But I guess some troll will be Intimidating our Release and again Fire will spark over and over again so I got sick of these (Kid/Infant Attitude) as I guess Iridaki will Agree with me.
I will post my Creations on Android Section from this point. I will make with add Swapler and realease for free but its still on Approval.
Its been fun. I hope moderators will automatically delete Irrelevant topic of Troll here. Hammer theme with Chuck Norris :victory:
Its just when Free sharing become business donation to others.

Even though I don't know much about your work or your support for the Arc / Arc S, it's sad to see guys leaving thanks to a bunch of morons that's envy on other guys quality work. Yes, your SWAP application is joy and quality (at the same time) that has saved me a lot of times when struggling to make ICS worth my time, and to avoid making this too fanboyish - I wish u all luck with whatever you now are going to do!
Thanks for your support, Patambiz! And a lot of greetings (hopefully) from the Arc community.
