It’s been far too long since our last official release, but I’m happy to present CyanogenMod-7.1! I apologize for the long delay, and I hope to speed up our release process in the future. We originally planned to release this last weekend at the Big Android BBQ but some issues with our automated build system held it back.
You’ll find many new features (read the CHANGELOG) and support for building on 68 devices! Upgrading from any previous CM-7 release or nightly build should be smooth and no wipe should be required.
New devices since 7.0 included in today’s release are:
HTC Desire S
HTC Incredible S
HTC Incredible 2
LG Optimus 2X and T-Mobile G2x
Motorola Backflip (Motus)
Motorola Cliq / Cliq XT
Motorola Defy
Motorola Droid 2
Motorola Droid X
Samsung Captivate
Samsung Fascinate
Samsung Mesmerize
Samsung Showcase
Samsung Vibrant
Samsung Galaxy S
Samsung Galaxy S2 (multiple carriers)
Sony Ericsson Xperia X8
Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini
Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro
Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo
Sony Ericsson Xperia Play
Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
ZTE V9
There are many devices still in beta status (Pyramid, Doubleshot, Shooter, HP Touchpad, Optimus 3D, several more) that we will be promoting to release or release-candidates in the next few weeks when the code is merged to our main branch.
The preferred method of installation is via ROM Manager, but you can directly download the latest release from our mirror network. Head over to our forums to discuss the release or get help. Installation instructions and other information can be found on our wiki.
As we continue to grow and improve CM, we are starting to see support from the industry grow- something that was unheard of previously. Recently, Sony Ericsson assisted our developers by providing over 20 devices, technical assistance, and compatible hardware drivers. CM-7.1 now has support for all recent SEMC devices thanks to this effort. Various other vendors have reached out to us, but we understand that it is still somewhat of a difficult situation. We will soon be providing a porting guide and some information on how vendors can get involved with the project and how/why it will benefit them.
Thanks again for the support, and for making CyanogenMod the #1 community Android distribution. We’ll be following up with a few minor releases and soon it will be time to start work on CM9!

Yup....this is the official guide to install cyanogenmod for arc...i will install it today and see what happen....is this a 2.3.4 or 2.3.3 version....can it do a overclocking...?
I think it said 2.3.7 ...

I didn't unlock my bootloader since my purchase a few months ago, so I am behind times. I am kind of concerned about the whole warranty issue... If you guys give me good performance and feature feedback, I might just get on the CM7 bandwagon...
Why in the phone list
Code:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version#Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Arc
there is no Xperia Arc? And they say Arc fully supported?
Which to download there then?
a guide with no rom. Yes thats so helpful.

Edit:
I just installed this ROM, camera is working.
There... i updated my theme to "XDA 2010" just to be able to thank you!
Anyway... will only go CM7 when I get bored of the stock but doomkerneled UI.
Tempting, very tempting.
The two things i'd really miss from the stock ROM are SE's home launcher (i know, i'm weird) and the panorama camera app. Anyone know how likely these are to work on top of CM?
SE Home Launcher is working on CM7, you can find modified versions on xda, I don't know about camera but I doubt it's working.
I installed this rom and did flash a clean 368 before. I am unable to add an APN for att and cannot use mobile data. It looks like I am not the only one. I have a LT15a, generic global was flashed though so it looks like a LT15i.

u can always revert back to stock.
Try to flash older version or a 2.3.4 stock ROM with DoomKernel until the problem of APN is solved.
I've managed to flash CM7.1 with out having any issue... (seems there's battery drain... but not confirm yet)
The way I did from unlocking bootloader till flash CM7.1:
- Flash using flash tool to LT15i 4.0.A.2.368 Generic Global
- Unlock Bootloader
- Extract the boot.img from the CyanogenMod update.zip and copy it to the same folder as fastboot (the /tools folder within the Android SDK folder).
- Disconnect the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc from the computer and power it off.
- Download CM7.1
- Unzip it and copy all the zip file frm the 7z you've downloaded into your microSD
- Press & hold the Menu button while connecting the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc to the computer.
- On the computer, open terminal and run the following command:
fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0xfce reboot
- Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side Volume Rocker to move around, & the Power button to select.
- Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
- Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
- Select Install zip from sdcard.
- Select Choose zip from sdcard.
- Install the CM7.
- Install Google Apps.
- reboot.
NOTE: IF YOUR CONTACT IS IN SYNCML/SONY ERICSSON SYNC, PLEASE COPY YOUR CONTACT TO GOOGLE BY PERFORMING BELOW STEP:
- Go to Contact
- Setting > Backup Contact > choose memory
- Setting > Import Contact > choose gmail account
- Once you have successfully installed CM7.1, it will autosync the contact from gmail contact to your phone one you have setup the google account.
thank for your info
Source: Android™ Ice Cream Sandwich beta ROM available for unlocked 2011 Xperia™ smartphone models
Official thread by Kalle: [ROM] Official Sony Xperia ICS Beta ROM for arc S, ray, neo V
As a follow-up to the previous alpha, Sony has released the official beta of the upcoming ICS update for 2011 Xperia models. Unfortunately, this beta is currently only available for Xperia arc S, Xperia neo V and Xperia ray and they must be already running the latest firmware (4.0.2.A.0.42).
What's new?
Updated UI – We hope you will be happy to see that we have added a number of UI elements from ICS, as well as some new UI features already introduced in the Xperia™ S we announced in January.
Lockscreen and Face Unlock – We have added a shortcut to the camera directly from the lockscreen. Also, when you’re listening to music you can control the music player without unlocking the phone by using the music control icons on the lockscreen. In the coming final ICS upgrade, we will also include the face unlock app from Google for all phones that has a front-facing camera. The Face Unlock feature uses the front-facing camera in combination with advanced object recognition algorithms to provide a new way to unlock the phone. However, since Face Unlock is a Google Mobile Services (GMS) app, it is not included in this ICS beta ROM.
Connectivity turned on – Since we published the ICS alpha ROM, the GSM modem and FM radio have passed the certification and type approval, and they are therefore turned on in this ICS beta release.
Updated email client – The UI has been updated, and simplified email management has been added.
Quick dial – We have added a quick and easy way for you to make phone calls. See how it works in the ICS beta ROM demo video.
Please note that the Google Mobile Services (GMS) apps (for example Gmail, Google Maps and Face Unlock), Bluetooth™ and Wi-Fi™ are not included in the beta release due to that they are still waiting for the certification and type approval to be finalised.
Let's hope someone who is skilled out there to make it available for arc users. Also, I thought we were going to get the UXP NXT interface, but it seems like we don't.
What do you guys think?
Is this ROM maybe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJbDl8aikUk&feature=player_embedded
EDIT:Sorry, I didn't see this video in the link below
Woohoo ..! Can't wait to test
I wish i had the technical knowhow to port it to Arc =/
Making now
don't forget you can talk to us any time on gtalk and as always xbox live
Wow, we're getting almost all of the Xperia S features with the ICS update too!
Assuming it will work on stock kernel - can it be installed and a CWM backup made???
I have already restored my ARC S backup to an ARC without any issue (BOTH Locked bootloaders)
Just a thought
----Edit----
Just to be clear - Could someone with an UNlocked bootloader install the rom and then make a CWM backup of which can be restored in another phone (Locked bootloader)?
I am guessing the UNlocked bootloader is needed to get the rom installed because its not signed.
Can we flash this on original Xperia Arc? I am asking this because I know that roms for Arc are compatible with Arc S. I also know that Arc has different partition table, but maybe since I have a modded rom it has changed.
Someone uses it on an Arc, so yes

Curious... GSM is working, but does that only mean 2G networks?

Hi all
Have owned a X5 (U8000) since April 2011. In December 2011 I was introduced to rooting and custom ROMs via a friend
He rooted the phone and installed MIUI 1.11.25 - which has worked well, with two issues Green Lines in standard YouTube Playback and not being able to WiFi Hot Spot.
Today after many months of procrastination I purchased ROM Manager 5.5.2.8 and installed MIUI 2.12.20.
The two problems I have still remain sadly and I have introduced a third - the 'bold' headers in ROM Manager are missing and I can only see the words below.
Wondering if anyone knows a fix for above issues - have read all the threads I can find and see nothing mentioning these issues (the WiFi Hot Spot was fixed in the release just after MIUI 1.11.25).
The next question - I want to try CM10.1 which requires the official 2.3.5 kernel (?) - I am having trouble locating a mirror that still works.
Thanks all

I was trying to play Ravensword Shadowlands and Soulcraft on this device, but they are running slow, constant lag. But a puzzle game named The Room ran very well.
However the first 2 games run well on an older device, Sony Walkman NWZ-Z1060, and it has lower specs than the LG!
I already tried erasing cache and "freeing" some RAM via a default widget by default included in the phone.
Can you help me? Thanks.
I got an lg l7 and I had this problem when I first got it but all it needed was an update..Well I dont know if L7 II has the same firmware with mine but check if there is any available update...you re using stock rom right?
Of course, there's still not even CWM for this one yet.
A firmware update, you say?
39663498
I mean an official LG update...sorry if you understood something else with firmware When i first got it, it was running android 4.0.3 if im not wrong and I updated it to 4.1.2 which included an adreno update ( i think if you search xda you'll find it ) which really helped a lot with the games and videos..
I already have Jelly Bean on this device, and if you meant I looked for official updates via Settings, About Phone, Software Update, it said no updates available.
Thanks for your attention, but I think I'd need someone with the same device. Anyone else?

Bluetooth, Wifi
Really so many people are facing the wifi and bluetooth issues. come on, seriously? REBOOT!!!
Rebooting the mobile is not a fix for this problem. I have also been facing these problems even the mobile data button on the drop down notification gets stuck sometimes (Even ticking from the settings/mobile data off, it still was using my data and I realized my money was gone). battery life was ruined by the idous kernel, I have shifted to compact V1.3 kernel by nitu bhaskar, which is still better in terms of battery life, performance is not bad either and graphics is exceptional.
haven't tried others though. the only problem with the compact kernel is it doesn't support the A2SDGUI but link2sd works fine.(custom bootscreen! oh why ruin such a good kernel, dear nitu?)
So, thank you I can live with it, but please, these wifi, bluetooth, mobile data issues are needed to be addressed.
and btw why I can't even swipe to clear the running apps from the task manager menu. is it just for the looks or it really works?

I can't address the kernel issues as I didn't make it
Swipe to clear apps is only natively available on Android version ics 4.0 and higher
There is a thread in the general section where you can try implementing Swipe to kill into your rom for gingerbread
not going to be easy

:good: I have joined Xda few days ago and I am no pro at operating and handling languages well. but still, looking at it, trying to learn and adapt. will give it few days of study before I implement and experiment it.
who knows maybe you're going to be the reason behind my turning into a developer or I would be the reason behind turning my device into a bricked one :laugh:
Thanks mate
Just installed XDuosV3 2.0, need a little help with the OTA updates.
