Mozilla OS for Arc S - Xperia Arc General

Now this is a very interesting OS for Arc S.
Installed it and it gave me 422mb of free RAM, very unique and beautiful was the UI and setup guide.
As mentioned the camera, bluetooth & FM were not working, but so was the back button. The reason I had to uninstall it was sheer lack of apps (understandably) and even when connected to wi-fi browser was not opening any pages.
But with such a refreshing look and feel would request developers to get it for Arc S as it is very refreshing.

i will macke FQA and i think there will be beter to discus about firefox os ;D

Back button is not supposed to work.

Anything Missing?

Ok I know not everyone will have come from the X10 but even if you haven't is there something missing on the ARC that we could do with?
I for one am missing my web thumbnail's widget.
(if anyone wants to point me in the direction of one)
Face recognition
Actually I only realised it first have face recognition yesterday and although I never used it all that much I still think it would have been a nice to have.

The only thing I miss about the X10 is the LED being on the front of the phone instead of on the side.
There's no comparison, none at all.
For grabbing your attention no, so in regards to notifications that definitely a down point.
Stlye wise its nicer but I prefer the function of it oget how pretty it look's.

Missing from the Arc IMO - NFC, inductive charging, bigger battery.
None of them are likely to be deal breakers for anyone though.

[Discussion] Features Wanted for SpartaMOD [Based on my 2.3.7 AOSP]

The next update of the ROM will be based on FreeXperia Sources 100%
Which should fix tethering and most other things
I love my X10 and there is a bond with other X10'ers here
I wanted to start modding my AOSP into something that I want to call SpartaMOD
I had prepared for this some time ago ...
The ROM will be added on ROM Manager (HTC Desire HD section )
I only have the guts of asking because I now have a lot more knowledge as I created my App "God Mode" based on OMFGB
what would you want in this ?
Be very specific and the advantages of having it
I can't include MIUI Lockscreens , xLoud , etc (I'm not TripNRaver)
Please be careful This MOD will be spread to very many devices
Plans for now are :-
ARC , Neo and X10
HTC desire s and desire HD
Any one cares ?

1. combination of launcher will be great.
SE 2.3.3 floating overview, SE home, Go style application drawer with animations and build in task killer.
2. CM theme chooser
3. Must have apps pre-installed
Rooted and Superuser 3.0
Explorer (free)
New Android Market
Titanium Backup (free)
Facebook inside Xperia (perhaps )
On the T.E.A.M Rom they have appman which I believe is good for putting add-ons onto your rom without having them pre-installed or having them downloaded from the thread.
Thought of joining FreeXperia Team, spaarc?
You'll make a great addition, i think you should take my name "prodigy" cos you really are one, 15 yrs and first to port 2.3.7 about 4 days after release, remarkable achievement!

What users want in the upcoming upgrade Android 4.0

-Music control and weather conditions in the lock screen.
-A special made live wallpaper for the XPERIA range.
-A widget for the time and weather at the same time.
Please guys feel free to add your wishes and requests.

-dedicated video player that plays most formats

When my phone rings from a call, and i connect the hands-free plug so i can listen better, the goddamn phone hangs and denies the call!!! And i gotta wait for the person to call me again... wtf!! Im expecting the phone not hanging the call and let me use my connected accesories as i please...
Even my ooold nokia 5800 could easily do that, and my xperia arc can't? wth..
Also, i'd like more desktops, with the stock rom [so please dont start suggesting mods and the like], 5 desktops are not enough.
Camera button to control music when the screen is off.
The percentage of the battery inside the battery icon in the notification bar.

But surely that's the point of having an Android phone. The manufacturer supplies a base spec then the user can add to it with apps and modifications.
What about XDA premium you posted from, surely that's bought and installed?
Music control in the lock screen works really well with Poweramp.

Lol dude all the companies provide that for their users beside I love the Sony Ericsson player and I hate AMP , one more thing I don't buy applications I always get it all for free like the xda here.

Accordingly to a a thread opened on Xperia Neo (V)/ Pro SE forum, a QuickDial (T9 entry for contacts parsing, "Sense contacts-Like") feature will be implemented in ICS upgrade. So ARC will benefit too.
Beside that, an overall improved calendar widget and app could be a plus. Moxier is not a big deal, easily removable, but will be even more useless under ICS.

Why do you post a new thread, if there already is a similar thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348978
fix all the fails , lose signal , reboot , etc , and more fast .
- speed dial (like HTC's)
- scrolling notification toggles in the status bar
- music controls in the lock screen
I'm not asking the moon i think

You should start buying the apps you use to support development.
And Android is all about apps.
You can customise your phone to the fullest by finding the right apps for you.
SE and all other companies provide the minimal amount of apps to keep the phone running, the rest is up to you.
You can't expect from a firmware to include apps tailored to your needs because simply your needs are not the general rule.
Lower jpeg-compression and higher bitrate for videos!!!
And maybe a more flexible/adjustable lockscreen!

White Theme of Phone and Messaging Applications

I recently upgraded from Xperia S to Xperia Z. Frankly I like everything about Xperia Z except the white theme of Phone & Messaging applications. I miss the black theme found in Xperia S. In fact this is the only thing I HATE about Xperia Z. Don't understand why Sony changed it? At least they should give an option to change the theme if the user want.
Apart from it I found Xperia Z to be better on every aspect except Wi-Fi signal which is better in Xperia S. Xperia Z drops Wifi signals frequently at places where Xperia S has no problem.
Please post your views whether you like Black or White theme for Phone and Messaging applications.
What firmware do you have? I'm experiencing Wi-fi signal drops when I'm far from the router, had no problem with an Galaxy S2
The idea is:
Productive apps -> White
Fun apps -> Black
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk HD
I own an S and to be honest I prefer the look of the white apps on the Z, at least from what I've seen in screenshots. Not sure how they look in person though - white apps on a screen that isn't full brightness don't look as good in my opinion.

Hi I'm not sure if this is correct forum but is there anyway to get transparent dialler and contacts on the z, without root. I love the phone but preferred the look of x10i I think it was. Apologies if I'm in wrong place. Thanks in advance

White for me as well. Looks clean and modern. With Sony's holo-blue additions, it looks just great.

No way.unless you use third party dialers.theming needs root

It's a matter of taste, but actually I like the black one too. The only solution without rooting is to search for a 3rd party app.

Advantages of Firefox OS on Arc S

Dear Arc/S users
Althought we - Arc or Arc S users - use a smart phone that come out only two year ago we can't use our telephone without custom roms, because it is very laggy, and have got lots of bugs notification led etc. with 4.0.4 update. And some users including me have privacy concerns with permission etc.
I want to call attention to advantages Firefox OS on Arc S:
1. First, I saw this video. http://youtu.be/5MzuGWFIfio. In video Firefox Browser that was very laggy on my Arc S with Custom ROM is working awesome without any lag. And the phone in the video has 256 Mb RAM. Think this os how works fast on Arc S.
2. And all Xperia 2011 series except for Arc have a Firefox OS Development Topic. We have a topic too but is not improved yet, and haven't got enought attention. I open this topic for this stuation.
3. Boot in less than 6 seconds even in MDPI devices. (This Xda Topic) (Edit 1: Firefox OS open as fast as 4.0.4 stock dialer. )
4. The small footprint of a browser based operating system means that B2G should significantly extend battery life before re-charging.(This Xda Topic)
5. B2G will be the first mobile OS to use Do Not Track at the operating system level. (This Xda Topic)
Is there a way to do a backup and transfer messages and contacts from android to firefox and return ?
