Xperia Arc S + Locked bootloader + stock-based rom - Xperia Arc General

Hi guys!
I've bought an Xperia Arc S some days ago. I'd like to root it (but NOT to unlock the bootloader) and install Ultimate HD 4.0 and link2sd. Someone has already done this thing? It can be done?
And about Ultimate HD (naturally with stock kernel), it records [email protected] videos? Does the HDMI output works? Other bugs? Thanks to all!! :laugh:

No bugs of this kind
And UHD 4 is for locked bootloaders as well
Jader has given instructions to root and install CWM in The opening post

So the video recorder works as well as the stock firmware's one?? :laugh:

Oh, another question: in the Xperia Ultimate HD official thread, it says to root the smartphone using this tutorial.
Can I use the new One Click Root (this thread) to achieve the same thing, install CWM with x-Parts app and flash the Ultimate HD zip?

Does not matter which method you use. The end result is same, so yes, you can use that new one as well.

What the *BEEEP!*, Look at the Sony V630i(Old phone) if you flash it an custom W660 Rom it can use Flash, and it's an old phone, and the X8 can't do it??? COME ON!!!
Are you sure that W660 supports Flash? AFAIK it has only old FlashLite...
x8 only supports FlashLite
I think X8 need a big screen...

Best Custom ROM to flash?

Hey guys,
Lately the Stock ROM is annoying me, I'm planning on flashing it to a custom ROM - I don't see gingerbread anywhere so I thought why not !
Also, my tab was rooted until something happened and I had to reset it to factory settings, most of the apps (that need root access) work, but titanium backup claims it fails to achieve root.
So Should I re root my tab before flashing a custom ROM?
and of course the question I asked in the title - what would you'll recommend for a custom rom on a GSM tab (I was thinkin overcome)
Cheers
Jackie
Go for overcome rom, works like a charm for me

I'd also reccomend Overcome. Best rom out there IMHO. Until we get data on honeycomb anyway

I also recommend Overcome. It's been brilliant so far.

Sweet, thanks a lot guys.
But can anyome tell me a sure **** way of know if it still has root, because some apps like screen density and market enabler work but titanium backup says "could not gain root" :/

Probably because you mis-pressed the allow button in superuser when first launching titanium.
launch superuser and remove teh titanium entry and next time you load it will ask for su rights again.
Definetly overcome!

I second that. Alterbridge is a first class developer.
And I really miss Rotohammer too.
Thank you very much everyone, I'm thinking I'll get rid of unwanted stuff on my internal SD before I start it - as I found out that conversion to ext4 takes a while - so I'll save time that way also - hopefully if time permits, I'll be flashing my tab soon
Also does anyone know if i could some how get the gingerbread framework to work with the galaxy tab on overcome?

I think its better you hold out at the moment till someone ports it over to the WiFi version
Well its a good idea. Am empty SD card conversion takes 2 minutes. Full one can take upto 20 LOL. Not that I encourage everyone to wipe their cards. I flashed overcome when my tab was fairly new so I had no problems wiping it.
sweet, thanks for the info, also when the ext4 is being converted, is there a progress bar or status? I get paranoid at times when I don't see any progress

YES THIS IS MY OWN WORK !!!! that flash from the chinese android tablet pc has many errors and slows your phones cpu by too much it drains the battery and causes browser to stop in the middle of veiwing the web pages and it can sometimes lead to wierd behaviour. i have solved all these issues with my flash 10.2 and my new flash 10.3. these are no issuie with my flash players. these are made from ENGLISH real adobe flash players not chinese ripp offs. if you want to keep a good battery life and have no issues then simply use mine

Flash player 11 !!!!!!
i was working on flash 11 but tbh i think 10.3 is high enough as 11 is way way way to much hardware dependent for our ARM6 to cope with that is near on impossible so sorry this will be last update every1
Thx, now downloading.
Works on MiniCM6. Thanks

Can any1 confirm flash 11 working? I asked for test results but no1 posted any
I tried 10.3 in YT and it worked ok at 240p but lags terribly at 360p. This is still great, I wonder how well it does in websites. I can't think of a heavy flash site right now, anyone has examples?

Just make a backup and try it, if something isn't right afterward just restore your backup.
Thanks for the link, I flashed it and do notice some improvement
Tried to flash this on my stock 6.2.2 KF and was unsuccessful. Is it only compatible with cooked gingerbread ROMs? Thx for your help in advance.

Sounds interesting. I always thought it was a marketing gimmick. Did it work on ICS too?
Not sure how people are making this work for KF. Tried several times through twrp and it didn't install. Did the manual push, which lead to my device getting bricked. I think I'm gonna stay away for now till the kinks get ironed out unless anyone with a KF can help me successfully install.

Yes. I believe the thread said it was for Gingerbread only, but some ICS folks had luck. I do not think there was any talk of the stock KF firmware, nor was it designed to install correctly on that firmware.
On a side note, it does not really install correctly on anything, must people just thought they heard a difference unless they went through the manual installation process.

Yeah when I read the original thread, it just listed GB ROMs as compatible and so it installed fine on my infuse 4G. Since I already was running voodoo sound on my infuse, couldn't be sure on whether the sound is really all the way different, but some songs and their bass sound a little clearer than before.

Does x8 support flash?

I did some research online and I still don't understand if it is possibile to install flash player on our phones. As I understand it, our phone does not support flash player, but there is a ported version of flash player which works on this phone. The question is, which one?
I use PrimeHD 6 on my xperia, and I tried this versions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18562297#post18562297
but, even if the installation works well, when I try to stream videos which are not hosted on youtube, I got the message "Sorry, unable to reproduce the video". Why?
Try version 10. Its more stable on me.
Dont expect to experience the same thing. Expect lags.
The official version, or the ported version? Can you link me where I can find it?
