Now i use the nexus rom v2 works great think i try the arc to when its done no reboots nothing everything works fine
Sent from my Nexus-X8 using Tapatalk

When i finally think i'm happy with a custom rom, i find a new one that i wanna test. Thanks a bunch!

I only get 868 points in Quadrant with the Arc-X8 i installed yesterday. All in all the phone runs smooth and more ore less fast but Angry Birds e.g. in some situations is very slow.
Does anyone know when a new version of minicm will be released?

Check out nobodyatalls thread at x10

SlideScreen Pro based ROM anyone?

Starting this week, hopefully, I wanna begin work on a 2.3 ROM for X8 featuring the SlideScreen Pro setup, but improving on a couple things, such as:
1) App interface Clean milky-white interface all around, with classic gray and orange colors. GingerBread (etc) options integrated into SlideScreen style
2) Gmail notifications to main screen Revert Gmail notifications from StatusBar onto main screen
3) Revamping looks, feel, and functionality Improving overall menu-ergonomics, giving it a SlideScreen-MIUI feel and look
Anybody wanting and willing to collaborate is more then welcome.
I'll post some preliminary interface pics after Tuesday, March 6th, since I gotta get a separate laptop running Linux, due to daughter needing play games on the PC . Once I do some basic mods to the SlideScreen interface, I'll test it on GB. Once I get the appropriate performance, I'll post Alpha.

like it
i like slidescreen
i like ur idea
may i give u more idea..
can you make it more ICSish..
ill wait..
maybe i can become the first tester..
#ihope

No sorry not making a rom, was interested initially because I was looking for a good modded version of the launcher fully functional with no fc. I use 1.26 now but I want 2.0 full with no fc in Facebook.
Sent from my N860 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2

Now it's here, what do you think? ICS

I am actually quite happy with it, it's fairly fast nice and smooth with no major issues.
Just need status bar toggles, power button menu, custom kernel and I think I will be happy
What's everyone else's thoughts ?
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium

it's OK and stable..only thing is the lag issue..it should be snappier..

Is good to use smooth no lag
But I don't know how to root can anyone teach me??

i am hearing the same ui as in the leaked one.. is that so?? my much problem is the phone heat problem. is it the same on ics??? now i am hearing so many complaints, i am having second thoughts about having ics :\

Why my arc s always hang when i connect WiFi?

which custom kernel??
can give link it work pls...
sorry that i try before 2.3 nearly kill my phone is pass so i dont want make mistake pls help ok

Well, I'm still not sure what the whole big deal is about this update for us.
It isn't more beautiful then a custom ROM. Even Sony told us that this isn't as fast as GB.
And their are still a lot of apps that isn't working correctly on 4.0.
I have it for only one reason. That is because I can't stand if someone with the same device have a newer software then me
Edit: I thought we should have the original unlock. But I have still the Sony one.....

It is no way smooth.. Everything works.. But isn't hardware acceleration supposed to increase the smoothness? I don't blame Sony. I blame Google for not fixing hardware acceleration right!
Sent from my LT15i using XDA

Try enabling gpu acceleration in developer settings?
Has anyone tried using apex launcher? It's probably way better than the stock launcher from what I've seen; like ICS but even better

Running official ics(rooted).its excellent. Very quick lag free compared to beta. I have frozen unneeded system apps and deleted bloatware. Very snappy
Sent from my LT18i using XDA

I love it.
I've been running the ICS beta since it was released and the performance of the final release blows it away on my Arc S. Getting it installed via Flashtool was a right PITA though - I thought my device was properly screwed at one point!
The launcher doesn't redraw like the beta did - I think Sony have made some memory tweaks in this area which is very welcome. I also like that they're shipping the official ICS Gallery app (and have renamed the old one 'Xperia Gallery') - the ICS Gallery app is so much faster than the Xperia one.
The ICS browser is in a different league to the GB one. I also love the Task Switcher, swipe notifications, music player controls, data usage monitor, new ICS calendar widget, GMail widget, etc. etc.
But Sony won't be able to please everyone. Some people were expecting the 2012 NXT UI even though Sony never promised it. These people will be disappointed. Personally I can't see what all the fuss is about - I'm sure someone will get the Xperia S music player working on ICS if that's what people want!

sooo smooth
so fast
i use baseband 70 with cm9
so fast sooo smooth >> perfect battery use
good new baseband

please can someone find a way too root this firmware without unlocking the bootloader??

its complete rubbish to be honest. It hasnt improved at all since beta, the look and feel of it is like 2.3. They could have atleast been bothered to integrate some of xperia s apps.

Why would they integrate S apps into the Arc S ? What would be the point in giving this years flagship phones apps to last year's ? Then it removes some of the attraction of upgrading , Sony is a business out to make money not provide users with all the solutions they want

Miui jellybean is the best rom i use so far

I said it because this rom has no problem with media scanner. I can view all my media files easily without having to wipe usb storage or to delete .nomedia or what so ever. It currently my daily use rom. Im happy playing with it event it lacks in mode.

dont know what your having problems with... probably flashed at least 8 different JB roms... never had media problems.
Honestly cant stand miui, tons of engrish and straight up asian characters EVERYWHERE.

Maybe u are a lucky guy who hv a lucky nexus s. Im having this media problem from the 1st jb rom i flashed. Miui.us is the first jb rom that i fully satisfied because there is no problem with media. It doesnt mean that i dislike the other roms. But yeah. I love rom that can play music and smooth .

I've flashed nearly every jb Rom available for my ns4g, with the exception of miui. I've never liked the look of miui. I've never had a problem with media files, but have seen and helped correct several issues that resulted from the rom manager app update that put the files where they didn't belong...

It means he's a racist

when i use chomp sms , sometimes get force close

Everything is actually noticeably faster for me including the web browser. The default music player it has is pretty awesome too. Task bar is good. The only problem I have so far is the default web browser is having trouble with JW player. Every time I try to play a clip it goes to a 403 forbidden error. Other than that, it's a lot snappier than the ICS rom I had before (also MIUI, Oodie Prime).

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 ?

I don't know but I will try this when @n1koola released stabil version.
