Hi guys.
My girlfriend has an Arc S for 4 months. Before that, I upgrade for her some cooked ICS but it's so slow, so I decided to change to ICS original Rom.
I did some modified with battery percentage and xloud & Beats Audio, nothing more. But I noticed the Rom is so slow. For example: it took 4-5sec to open Dialpad or contact. 3-4sec to open Camera app. I just install Go launcher/locker/sms. Though I would try another cooked Rom. Could you give me some ideas or I might downgrade to 2.3.4.
Lag is a problem with ICS.
That is a reason, why I still use Gingerbread(4.0.2.A.0.62).
Downgrade to gingerbread

for the dialpad, you can solve it by apps
also, apex/nova laucher are more useful than GO in ICS
Questions
Hi everyone!
I'm a little bit confused about my phone performance. Still trying all the possible rom for my lovely arc, but it still has lag. I HATE this LAG! Every time when I'm open the dial pad, open sms app, etc. I'm on ICS from alpha stage to 4.0.4. Try ALL the avaible ROM on my arc without any success. It still has lag. Today, I think to downgrade to Gingerbread because this poor performace. But I think this is the end. I have the best looking phone ever and want to downgrade to an older system?! It's a joke. Not enough 1.6ghz and 512Mb RAM?! Why not?!?!
Please anyone suggest me a solution...
(I know, sell my "old" single core phone... :/ )
PS.: If someone tell me a safest way to downgrade to GB I will hit thanks button...
Download the gb firmware, download flashtool 6.x version.
Open flashtool and follow the onscreen instructions. Fairly simple.
Search for my thread about how to downgrade, there's a link for the gb ftf file there.
Good luck

CPU has not much to do there about the performance, also graphics and RAM play role. Just overclocking won't give you that big boost.
I use Arc S and am totally happy with GB. I don't miss ICS, it doesn't have any specific features, that are so good, that I couldn't be without,
THx for everyone!
I'm on 2.3.7. and still with happy with happy with that. For me, the speed is instant, always!!!
unlock your boot loader
install arcknight kernel 3.5.1
install jelly ice bean rom 4.2n
you will have a beautiful smooth arc.
Just swtiched back to GB.
ICS good for Dualcore devices, not single core. For Arc & Arc S, GB is the best.
p/s: I don't really like Go Launcher & Go stuffs but it has a great customization.

Yeah I too like that rom but I'm kind of a stock kinda Guy which is why donutHD stole me for good. I would really like to love fxp cm9 for its stockiness but that 30fps thing would make a notebook flip artist feel sick. *sigh* I had this phone going on 3years and still ticking very well. Ordered a new shell and gonna have him as good as new and sell it and I always liked the arc S is ill replace my x10 with it.
Rom: DONUTHD
Pros: Super stable
Cons: would like the have xperia S update.

Paranoid android rom
PROS
1.awesome ui, phone and tablet mode.
-ability to change apps dpi individually. Dpi for system and framework also can be changed.
Cons
1. Cm9 bugs
This rom is beautiful, I've used many ics roms and this one is perfect,for me.
Sent from my Xperia X10 using xda premium
Rom: Achotjan's xperia S rom.
Pros: I personally love xperia S ui, like the lockscreen music option, good ram management.
Cons: battery life is not that good, initially free ram is about 123MB then after few days use it reduces, which can then be re-obtained by rebooting.
Tweaks: Supercharger v9 (works amazingly on this rom) helps to save my battery juice somewhat.
I used Carbon tweak app for other tweaks like beats audio, dolby, srs, etc.
tried flashing "Ultimate boost" tweak package but dint see any further improvement.
I have used almost every rom including xperia s Ics, mookee, cm7, etc.
first of all hello
im using ThJap's Rom version 18b... you will not find this version in our forum,, idk why but ThJap decided to post his rom on his blog which i downloaded there from.
using stock kernel with it because stock kernel is the only kernel that runs fast in his rom,,, all other kernels are incompatible and will run like turtles.
pros::: all experia looks.,,, battery life is good... very fast and fluid,,,, very stable and no random reboots.
cons.. the only thing this rom doesnt have is the stock lockscreen from xperia s..,,, it has his own themed lockscreen slider which i didnt like. instead i played around with his rom and managed to get stock slider from xperia s integrated..
.i really recommend using this rom ... u will see real differences between other xperia s roms.. i promise...also this rom has lots of customisation there.
I am waiting for review thjap roms.
Currently im using X10S..oh well,stock look is sexy as ever ^ω^
Pros- 2nd cycle of battery,wow i can say! 2 days with normal usage! No lags at all,dunno with games cuz dint test with any..no wlods,no sudden battery drain,excellent deep sleep and the best part is reboot is so damn fast! Damn i hate waiting device rebooting after flashing or whatever.Doom kernel is fast!
Cons- less customization
-very little ram left(the setting itself uses 26-30mb ram-_-||)
Tweak used-supercharger v6 latest release.Thats all.
Overall- I give a 8/10. Its definitely a daily rom for its stabilty and full functionality.

Nice:
Techdevil evolution (stock based)
PROS:
+light, about 180 mb free ram, 150 in normal use :good: :good:,
+fast, smooth and everything goin good,
+fully working camera and video (stockbased...)
+ good gaming performance
+good battery performance
+scrolling is so damn sexy *_____*, I keep on scrolling the whole day
CONS:
+In-App-Settings doesnt work, can easily be fixed by flashing another framework-res.apk
+Theme (meego); not everyboody likes it, but its.at least not another boring sstyle or faked ics...
TWEAKS USED:
none till now, if necessary geeky engine
Btw, kernel: doomkernel v06 FS
Give it nine and a half of ten, because meego icons arent exactly my style and it needs a long time to change them by hand.... But, its sure the best rom i used sooo far (and i tried many)

This week the 3rd rom i flashed !
Rom: DonutHD 2.2.9
Pros:
- Everything u need from X10i !
-Full functionality!
Using th-kernel instead of doom's,some said doom's causing lags with this rom
Th-kernel n5-1 is recommended..
-Deep sleep works so well..no a single drop during standy mode.
-Beautiful UI ,Sexy ICONS!!! XD
-Excellent ram management.(not joking..this rom can compete with mokee rom wic i used before=120-160 free rams all time)
-NO wlods, NO random reboots
-NO boot animation so reboot is damn fast.
Cons: Until now i find none..THis masterpiece just fulfill all my needs for my old X10i.
10 out of 10! If anyone seen my review,U can flash this ROM.Easy and surprises ahead.
Just read some few pages back from the last page and follow the OP in DonutHD thread.
Dont flash any addon from the first page.Developer told so.So just follow his instructions.
NOw.
For Th kernel u have to flash stock kernel after the rom settles.then flash thkernel n5-1 like normal Rom installation.
Happy flashing ^^
cons to donuthd:
- not better than all the other roms (in performance), only different in look, which is
- not beautiful in my eyes, I like my gingerbread lookin like gingerbread
also had three roms this week: stock (for a completely new install), donut hd and now techdevil meego (that i had longer time ago and left because of settings fc, now back cause i fixed it

For the past few days I've been playing around with Paranoid Android, and aside from the usual CM9 bugs being the only cons I've found so far, pros would defiantly be the eye candy factor (hybrid tablet/phone dpi's), and it's also quite stable and fast once you set it up right!
FeraICS V2.1
The best ICS Rom i ever flashed.
This could be my last review in this thread..I found my Rom for my phone (*^﹏^*)
Everyone plz try this Rom!
Life without no regrets!
Sent from my Xperia X10 using xda premium
YEAH!
My Rom: Feralabs ICSv2.
Pros:
+penis grows a bit - caused by ics on x10
+its damn fast and smooth, only forrest can be faster
+good ram ~100 mb
+sexy sexy cm9.1
+at least as good as any gingerbread rom, better in my eyes
+battery is good till now
+two updates till now, new kernel released, v3 in work.
Cons:
-two many preinstalled apps (but thats what I always think)
-thread always spammed by thankful fellows and me ;-D
-big sizebof the rom, its 211 mb in zip package and 315 unzipped (no guarantee^^), caused by aroma installet...
At the end not only another ics rom but a real new generation Rom,bit really predicts the 4th generation of x10 development!
Daily use is guaranteed, and i see no dev that is more ambitioned or skilled like fera!
Greets and try it.
Sent from my Xperia X10 using xda app-developers app
Now i'm curious to test fera's ICS, you guys didn't mentioned at your Con list but i assume that camera isn't working fully yet, right?
After my frustration with many cm7 and MIUI roms i'm back to stock with DonutHD 2.2.9 r2 and i'm not coming back unless something reeeeeaaaaaly amazing comes out.
Donut is fast, fully functional, stable and battery friendly, i'm using ferakernel v2.7 and nuriJ's mods for status bar and screenshot, i don't need anything else unless it's something that means a significant step foward.
camera 8mp is working im still misssing some features but it takes photos and they are beautiful

Sent from my Xperia X10 using xda app-developers app
Maybe you should wait for FERA v3...the changelog is amazing ! gonna update the rom whenever it's ready!
Bugs are still cm9 bugs..arent my bugs anyway..
Overall just flash Fera's Rom at your own risk..There is no guarantee for your satisfaction.
We are only give recommendation and probably some fun.
Happy flashing!
Ok, I will try it, the worse that could happen is coming back to DonutHD
To keep Developmnet thread clear we can discuss problems here
Thank you for understanding.
ROM main thread [JB] ++ WalkerLab ++ Xperia X10 JB 4.2.2
reserved
I will keep this post updated as I test newer releases of the ROM/kernel but cannot promise to do it the same day when a new version is released because I only have one x10 and am using it daily as my main phone.
UPDATED WITH VERSION 1.1
Stability
Core functions are stable and the whole ROM feels stable but WLOD* is to be expected when trying to use a newly installed application. Using any overclocked settings leads to instability and a reboot in my case, but every CPU chip is different and can withstand different clocks, so don't let this be an ultimate result. Most stable governor seems to be ineractiveX and NOOP I/O sc.
v1.1 WLOD still persists but is under investigation by the developer.
Performance
Comparing it to other 4.x range ROMs, it has a kind of shakey performance, especially graphics performance. However, considering that this ROM is a JB 4.2.2 and this opinion is founded on the very first release of it, this is acceptable and will probably improve with newer releases.
v1.1 Seems a bit slower than v1 but that is probably because of many apps being installed with the ROM because this is a BETA version.
Battery life
Since my battery is in very poor condition and I am currently awaiting a new one, it would be misleading if I wrote anything here so I won't.
v1.1 Still didn't get the new battery so can't provide legitimate info.
Flexibility
Mainly because I love massive customization options and am a big CyanogenMod fan, I find this a bit unflexible in means of customization, but more options are to follow, especially through the AROMA installer.
v.1.1 adds the Xperia Z look, Timescape and SocialLife with SL being buggy like hell. It also adds some optional apps to install but no change in system integrated functions. Developer options can by accessed by going into Settings > About phone > Build Number
Notable bugs
- WLOD* on new apps
- Camcorder is not working (that is a well known problem with Android 4.X and our x10)
- HW decoding seems unavaliable as well but that is the same as the above but from what I understand, feravolt managed to get it working for 480p videos
v1.1 Above bugs still persist.
Note that I might have not found all of the bugs
*WLOD - White Led Of Death is the name for the process of a random reboot or a reboot not initiated by the user but because of a system related error. Typically the phone reboots with a white colored LED flash.
On a side note, I would reeaaaaaaly love if it would be more CyanogenMod 10.1 orientated than default JB 4.2.2.
Nice work though!
Sent from my Xperia X10 using xda app-developers app
I agree that the rom would be better off with cyanogenmod 10.1
Sent from my Xperia X10 using xda premium
Thanks mate, I installed seeder and (social life & battery Saver pro) from (zadi5h rom_hd3). through flashtool and all good no reboots or wlod. runs very smooth for 4.2.2 Force closes when trying to change themes you get xperia home has stopped, no wlod or reboot just ok to close and all is good again.
:cyclops: one eyed android fan!
Did you achieve any progress on the WLOD and crashing apps problem?
Sent from my Xperia X10 using xda app-developers app
Downloading - WalkerLab JB v1.1 seems to be a lot slower to download compared to V1 over 2 hours. I installed more apps to v1 last night and still got no wlod or reboots :good: is it just me? this seems to just work fine, although i don't play games so they are untested. I have 2 x10i's and have left V1 on for over 24 hrs new record for me! As I'm flashing Mad .... ....I can test anything you want to try.... [MENTION=295153]walker.
I saw you implemented xperia z look in v1.1. Will you give the option to change the look to cm10.1/standard in later releases?

Yes, I am preparing both look - Xperia Z and standart - choose in Arom,
ROM v1.1 is testing so is bigger aprox 300MB, will deleted some apps
WLOD - unfortunatelly it is also KERNEL problem, common problem of ROM and KERNEL, investigate, but still wati for git (do not have kernel sources just now)
Really do my best. But as you know it is very time consuming (need study, test - and have only 1 X10i )
Developer options
go to Settings -->>scroll down About phone -->>scroll down Build number -->>tap tap tap tap on Build number
Well done with this , you should be able to keep most people happy having the choice of ADW ,Xperia Z and standard. I recommend using seeder with this Rom, i think it makes a difference. Its great to have the Aroma installer and choices! All i have to add to this is Seeder a Movie Player and Digital Clock and that's it for me... as you already have XDA ......:highfive:

Depends on the kernel more than ROM and on functions you use. X10 is known for having poor battery life and apart from that the biggest problem on JB would be the lack of HW e/d and the camcorder.

The only difference i can see is under the battery for serial numbers are slightly different. I dont know which is newer but they are:
1. x10i Type: AAD-3880056-BV AAAB

S/l 1232-4473

Maybe someone know's and can share some info? 10W10 and 11W14 stand out to me but i cant find info even googling serials.

The second one you listed is the newer one. In the serial number the "CB511" is the same and then comes the letter "G" in the first phone and the letter "T" in the second one. G comes before T meaning the phone with the G was made before the other one. Same goes for type, the older one (first one you listed) has AAAB and second has ACBE. A is before C meaning the first one you wrote is surely older.

Hi all
just testing new version - I´ve found some bugs.
I´d like to ask you - which version of xperi Z launchers do you prefer? The situation - new launcher from ra3al doesn´t support timescape plugin and I am not able to correct it just now (for time reason). So do you prefer newer launcher or the older one?
Another question - do you want to choose also explorer like Opera or Dolphin into Aroma installer?
Thanks for tip.
personnaly I use dolphin browser.
I have no sim card, so im waiting for v3, but this ROM looks great
walker.cz try habit browser, amongst all the other browsers its the lightest, fastest, smoothest and the most functional browser for x10.n
Hello guys
I have a question about Xperia SP & Xperia V !
I want to buy the phone that has the less bugs, software/hardware problems etc..
I think there is not too much difference in performance between the two, so I need an advice please.
I thank you in advance ^^
I think there is no any reason why would you buy an older xperia V

The performance differences is huge enough, especially in GPU. You only need to choose between good SoC or water resistant

But don't you think that Xperia SP has more problems than Xperia V ? I mean serious problems like bugs, lags, software bugs... and then the performance of Xperia SP won't mean anything.
I've been used latest Sony update 12.1.A.1.201 which solved many bugs
RAM management issue and LED issue when playing music in Walkman app
Only thing that bugging me is enabled LED during a call.
Other than that and with RAM management solved I see no lags or any other misbehaving with my phone.
So latest FW is almost perfect for average user and everyday use.
I don't like it's bloatware but with root, you can remove those app you don't want.
Also you have many stock based custom ROMs and real custom ROM's like
CM10.2, CM11, and Carbon, Mahdi, Vanir...
I tried PureXSP, ExistenZ, Vanir, MIUI...
and currently I am on Carbon KitKat build
I don't know about Xperia V but I'm sure if you search forum you will found as many bugs for V as for SP

I've had both Xperia V and Xperia SP.
In STOCK conditions, I could confidently say that Xperia V > Xperia SP.
Xperia SP may have superior hardware compared to Xperia V but Xperia V has significantly less bugs, a better STILL camera, superb RAM Management, and you even get water resistance up to 1m and 30mins (with that, I would usually clean my Xperia V by soaking it in a dipper filled with water).
However, Xperia V is also ageing well and the same goes with official software updates from Sony. Xperia SP has more chances of getting another software update than Xperia V.
Although Xperia SP has all these annoying bugs, there are plenty of devs who created ROMs that have fixed/mitigated these bugs. The subsequent software update [12.1.A.1.201] has also patched critical bugs such as WiFi issues, Illumination Bar issues, RAM Management (uh, slightly), and others. However some issues still persist such as the screen flickering bug as reported by other xda members (I don't experience this though).
Xperia SP for me has an awesome hardware for a mid-range android device and its performance is only limited by such ugly stock rom. But hey, isn't that the reason why we are here in xda?

I've had both Xperia V and Xperia SP.
In STOCK conditions, I could confidently say that Xperia V > Xperia SP.

Thank you for the explanation, I really appreciate it,
I'm going to get XSP then !
( I think that Xperia SP has less chance of getting a new update cause it may get even more bugs if they updated it to KitKat )

No thanks ! I don't like the ugly design of samsung, and it's the same on all the samsung devices !
In my opinion, Xperia V has a better camera, display and it's water resistant.
Xperia SP has a slightly bigger (not so good) display, so-so build quality (my on/off button has broke twice), mediocre camera, but great looks and a good processing power and MIGHT get Android 4.4 (I doubt it).
So it's up to you to decide which do you like the most.

Thanks
I'm going to buy XSP, and I like its screen size it's perfect not small not too big !
I hope I won't get any lags or problems with it, even on the 4.3 ^^ ( because I know some people that don't have any minor or major bug with this update, it's 100% working bug free ! )
Good! As I always say, the best phone you can get is the one you like the most, otherwise you'll get bored of it quicker.
Enjoy your future SP.
Hi everyone!
Just got the 4.4.4 from Pc companion.
It seems ok! Fast and smoother than 4.4.2
Battery drain is just ok but was better on 4.3 version.
RAM is occuping a lot for some apps:
Settings ~140MB
Google keyboard ~50MB
Facebook -113MB
Google search 56MB
New xperia live wallpaper ~100MB !!!????
Do you notice the same or similiar things??
I still notice temperature is increasing easily when looking on web, facebook, youtube after a while.
I still think 4.3 version (.101) was the best for battery and less heating on back cover.
I also tought "Move to SD" option was coming but nothing!
How you doing with this new update???
Aosp its the best option for me
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Free mobile app
Notification sometimes is partially opened and there are still problems with music but less than was on 4.4.2. Performance ok
The lag is finally gone, the Phone is really smooth.
Battery life definetly improved
Google location battery issue is finally solved.
There are still sound problems, the sound lags from time to time.
Overall, very pleased with the update
It's butter than the 4.4.2 specially buttery life but I still prefer paranoid android
I don't know you guys but with 4.2.2 and 4.3 this phone was awesome but now I can see he doesn't like this s***
that much...
Notification bar is not always so smoother and temp is going up easily. Maybe I should try to flash with flashtool.
Then if nothing is better i'll go for Cyanogen or an old stock update.
Please tell what you think after days and if you find issues!
There is one pure aosp but not on xda due some blabla, pabx one. In cm11 rootcloack is not working anymore. Pabx rom is the fastest and stabe for me, combined with snaphdr the photo quality is the same like in sony rom.

Only Battery Performance have been changed for me . . .
Love This Update!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally Bluetooth works with car controls. Couldnt use my steering controls or phonebook since 4.1. Phone very fluid and fast.
Hey guys, I know it's not the right thread, but I have one quick question.
I'm about to unlock my BL and would like to install some custom rom, aosp or cm based. So can someone recommend me some, with a lot of features, like double tap to wake etc... Feel free to pm me if for some reasone it's inappropriate to post it here...
Help is very appreciated, thanks.
Is it just me or is the default white balance settings not that great in this update:?
I came from KMV from what I can say between AOSP and Sony Stock ROM is that stock rom no matter what will always have the best battery life but in terms of security fixes AOSP :3

Hi, I don't see any problem.. white balamce is the same as always. Try to play with that setting and maybe you get better white.

So STOCK ROM are best for battery? I would like to try CM11 but battery life is very important for me. What you think?
Ok
I just flashed it today and after few minutes flashed other non stock ROM
It was disappointing... In other pages saying WIFI IMPROVED but it wasn't
I've faced a WiFi problems like dropping and no internet access while I'm actually connected. Same as other stock ROMs
The speed was great. Battery life was ok
But the WiFi is a huge problem for me. That's why I flashed custom ROM....

I dunno bro but my home WiFi is pretty weak. So I got drop outs but it's perfectly fine on custom ROMs
Maybe it's yes better than 4.4.2 but my home WiFi is weak and that's may be the reason
But I can say it's need little improvements

Google wallet tap and pay works on this update as HCE is finally enabled. I'm using it on a c6606 with the generic ES update on it.
What?

I flashed the generic es version of the 4.4.4 update onto my wife's c6606. I had previously read that NXP HCE support was added into android after 4.4.2. When I opened up wallet, I was asked if I wanted to set up tap and pay. It now works, though I'm sure all the general wallet restrictions apply (us only...).
