Happen to have Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, how do I dump the rom out of this?

Hi,
This was originally posted to Android Dev General and someone stated i should put this here as well.
As stated in the title I've got a SE Xperia Arc here. It's obvious you guys want the software on this thing. I can dump it, if someone can provide instructions. I am familiar with ADB, command line usage etc.
This has to be quick as I have to bring this baby back tommorow

Well, first of all, its a prototype, which means it's useless to flash onto retail devices. Second of all, you're bound to make someone lose their job Decisions decisions...

It's for my own personal testing purposes. Thanks for your help, though.

How is the Phone?

copy everything in your internal storage(/system etc.) of arc to your computer

would it not have had the drivers in the source though that may have been portable over to the X10 2.3.2 J&Z implementation

Yeah managed to adb pull the system.
Sorry about stating you guys could have the sofware, it's my job at stake if I'd share with you guys I'll see if I can cook something up with this.
The phone's fine, much better than X10i. It's the best SE & Android combo I've used. The new UI really looks cool and is smooth as silk. Build quality isn't that great, too much plastic for my taste. This one packs Android 2.3.2 and is atleast as fast as my Nexus S running stock. An excellent upgrade from X1. I'd love to give you guys some in-depth review with photos but unfortunately I'm in bit of a rush.

please delete, already solved.

i don't have it the OP does not want to share the ROM because he would risk his job. Totally reasonable imo.

But if it is true, i think we could be able to port arc's applications into this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911364
Correct me if i'm wrong

Don't know if devs would be able to port or not, but why not wait for next month when phone's launched instead of asking the man to risk his job for something we could be getting in a month's time?

Best thing that you can do is dump the system. You can do this by issuing this command:
adb pull /system
once the device is USB Debugging Mode. This will really give us something to work with.

I would imagine that this would only be possible by using the kernel of 2.1 (the way that devs been using to port 2.2 and 2.3) as I don't think that SE would sign the certificate of arc with the same signature they signed the x10 so the only benefit of this is to get hold of SE add ons compared to 2.3 that j already ported
I would like to join the developers team at some point as I might have something to add, but I need to finish school in May as having 6 courses keeps my hands full...until then good luck to these guys for their impressive job and specially their dedication

well said!

MrHassell: so if the certificate is same, it will be possible to run arc kernel (2.6.32) on x10??

Hmm jobs at stake my ass, how would they ever find out from a simple system dump that you was the person that uploaded it???FAIL!!! GO AWAY TROLL

Let's follow his dog home and kill him with fire.

I think so, thats why Sony has such a good bootloader protection. They want you to buy the new one instead of pimping your X10. In the end Sony wil fail this, I'ts a mather of time. It does keep the noobs away.

If so, great news, I'd unlock my bootloader for sure!

What's the release date of the CM7-Version that supports our beloved Xperia devices? I guess it would be something like CM7 7.1.0RC2 or even 7.2.0!

Quoth Wikipedia:
CyanogenMod is an aftermarket firmware for over forty cell phones and tablets based on the open-source Android operating system.
It offers features not found in the official Android-based firmwares of vendors of these devices, including native theming support (also known as the "T-Mobile Theme Engine"), a codec for the Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC), compressed cache (compcache), a large APN list, an OpenVPN client, a reboot menu, support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB tethering, toggles in the notification pull-down (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and many more), as well as other enhancements. CyanogenMod was also the first mobile OS to incorporate BFS as the task scheduler, a change that has been merged into experimental branches in the official Android source tree.
CyanogenMod claims to increase performance and reliability over official firmware releases.

So yeah, it offers a lot of features not included in official ROMs, and very useful ones indeed. But if you don't plan on using them / don't need to, I guess it's better to stay on stock? That's up to you to decide, after balancing out the pros and cons.
You should also keep in mind that you might void your warranty if you choose to install a custom ROM.
In my opinion, SE stock ROM is better than most other vendors', but CyanogenMod is the best.

It depents. Is there anyone interested in working to port this for Xperia S? You can try asking people in the Xperia S forum and linking the HADK there, or even try porting this yourself.

I'd have thought development of Sailfish ROMs for Xperia devices would best best be focused on what are or will be the most popular ones.
That is:
Z1
Z1 Compact
Z3
Z3 Compact
Z3 Compact particularly is likely to be a really big seller. Indeed, looking at the market now, both Z3 and Z3C will likely sell way more than the Z, Z1 & Z2 series.

I don't know about Ubuntu, but MIUI and OmniRom seems to be very resource consuming, and Moto E will not run stable as CM11 or PA.
This is what a heard. Maybe with the improvements in android lollipop, we can get any of this somehow in a distant future.

Even though they are resource consuming but they can run easily in Moto E...I have used them in devices like galaxy y which have much lower specs than moto E.

I'm just saying, but Ubuntu porting is really hard. I looked up on the page and I read the guide and you have to do much modification in both, kernel and device tree. It's really hard and time consuming. Idk if any dev out there would do it for our device. But let's see.

ColorOS uses same structure as MIUI and Lewa. So I guess there is not a big chance of ColorOS as we don't even have MIUI.

If you are willing to port something for the moto e, why not AOSB? if you can and if you are willing of course.

well thank you for considering this. My last device was a Motorola Defy and it was ported fairly easily according to one of the developers in the defy forums.

No problem.
But what really annoys me, is that at 99% it stuck at syncing. I wasted 5 hours on sitting and watching and now this. Thank you github/PC/my life for doing such a great thing to me.
Well, I guess I'll have to resync..
EDIT: Finally found what the problem was. In default.xml a repo was there which doesn't exists anymore. That's why it simply stopped at this point. Now it worked and I'm done syncing. I can start building now!

[REQUEST] Updated Sony Apps port for CM12.1 (5.1.1)

Hi everyone,
I recently switched to CM12.1 and I have to admit I miss the stock sony apps (but I don't want to go back to pesky stock rom).
I flashed the apps of Ibanez7 and they're pretty good! But still a lot of features are missing and a lot of bugs are present.
Some things like conversations, xperia home would do good to cm12.1 I think
Is there currently any dev busy making these things? Or do we have to wait for sony to officialy release stock 5.1?
I'm currently on an Xperia SP, so if I want to be up to date i have to rely on CM.
Thank you for understanding

I am currently building a Sony App Installer. I will inform you later on

Lastest Xperia Home You can install manually

I currently don't have time (vacation for a few weeks) and besides that, it would be better if I include Stryders ported apps and wait for stability updates...
