Please can someone tell me y not xperia arc supports custom Roms, I mean , why cannot the prebuilt ROMS for different

Galaxy S such device have less customization so it's similar to the vanilla Gingerbread and they are port from older Samsung devices which is quiet easy for a developer becuase most of the drivers and other frameworks are the same. But Xperia Arc we have lot of new customization like EXMOR sensor, etc. which we need drivers for, and lot of those drivers are not public so developers are working hard to get that working. And porting other ROM are very difficult and time consuming process.

Also if they are successful in getting drivers in CM 7. Then could these drivers be used in making other ROMS ?

Yes. CM7 is the best custom ROM. Other ROM there won't be much difference same CM7 based few apps add or removed, zip align, custom theme etc.
Yeah..
Xperia has a few new things.. Exmor R sensor.. The thing behind the great camera we have
Even the Radio had changes for which the CM drivers not compatible.. which I think they recently fixed in FreeXperia and CM..
CM gets fixed cos it is one of the most used custom ROMs and supports a lot of devices.. A lot of the other ROMs are just small changes over stock and a few others build over CM ..

Is it possible to do the multiboot on our ARC??? For example, we use our favorite ROM as our main ROM, and then we can boot another ROM from SDCard (in testing purpose) so that we can switch between ROMs easily.
It is possible to do the multiboot on SE X8 and X10mini but I don't know why there isn't any threat about this on ARC Forum.
Here is the link for x8: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151293
Why is a small phone like X8 and x10 can, but not our ARC?
I really wish it is possible..
I think the way of managing partitions it's not good to enable multi boot...
If the roms work on the same kernel then you can backup/restore with cwm. cm7 has a different kernel from miui, or stock, due to various module differences.

nice to see that to,but what is the point of having many rom inside devices..

That's because, all ROMs have used the same kernel (stock kernel).
Now, that there are also custom kernels, it didn't even make sense anymore.

To show your friends, I can boot in this ROM, then I reboot and hey it's another?

Hey guys,
advance i get started with the topic i must say im not english and im very new in this forum, so please forgive me little mistakes like using the wrong thread or something like this
so now to topic.
I own the Sony Ericsson Arc S, its all ready rooted and modded.
since the Google I/O 2012 a few days ago, im realy in love with the pure android feeling with out manufacture specific launcher like Xperia home, htc sence or so. :victory:I'd like to have the pure google nexus experience right on my arc s.
I don't want jelly bean pls don't missunderstand, im searching for ICS.
Is there any way to get the pure nexus ICS feeling on my arc s ?
i searched allready in here, but the only thing i found was the other direction to get xperia on nexus ( WTH ?! who wants? xD )
thanks for your help and feedback :good:
all you have to do is install CM9 on your arc s....it is based on AOSP..so it will look same like google nexus OS
oh really ? yeah man thanks, so easy ... i I didn't expect
thanks man :good::victory:
but one little question. is it also including all apps like contacts telephone and so on ? must i used a specific Arc s CM9 ? I must know whether i must search for cm9 or for arc s cm9
no probs...happy to help
i'd find this link -> download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=anzu&type=stable
but i gues its the worng ?! i own the LT18 but there it is named LT15 so the "old" arc, is it familiar ( because of cpu frequency and the 3D camera ) ?
GO here dude
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356685
Old one is Arc and it has less cpu frequency..
thanks for that.
oh man, it looks extremly hard to do. Kernel, Baseband, rom ahhh omg. if i do it right i got the jackpot and make a big party xDD
I am searching nearly one hour for an tutorial to get cm9 on xperia, dont finding any at all? is it so unpopular on arc ? i never done that before i dont know WAHT i must install and HOW :/ whats with the baseband, the kernel and the rom how can i put it rightly on my phone? i cant find anything, not in google and not here

No dude.. Process is same for all custom roms.. Only files r different..
First flash kernel
Then flash baseband
Then flash the rom through recovery
Then flash Google Apps.
It might sound complicated but if u do these step by step I am sure u will see its easy. So now first search for how to flash kernel. M out now or else I could've sent u links.

another thing. what is the " cm9.0 GAPPS ADDON " are this the google apps you meant ?
GAPPS is the Google apps like gmail, the play store etc.
It is essential for you to flash it.

Hi,may I suggest JJ hybrid rom 3.1 which is basically still sony stock rom but with AOSP experience..in other words you will get pure google experience and at the same time everything works includng bravia engine and xloud,trust me..arc's speaker is way too quiet without xloud...it is also the fastest and stable rom for me..battery life is great compared to cm9..and for the kernel try arcknight 3.3 stock for performance n battery life..that's all
resoftes applications
its nice from you get me this tip but the status of flashing new rom is by putting the usb cable in to my arc, more i can't do for now, i never done that before. i only read words like fastboot and so but i dont find any tut that tells my what it is.
but i think i will get the CM9. and xloud aren't used by me anyway so i dont need.
And the bravia engine don't make a big difference i guess.
but back to my problem, i cant find the right kernel for my arc because i don't know for what what I'm looking for. is the kernel including in the Rom zip !? I'm totally confused and perplexed
if i got these, then i can searching a tutorial how to flash it, but for now i got nothing to flash, so a tut makes no sense for now i must have the files first.

The kernel is there in the FXP package. It will be the boot.img file.

i dont get it. how can i install the kernel first, if the kernel is same file as the rom ?
if i go to CWM and install form zip and select the rom with the kernel i cant choose kernel i must choose the hole zip. i dont understand it. how can i separate between kernel and rom if its the same file?
i searched in google and youtube: " flash android kernel " but i don't find any good tutorial, only a lot of tuts that left out mayor facts and steps or other wise i dont find any noob tutotials.
my nerves are ending in a nuclear meltdown. i got any facts and files i must have but they are swimming around like a letter soup
im not english or american that makes the hole thing for me double hard, particularly i dont understand video tut's because of the extrem bad voice quality and any kind of american slang or migrated american slang. so youtube tutorials complete out of use for me and google dont like me too seem so.
while im trying to unlock my bootloader, anything worked fine, but for now it doesnt boot anymore. pls guy can any body help me
I did it exactly with this tutorial! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676135

Hi I want to use the new release Kitkat 4.4 ROM for Xperia ION posted on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590849
How can I install it if I have my bootloader locked @MrGezz @RaymanFX @Optimus @ARNOB @AshRoller
Please I want to use and test this ROM.
Thanks for your help.
Unfortunately you can't without the custom kernel which requires the bootloader to be unlocked.
Also, tagging the other devs and members for a common question is not a good thing
Hey this project has bin successful [MOD][UB][TESTERS NEEDED!] CyanogenMod 10 for locked bootloader [WIP][DEV]. is there anyone who could alter it for Xperia Ion users,
He also gave some instruction how to here.
Unfortunately i'm not knowledgeable on that aspect.
Could anyone help?
