Questions about Cyanogenmod - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good Evening,
i have interest to flash the CynogenMod on my Arc but i have some questions.
Why Cyanogen dont release the Mod official on their Forums ?
And its a bit misterious that Cyanogen have written that since yesterday
Cyanogenmod will work on the Arc but no official file or official how to or something else on their homepage about the Arc .
And for the Guys who have flashed the FW already .
How is the Batterylife ?
And the Camera have the Exmor R function integrated or is the quality not the same as on Stock Sony Ericsson ?

To answer your first question, the reason you won't find much for the ARC on their forums is because the FXP team is directly responsible for maintaining CM for the xperia series.
Battery life for me is about the same as rooted/cleaned stock firmware, possibly better since there's barely anything running the background and everything is very light.
I can't comment on the camera too much since I haven't tested it directly, but I believe the only difference is the UI.

it would be interesting to see some screenshots
or a video running cm7 on Arc

good idea ... if some body can do it and tell more abt bug that exist in mc7 for arc
thx lot

nobody post screenshots or video

I'm also a bit hesitant flashing to CM7 due to some disadvantages against the stock ROM. A video citing out those bugs at the same time the advantages would be very helpful.

cm7 feels good on arc its lightning fast than stock has better battery life, wide range of customization and tweaks.
.hdmi not supported, camera flash not working properly at night flash works during focusing but not while taking photos so photo turns out dark..on some camera modes it crashes
lack of bravia engine and xloud feature from stock is disappointing and difference is noticeable
equalizer settings needs to be tuned for clear sound (bass boost,presets,virtual effect, etc) which takes some time
adw crashes sometimes.. many more bugs still testing..
overall cm7 is gud for who are bored of stock for a change, lot of bugs needs to be fixed yet
anyone going to flash cm7 make sure you backup all files required to restore back to stock sony if in case.... i`m having hard time finding those

[April 1st]Gingerbread Sense w/ 720p Recording & WiFi Calling[Kernel:CMYLXGO af1]

DO NOT PM ME ASKING QUESTIONS. ALL QUESTIONS SHOULD BE ASKED IN THIS SUPPORT THREAD.
If you do so you will be ignored!
This ROM is perfect in every way. Everything works and will be the last ROM you will ever flash. It has all the T-Mobile apps included. You would be A Fool if you flashed this rom. I have implemented a new compression algorythm that has compressed the image by 53%. This technique has also increased the speed by 45% and has been confirmed with quadrant. This is a Win Win for both LEO515 and LEO1024 users. If you are not T-Mobile everything should work for you, however, this ROM was optimized for T-Mobile.
Everything is loaded into NAND. This ROM is not squashed and is ment to be super fast for LEO1024 owners. There have been reports of 1ma current draw in standby with this ROM. So not only is it fast, it also makes love to your battery slowly.

[Q] Help - Not sure which ROM to go for ?!

Hi guys im a new android user - about a week old now.
I recently flashed to Lite'ning coz people are talking about it and i guess its popular.
Im not happy with the icons and blue/black theme that comes with it.
Which ROM should I go for if i want to achieve the below theme? I have read a few good ones VillainROM / LeoMar ? What are your suggestions?

the very last image looks like Launcher Pro. The lock screen could be done with Widget Locker. Not sure about the first two home screens.
I'm running SensioN ROM currently. Happy with the way it looks, performs. Battery life seems better than stock, also.
I'm personally using VillainROM, and it's great. I love it, and would recommend it.
However, I'm also planning to check out Cognition 1.32 when it comes out.
Hi, I'm not sure from which Rom/themes those icons are..I was also from Villain to Litening, great Roms but now on Leomar since the last 2 days..more customizations available and many themes/options you can choose from the kitchen app! Easy to try it..just download the Revolution app from the market (link also provided from the Leomar sub forum)
then just download the rom from there..make sure you have back up your device using CWM first as this is a wipe ROM...good luck!
The latest MIUI Tom is fast, stable and extremely pleasing on the eye.
With base MIUI you get the best of Android mixed with the best of ios, clean and easy to use.
If you want it more Android do as I do and run ADWex or Launcher Pro on top.... makes for the best user experience in my opinion. I have tried many custom ROMS but keep coming back to MIUI.

The first two pictures are from MIUI.
Not sure about the last one, but guess it could be done by applying custom theme and launcher.
ROM.Batista70_3.5_By_SnakeS( which seems to be removed from xda) + Kernel.ninphetamine-2.0.5
Good battery life and nice to look at.
I'm using LeoMar's ROM as his ROM Kitchen gives you plenty of customisations options to choose from. It's like building a ROM the way you want it. I use MIUI from time to time - The most recent update has gotten ALOT better.
I suggest Leo's rom. Super battery life and great performance.

you think xperia arc s ics upgrade will add instant camera shoot from standy??

like the new xperia s when you press the camera button from standby,
you think its software or hardware?
Maybe it can be included in a custom rom but in my opinion it's not really useful.
im not quite sure for this .i think this is software ,because we can use Power button to restart the phone
Obviously it is a software work up !!!
Software
This is software.
any camera improvement in ICS
I want to know if there is any camera improvement in ICS. I mean if the drivers for camera have been updated to create better quality pictures (lower compression rate).
Thanks in advance!

not useful? most impressive feature i saw in a phone to date i think!
well if it is software do you think sony will just add it? or we'll have to wait for the developers to add it?
my white xperia arc s with instant shoot camera... from a great phone camera it will become an amazing phone camera !! [=
Why don't we simply make an official petition to KalleD (sony developer) to include this function in the next arc s release???Here's the official ICS beta thread opened by KalleD...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513172
I suggest to try their beta and compile this survey asking for this function
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/L2GLNHH
or to write a post in that thread.I've already compliled the survey asking for this function,hope you will do the same.
I think Sony is getting ready to release the ICS update in these days, because the update to .62 isnt available anymore (OTA)
You can get to the camera from the lockscreen. If you press home or power key in ICS beta, then press camera button without unlocking the phone, you go the camera too, or just move the slider to the left.

@sdk16420 so does this mean you now have to unlock the phone and go to settings (or a widget) to turn on silent?
I think sony could implement the camera key activating the camera on the arc, because the button is already quite awkward to press, so it wouldn't be caused my accidental presses in the pocket. But I'm guessing they wont as to keep the Xperia S having a feature worth upgrading too...
No you can hold the power button from the lockscreen to access the sound settings.

[Q] Need Stability!!

Over the past three weeks Have been trying assortment of roms. Dont like the look and feel of TW. I like the abilities of CM because i can shut of the phantom menu, but i have been getting wakelocks and LOS and the rotation is slow or doesnt even work. especially after hanging up calls.
I would just like a recomendation for a stable ROM with no LOS and customizable. Battery i know depends on the phone so i wont even ask.
Or even fixes for those problems. I am currently on CM 10.1rc2 build date 9/18
Have you tried some of the themed TouchWiz ROMs? That's where you're gonna get stability... Here's my latest if you dare to try it mwahaha (mad scientist laugh)-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320041.. I've got a 4.3 AOSP version on there too but I wouldn't recommend that for stability.

Pretty much, check out the huge features list in Post #1
Looks very nice. the launcher seems very comparable to apex launcher. love to gesture to get to things. ill add some high contrast icons, because i work outside and need to see. Thank you. will report back after i give it a whirl. in case somebody else has the same question.
Really loving rom. Have question about unlock screen. I changed it to aosp but I can't find any where to change the targets..and thanks for the inverted play store. Have the app.but I always screw up installation and give up.I always search, hence only 10 posts in over 2 years
Can't change targets.

Do AOSP roms have any issues like they had at LG G3?

Hi,
when I had a LG G3, i tried AOSP roms and they had many problems with camera: 4k & 120fps not working, picture quality wasnt that good, RAW not available. The audio recordings and telephone had catastrophic quality (sounded like 32 kbit/s or so). And i guess some other problems too, which i don't remember.
Do the LG G4 have the same issues using AOSP roms?
Thanks
bagbag
The camera quality on AOSP/CM based Roms will never be that good than on stock roms due to missing drivers. This is the same on the G4, though the pictures taken on an AOSP rom are still good in my opinion. And all in all, AOSP roms run very well I think on our G4.
Good, if it mostly works well, i gonna try it.
Thank you
AOSP roms will never ever be as good as the stock at some specific things due to locked out code and drivers. Camera is one of the examples. AOSP based roms still run good but I can't yet fully judge CM13 because it is still under development and has its issues for now. When they finish it I will try again. You can also try some stock based roms. For now they run better than AOSP based roms.
Yeah, I'm aware of that they will never be as good in certain things, but the microphone quality at LG G3 was terrible - recordings were unusable.
At the moment I'm using Imperium Rom and I'm actually happy with it. But I still like the vanilla Android design way more.
Some saying the camera isn't that good but i think its actually pretty damn good for a phone,
Heres an image i took on my phone while using resurrection remix

Indeed, it looks good - as long as you dont zoom a bit. Without zooming they also looked good at G3, but if you zoomed at full resolution, it was worse than using stock.
Do AOSP roms support RAW? (you could test that with FreeDCam - Play Store | FreeDCam - Github)
Whats about audio quality? As far as I remember that was the worst of all problems.
