Custom Rom

My Dad recently bought this device.
Why still no good custom rom for this phone?
Anything problem with root or bootloader or recovery?
Or
Still no developer to build it?
Look at the dev section, the smart guys are working on it but it don't seems to be an easy nut to crack...

They are trying to Port the CM/MIUI Rom.
I really appreciate that.
What about Custom ROM?
CyanogenMod and MIUI ROMs are custom ROMs.
If you're asking for additional custom ROMs, AFAIK no one has yet done so.
I'm asking about Custom Rom which is made out of Official Rom(Arc Rom).
Because unwanted Application removed,app2sd etc....
So root your dad's device and remove the junk
I think noone released such a ROM because we all want to keep the ability to do updates through OTA.

[Q] Cyanogenmod to Stock ROM

Have been searching for it from many days but am unable to find it!
What I need is going back to Stock ROM from CyanogenMod.
I don't have an arc. It is for my friend. Actually he asked me to root his mobile. But I installed CM in it because I liked CM in my 'Samsung Galaxy ACE'. He accepts that CM is fast but he is asking me to install stock firmware in it. He is saying that he is missing some features like timescape.
Switching ROMS in ARC (even in my ACE) is very simple. But I would like to know how to install Stock ROM over Custom ROMs in ARC. Can I simply use flashtool for it? Or will I end up bricking the mobile?
If at all if I end up bricking his mobile then he may ask my 'Sony Xperia S' that I ordered just few days ago!!! (LOL!)
Damn! Things were very simple in Samsung Phones! But in sony, understanding the terms itself is taking a hell lot of time for me!
Wrong section..should be in Q&A...
You need to download flashtool and flash a generic firmware. JUST SEARCH! THIS QUESTIONS BEEN ASKED A MILLION TIMES BEFORE so you could easily have found the answer before starting this new thread.

[Q] Noob Help....

Hi.
I recently got my Desire HD (changed from Sony Ericsson X10) and am using it legitimately at the moment.
I just have a few questions about rooting that i wasn't able to find elsewhere etc.
1. If i root my phone, and HTC release the ICS update, am i still able to do this?
2. What is the easiest/safest way to root my phone? (2.3.5, Sense 3.0)
3. Is it worth me rooting my phone? (i rooted my SE X10 but that was to over clock it and make it faster but i'm more than happy with the speed of my DHD).
Thank you.

1. If you keep the stock ROM, you are able to upgrade (I think).
2. Search for guides. There are many out there. SuperOneClick may be the easiest one.
3. Yes, you can do so much more than just overclock!
You can always root and flash a custom rom. Problem is when ICS rolls out from your carrier and you revert to stock ROM your phone could potentially revert to be locked to your carrier.

I purchased my DHD in Feb 2011, and kept it stock for a few weeks because I was new to Android and Smart Phones. After getting used to it I Rooted and S-Off which is really simple with the DHD and tried a few roms.
I was forever running Quadrant to see if my score would improve but there was no real point the speed was really very good with only occasionally noticeable lag on when lots of pages were open.
I was on CM7 for the last 6 months or so and found that it recently felt a little laggy and sticky and I have only yesterday made the jump to Ice Cream Sandwhich for the DHD. If you are looking to root be sure to give this rom a try it's really something else forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460820# it's breathed new life into my DHD.
You will find you get a bit better battery life out of a non stock setup too.

3. Yes.

Stay rooted and never use stock roms, custom roms like arhd would have ICS official well before it is released ota to you.

[Q] Which Custom rom for Arc on ICS official with locked bootloader + root + CWM

Hi, hoping someone can help
I have flashed official ICS release to my Arc lt15i, rooted+ installed CWM with flashtool.
My question is which ICS ROM's are now compatible?
Have searched on forums but can only find posts from before the official release saying not compatible due to Kernel, I guess this is not the case now?
Many thanks
Can you place the copy owned by the load in order to try it Thanks

For those looking for a custom ICS rom to work with locked bootloaders i can recommend [ROM][ARC/S]ICS<☆>MooDeD ICS IFT v80.1[xAROMA][HD-Gaming][OTA][Light'Ning Speed}xDuo+ : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526717 . I have installed and it's working, and from what i can tell a lot faster than stock ICS. I wasn't sure if it will work with locked bootloader, but happily it does.
