SGS2 = dualcore
ARC /S = singlecore
SGS2 have better GPU
Offcourse it's faster.

If you have stock start tweaking mate ...

yes i know it wont be as fast as my gs2 but it is very slow refreshing ,
i am really pulling my hair out at the moment,i have unlocked bootloader,rooted and i think installed CWM even though i cant find or know how to boot into it !
can someone PLEASE tell me how to flash a custom rom please..

If you've flash the boot.Ingram file, then copy the rom zip file you want to the SD card, turn on the phone and press the volume keys til you get the CM options, install the zip.

thanks,when you say sd card do you mean the external one,because i cant see any internal like i used to on gs2 [i thought that root would allow you to see the root of the phone? so turn on the phone while holding the up or the down volume key ?
if i do not see CWM then its probably not installed so i will have to search how to install it .thanks again

There is no internal SD in the arc.
Yeah, turning on I actually press volume up and down repeatedly, not sure if that's right, but it works.

CYANOGENMOD on arc

Didnt workd for me

THX!
Thank you for this thread!
First of all, I want to say thank you to FreeXperia team and Cyanogenmod!
This release is amazing! Yesterday, I have unlocked the bootloader and install CM7 to my Arc. Followed the guide step by step. And EVERY things are working perfectly. Read about some post in development section about "bugs". I would like to say everyone -who hasn't got gsm signal, vibration, etc- FOLLOW THE GUIDE!
This is the perfect way, I think:
1. Install 4.0.A.2.368 with flashtool(this is MUST!!!)
2. copy the update and gapps zip to sdcard
3. enter fastboot mode on phone(indicated by blue led)
4. open CMD(with administrator permission)
5. Flash the cm kernel( fastboot flash boot boot.img)
6. enter cwm recovery(press several times the volume down key during boot)
7. choose apply update from sdcard and select rom
8. choose apply update from sdcard and select GAPPS
9. wipe device
10. reboot
Maybe it will help for beginners like me.
Thank you..if I want to go back to se stock rom what should I do?
Can I also do a nandroid backup of my se rom and restore it?How?
What about the warranty if I unlock and ther relock the booloader?
isn't there a way to make it work on 4.0.1 fw??
Will it work only on stock 4.0.A2 or 4.0.1 also supported

In CM7 Thread in Development Section??
I tried this one too, ended up with a broken Arc
Now my phone has the 0% battery issue, it's unusable.
Ill have to look for another phone I guess...
I followed the steps exactly and all went fine.
I installed all my apps last evening and no battery issues whatsoever.
But then I plugged it in to recharge it, and this morning it went nuts and gave the 0% battery problem.
No idea what caused it, my guess is it was somehow triggered by my charger.
Did you try to take out the battery for a while?
How does the cam work on CM7?
As good as with SE's firmware?

I have to disagree on that one, I like the UI and it is taking pictures just fine.
The only thing is its focus, it will only focus when you press the button not in normal view as what the stock camera app does.
And you can always use a market app like vignette for it, but its all personal of course

Please help!!! Phone keeps restarting

I'm new to this phone stuff and I tried downloading Valhalla v1.3 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1203591 from recovery mode and my phone rebooted, and now it keeps restarting over and over. I have access to download and recovery mode only. I don't know any ROM or flash business so please help.
I just realized that i tried to download a galaxy 4g theme on my tmobile galaxy s2
if you did a nand back up and your able to go to the recovery mode flash your back up image in other terms if you backed up your rom do a restore.
if its still booting u have a chance to save it

boot into recovery, plug your phone in with your usb cable to your computer, under recovery go to mounts and storage, select mount usb storage, once your compter detects it, drag and drop the rom to the root of your sd, go back disconect the phone, go advance reboot recovery, and now wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik, install zip from sd card and select the rom

My sdcard's memory is too low lol. But got one coming in with 8 gb. So i'll try it with that.
Can you tell me the difference between a brick and boot loop?

A brick does nothing, just lies there ...
Bootloop starts to boot then restarts , hence the loop part ...
When you say your SD card memory is low, you mean your external SD?? Why not delete something to get the rom on it ... Should be able to put it in a PC and remove something , if you are talking about your external ...
IF you can get to download mode, find the Stock ODIN flash for t989, and follow the directions, ODIN does not care how full your SD card is ...
Ahh, ok. Then yeah, I'm in a boot loop . It's only a 120 mb external SD. Even the stock ROM won't fit there lol.

It is safe to delete everything on sdcard. I just did it and flash a ROM. And all the files needed created automatically.

Just remember, prepare everything you'll need (kernel, ROM...) on your PC.
First make a little test - go in to recovery, connect your phone to PC and mount usb.
If you can copy from PC to phone then format all, copy kernel with recovery, flash kernel THEN RESTART and flash ROM.
It's easier and safer then trying to flash boot.img.
It's good way to clean your card
I do it and boot is faster

I wouldn't format sd card, though. Too much job, some say they have problems after... Just clear data..

Don't know why they had problems?
I did it twice and had no problems at all.
But first be sure you could mount your usb from recovery or you have drivers on your pc.
If you don't have drivers, you can't go in to fastboot, or if you can't mount usb from recovery - then you are in deep sh*t.
IMPORTANT - prepare all files, double check recovery (mounting, try to copy one file) or drivers on pc and, if you are using method with recovery, after formatting (data, cache, system, sdcard) DO NOT RESTART, first flash kernel, restart to recovery, flash ROM.
If you using XS for a long time, flashing, installing and torching you XS, after some time you'll have tones of craps on your card and it'll slow down reading (from memory).
My experience is - it's easy and it's not dangerous - if you know what are you doing.
If you don't understand even a word of instruction - don't do that, that could cause many problems and you could end up with broken/bricked XS.

Xperia play deleted software

Hello,
I have a xperia play and lupus and a custom rom on it but i was in the Lupus system checking around and i accidently deleted everything on my phone. Now it doesnt have a operating system and my PC wont reconize my Xperia Play.
It can boot but keeps hanging on the Lupus icon and then shuts off and i see the Lupus icon again.
Someone help me i feel real dumb!
Its shows a blue LED on the top corner.
Does Lupus have a recovery built in? When I did a similar thing with doomkernel, I was able to get into advanced CWM (which was built in to the kernel) and could therefore restore a backup

Im in the boot menu of Lupus, i also heard a USB noise and in the Flasher it shows device connected with USB debugging off
Are you using lupus gb or jb? If its gb then press back when blue led comes on and you'll get into recovery choice menu. Choose the first one and use volume buttons to navigate and home button to choose. Go to mounts and storage and click mount usb storage while your phone is connected to cpu. Put a gb rom on your SD card and install it with cwm. If you have the pics or jb version do the same thing but with an ice or jb from and for lupus jb you need to press volume down to get into recovery.
