[Q] Are there CM9 nightlies available for Xperia Arc? Can't find them.

I've been looking around for a friend that is running CM 7.2 stable, he's having some issues with blank SMS screens and the ROM locking up, and just for fun I thought it would be cool to see what kind of shape CM9 is in for that phone. So far I've only found some pretty elaborate custom mods with custom kernels and basebands (I don't want to get into this too deep, since it's not my phone), so basically I'm just wondering if there's a CM9 nightly available somewhere that you can try flashing, and if it's not any good there's always the stable variants to go back to.
Any insight appreciated, including recommendations on other mods that might be better than CM for the Xperia Arc.

Fxp are the cm9 team for Sony I'm new in this forum but not new to xda and this forum is a mess just to find anything you just Hatton really look

I actually found the answer, by going to get.cm and clicking my model (maguro, for GSM nexus) there's cm9 nightlies in the list. The nightlies aren't available from the regular CM website though since Nexus isn't supported yet.

[Q] settings, ROM's and firmware... help and opinions please

Hi,
I just got a nexus yesterday and have a couple questions. I had CM9 on my Galaxy S before i had this so I thought i was familiar with ICS. But I am finding that a lot of the "settings" I loved on CM9 are not available on my new nexus. Such as unlock screen options, notification toggles, ability to remove the persistent search bar, display battery percentage, wifi hotspot, change # of screeens. Is it possible to get those settings back without installing a new ROM or getting individual apps for each item?
And if I need to install a ROM which ones are good (there seems to be a ton of them)? I would be putting this on my wifes phone also, so I would need a ROM that has practically zero bugs. What about the JellyBean ROMs, how are they? Should i wait and see how the official JellyBean firmware looks?
I know i can read a hundred threads about the ROMs, and I will, but my brain is swimming with info right now and I'm hoping you guys -n- gals can help to get me on the right path. Please give me your opinions if you have a minute.
thanks in advance,

For Jelly Bean it's too early. A lot of the tweaks you're used to from CM9 are not yet available in the ROMs I think, at least not the one I'm using right now (bigxie)... If you need those you'll have to wait for CM10 or for the next AOKP, or find the mods you want and flash them manually, but the risk of something going wrong is higher naturally.
If you don't mind staying with ICS for the moment, I can recommend the AOKP Milestone releases. All the tweaks you've mentioned are in there plus the milestones are super-stable! Prior to JB I was running AOKP M5 and it's great!
I'd also recommend to install Franco's kernel (and buy his app on the market to tweak it even more ) as I find that power consumption is a lot better with his kernel. Of course as usual if you need stability, use the stable releases instead of the nightlies.
Hope this helps

I agree with Gunthy, if you want the bells and whistles, go with AOKP and stick with ICS for a bit. JB has some nice new little tweaks, but you its nothing you cant live without. Besides franco's kernel, I really like imoseyon's leankernel.. i find i get the best battery life with it. I don't think its on XDA so you might have to google it and find it on another forum

How to root: Dev section, I recommend the "root from recovery" zip by Team [Name here that i forgot]
What benefits: themes, apps (wifi tether), more customization all around, removing bloatware, just more control over your phone (equivalent to becoming an admin on your desktop when you were a normal user before)
Roms available: All of those are available, check the dev section. The only type that isnt out there yet is Sense, but check often because there are many trying to port that to the S3
Stable roms: not an acceptable question, mods close threads that ask this as its up to you to determine what you will like and what features and option you consider a rom needs in order to be stable.

Thank you so much for take some of your time to answer all my questions, so now Mod can you please close this thread, and again thanks

AOSP and S3

So, I've been lurking around the forums for awhile and trying to find a rom that is simply pure android 110%. Surely, I have found CM10's, AOKP's, KANG, etc etc, however I couldn't seem to find any rom that was just pure ANDROID! No extra mods, themes, etc... Like on a Stock Gnex, so my question being, is there one I am over looking ? I tried googling it to no avail.
Thanks (=
EDIT: Such an idiot, I posted in General instead of Q&A. Could someone move this to Q&A please? x.x

Well my cyanogenmod 10.1 4.2.2 is pretty close. There are the added tweaks but I like them. If you want a true nexus then you better also pull your ext SD card out. That's the only thing keeping me away.

Ya I have to agree that 10.1 is pretty darn close

Paranoid Android is also really close, as is AOKP. They all have tweaks, its just a matter of which set of tweaks you like the most. As mentioned, the only way to get pure aosp is to get a nexus.

is there something in particular you're looking for in a nexus rom or something you're seeing that you dont want? because otherwise, the aosp-based roms that have been named here will generally look exactly like a stock nexus device. i know Faryaab has assembled a SuperNexus rom. i used to run the 4.1 version on my S2 last year, but the S3 one is only for the i9300 variant. dont go trying to flash that. you'll be all set with CM10, AOKP, or any other roms in the original android dev section. cheers

Absolute stock 100% AOSP will be missing quite a few features. Like you, I tried to find the same for a while and realized how watered down the OS is.
That being said, the only pure AOSP is currently for the international variant and won't work on this device. Your only option is to compile it from source yourself, which can be very difficult if you are not a developer.

Recommend Some Skinned ROMs To Try

This isn't a best ROM thread so please don't close it.
What I am looking for is recommendations of ROMs to try that meet certain criteria.
That's different from best ROM right? I couldn't find a good feature comparison matrix to get this info. I just want a list of ROMs to try out
I want a ROM with the following:
Based On 4.3
Skinned/Themed e.g. Custom wallpaper/homescreen setup, maybe custom icon set etc
Best of breed applications
Another way of describing what I am looking for is that when I look at friends with Samsung Galaxy S4 or LG G2 the feel of android on their phones is very different.
Their homescreens are well setup and the cameras have extra features and the galleries look fancy etc.
Mod Edit
I know I could probably get this by searching out all sorts of widgets and launchers and applications to just put on stock myself but I would like to see if there is a ROM that has already done it.
So far I have only tried PAC-Man ROM and was a bit disappointed with it.

Are there ROMs that get close to what I am looking for?

Try CM10TOUCHWIZ for the Sprint Galaxy Nexus. You can flash it to whichever galaxy nexus by using Zittoro's script. It should be here under general discussion.
Touchwiz is Samsung's skin.

Mod Edit
Keep reading through the first pages of the ROMS listed in the dev section.
If it's there,then ,you will see it.
If not, start looking in the Play store for ways to personalize it.
