Hello,
I tried searching for this subject, but didn't quite know what to look for.
So basically I flashed my Arc S (LT18i) with the newest (?) Cyanmod FXP104 for Arc. Most things work just fine, but there are some problems.
Google market says that apps that i could previously use are now incompatible with my "LT15i". I already paid for them, so not being able to use them anymore would be rather sad.
While I'm at it...please excuse another noobish question: After flashing, do I have to change something in the CPU settings? Will it be on Arc's 1GHz after flashing?

I see this is your first post, welcome to XDA.
The market uses your build prop and location to make available apps fpr your device. Looks like your flashing the FXP104 has altered your build prop to state LT15i so the apps previously available to your LT18i have been altered.
I can't answer the processing speed inquiry, sorry.
I have a similar problem after flashing a custmo rom, after that my phone was dead, I taked it from the valley of death phones thru flashtool, but now Pc companion seen it as LT15, and I have only 380 mb of rom and not 1 gb
Thank you for your reply.
After reading a bunch of related stuff, I learned that there has to be a way to change that. Do you know how? Can it be done without having to flash again?
Here's my build.prop for Arc S and FXP104. https://www.box.net/shared/fi8vaa87x3uyikij6le6

You don't have to replace a whole build.prop.
Just open it and change all LT15 to LT18.
And for CPU, you could use performance settings or third party apps like NoFrills, SetCPU, etc.

I solved the problem by flashing my LT18 with wotanserver, in advanced mode I selected LT18i and flashed with version .42 and now my LT18 is again an LT18
I tried that and after reconnecting my Google-Account my mobile is now recognised correctly. Unfortunately that doesn't change the initial problem. Might have something to do with the android version.
I'll just try another ROM. Thank you for your assistance

Hi,
-I want to root my device, so what's the safest way to root it ?
(explain the method here or give me links!)
-and what Rom do u prefer to use in my phone after rooting it ?
(custom rom or stock rom, but all features most work perfectly and the phone should work smooth)
I am running ICS 4.0.3 and My phone is Middle East version & it's important that the rom that I will put in my device fully support (Arabic language) like the original one does!
See attachment to know all the info of my phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601038
Follow this thread and download the zip file, read the on screen instructions and just run the .bat file and you'll have root..
And for the rom, try Arconium ICS or Mooded ICS.. They both support Arabic languages!

Thanks alot gire.prasad for your helpful reply
my phone now rooted successfully!
I am thinking in staying with the orginal stock software (the original SE ICS 4.0.3)
So now I just rooted the device, and I will try to free up the internal memory
note: I was facing some application hanging when I try to use them before rooting the device like :
-Phone
_Contacts
-Xperia Gallery
-Messaging
So will freeing up internal memory space solve this hanging problem ?
Thanks!
Glad you got root!
It wont.. The apps freezing is due to Stock ICS and freeing up internal memory simply doesn't help it.. Tweaking should help a bit or try different rom.. If you prefer stock rom, then try supercharging the rom using V6 SuperCharger script and using that script try to bulletproof those apps you mentioned! It'll help a lot and make the rom even more smoother and faster..
Need some help for doing it?

Hi,
I flashed the JB AOKP Custom ROM on my Xperia Acro S. I love it but I noticed a problem. It didn't come with the google play store app so I got an APK somewhere else. Now Whenever I try to download any application from the market, it says my device is not compatible.
Any ideas guys? Any help will be appreciated..
Thanks.
Try to download gapps.zip ( for JB rom) from xda ( search a little bit), flash zip with cwm and you'll have PlayStore that should work.
Did you change dpi? If your answer is YES then, change it back to original.
I dont't know why, but sometimes that's the answer.

So I just recently flashed my phone with the kernel vengeance 1.32 and when I go to the menu, some apps are missing like xperia gallery smart start, etc. also, when I want to add widgets, the photo album one is gone and a few others.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

I just flashed my LT18i with the same kernel and i had no problems. Did you use the one exactly for your device? since there are a lot with the code names one might get confused. If that isn't the case you might simply have to flash a custom ROM. I did it with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920207 and works great

yeah but the thing is, Im getting bootloop after the sony logo. is there a soilution for it?
Hi guys,
I know this is kinda weird to ask, but i want to make sure that im ready to flash rather than give it a go and bricked my phone for the 2nd time.
Please let me know if im ready to flash this ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2137561

2. I have this kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1761778
3. Unlocked bootloader
Do i need to follow below instruction, cause im using Sony Xperia SL.
ICS 4.0.4, with 6.1.A.2.55
HTML:
Any ROM for S will Work for SL BUT you lose 1.7GH Speed
ROMs for S Can be installed for SL Via Two Ways
Way 1. In ROM zip file Goto HERE: META INF / com / google / android (use 7-zip which can edit without extraction)
Now edit updater-script by deleting first 2 lines (if it has any)
Anything to do with device name and get.prop.*
then close zip file and flash
Way 2. Root your phone
install app which can edit build.prop
change All LT26ii to LT26i
Change Xperia SL to nozomi
Save, Reboot to recovery and follow ROM flashing instruction......

I have read that using XS Rom on XSL makes the XSL a 1.5gig speed like the XS.
This is just what I remember, I could be wrong. Google it, if your worried
From my Xperia LT28at ION
I'm taking over a friends old R800i next week and I'm really looking forward to it since I've wanted one of these since about when it was released.
What I'm looking for is a rom that gives me all the usual stuff - GSM connection, working 3G, wifi, gps, sms, mms, camera - but, will a custom rom give me better performance for emulation?
I want to be able to emulate all kinds of consoles without losing too much performance due to the rom - nor do I want my battery to get drained while the phone isn't in use. I'm of course ready to try a bunch of roms and I have looked at some of the threads, without learning much to be honest. I'm not even up to date with who's roms are the stable ones or which is the highest SE provided rom for Play either.
Looking to emulate N64, nes, PS and sega genesis, mainly.
If you root and debloat the stock rom, you will get excellent gaming performance. I went rom using custom roms and went back to stock as it provided the best performance all around.

Have a quicklist of which items to uninstall? Is there timescape and other such stuff on the Play?
Also, which android version do you use? 2.3.4?

well pizza_dox has a stock debloated of 79 frimware
but i cant find it now
but it had a little bug that its very easy to fix it(problem wasnt little but it was very easy to fix it)
Oh yeq,
It was in my Sig and I forgot to include SEMCSetupWizard which broke the home button...

as i know editing the build.prob without adding the setup wizard again will solve the problem(there is aline about setup wizard in build.prob. but i cant test it now)

Well Pizza_dox is an asshat refusing to answer on relevant questions in the thread he made for "the perfect setup", so I need a reliable source to go after since I have no idea what following the guide he provides will actually do to the phone (and I'm not going to learn by failing, hence why I ask questions which she/he refuses to respond properly to)
Dude sorry... But I might have been bussy and forgot to check the thread...

Please act respectful: PizzaDox has opened many manu threads, and he can't be repling at all of them.
Anyway debloating a rom is simple and can be done by everyone that wants to, by extracting the system.sin from your .79 ftf, dumping its data with flashtool in order to make it a yaffs img, extracting it with a yaffs extractor and then removing the apps located into "app" that you consider as bloat
