[Q] Few questions about ARC S roms, rooting and in general - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First of all, im new on these forums, so hello everyone
I have experience rooting, custom rom'ing and such from my Samsung Spica i5700, but dealing with ARC S roms and unlocking seems to be a whole different world!
So, the .62 update hit me, and ofcourse without reading XDA, I updated my -only- rooted phone. Now I have the bloatware back and cannot root, blasphemy!
So I thought about unlocking the bootloader, there comes the first question
- Does the automatic root kit (DoomLords thread, v4 by now) work with .62 that has had i'ts bootloader unlocked (he mentioned it DOES NOT work with stock .62)? If it does not, which tutorial or tool should I use? Ive seen Flashtool being used, and something about flashing whole new stock roms?
Now also, I am a big fan of custom roms - but the default rom of ARC S has some great things I've noticed and use alot, so I would love to keep those. As I was looking into Arconium 6.1 rom (nearly perfect it says!), I would love to know if it has the following things still available
- Sim Toolkit, known also as STK. Because in my country we have Mobile ID cards integrated into SIM cards, so basically I can use my phone to prove my identity and give digital signatures wherever I go. This is a must have for me.
- The phone has Sony Ericsson menu under Settings. Under there, I can connect my phone to my PC over WiFI (if it has PC companion installed) - I love this feature as I dont have to connect the cable, or mess about with slow Bluetooth speeds. Does the Arconium have this capability?
The stock rom is good enough, atleast for the moment, but I love getting more out of my device. Although if it means losing those two features, I will probably stay with stock rom, and just try to root it, and remove all the bloatware.
I have been reading the forums, but lot of different threads, and they all tend to say some different things. Confusing to say the least! Also tried searching the Arconium thread about SimToolkit, only had some questions about version 3. So again, no info there.
If any of you could give me any insight into these matters, would be very lovely. Would save alot of time by not installing Roms and such that do not even suit the needs.
Once again, thank you in front for all the help
Best wishes,
Erki

No, it only works until .62 firmware (e.g .42 & .58 firmware).
Search a little about how to root .62 firmware.
Or you could downgrade to .42 firmware using Flashtool and root.

V6 Supercharger would be also great if you only want to root and remove all bloatware.

Definitly try arconium 6.1, it's awesome and super fast

Cheers to the both of you. Cleared up my questions nicely.
I shall try out the Arconium.
But the kernels - lot of people using DoomKernel, and then the one dp94 mentioned V6 Supercharger. Benefits - downsides to both of them? Dont care much for overclocking, because the performance of 1.4 Ghz single core is more enough for me (atleast for the time being). Would love better batterly life and/or performance without overclocking.
As far as I understand, the best way to do things is unlock bootloader, root, install CWM on phone, then let it install the CWM recovery, and from there just apply the custom roms?

V6 Supercharger is a script, not a kernel.
You should definitely try DooMKernel. It's the best combination of battery life (recommend to try -36 baseband) and perfomance.
And you have to flash kernels using fastboot.

Thanks again
After looking for ways to root .62, and not finding anything - I felt like an idiot.
Then suddenly I realized what I had read about Doomkernel - it does root and CWM automatically!
Now running DoomKernel and Arconium
Would love to run CMmod, but as far as I can see, it is still missing HDMI and FM.
Cheers for all the help mate

Yes, that's correct.
Atm, these features are only working with stock based ROMs.

[Q] GB vs GB root vs ICS

Hello,
Had a quick question for anyone willing to give me a bit of feedback. I've been thinking about rooting my Xperia Play. I'm hesitant only because I don't want to get it if the functionality of ICS will be much of an improvement, if at all.
Should I stay with Gingerbread and wait to upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich or should I root now and wait till the root for ICS is available in the future? I've been reading the forums here and found plenty of people trying the Beta ICS and it seems like it depends on the person whether they are fond of it or not. I'm certainly not wanting to Beta test ICS.
I'm looking for a kick in the right direction. I mean, I know I can unroot the phone if necessary I've seen forums about such, but it seems like an ordeal to root and then just to undo the root and I can tend to be a bit lazy. So should I stick with plain Gingerbread, wait to upgrade to ICS, or go and root my phone for the boost now in terms of power?
I use my Xperia Play as a phone, emulator, music player, and for general apps. Basically, just general recreation and it can certainly feel slow when just pulling up my texts on my phone. Let me know what you think is best.
Why would you need to unroot to upgrade to ICS? Just root now and upgrade when ICS is stable
An ordeal to root? The rooting methods are 1-click, it couldn't be easier

Exactly bro! Root on gb will beunrooted if you upgrade to ics. I thnk you mess up infos about rooting and unlocking bootloader.

If you use DoomKernel with either the Official Sony Beta ICS or KA12 ICS beta roms you have Root.... if you flash KA12 it auto roots on install.....just FYI

Don't think one click rooting methods are available if he is on the latest firmware..
correct me, if im wrong..
Gonna comment to the OP's question about the speed difference as someone who has now tried (1) the standard GB rom (on verizon, so 2.3.3), (2) a super-fast GB replacement (Cola), (3) the Sony stock ICS beta, as well as (4) a custom rom based on the ICS beta....
IMO aside from a couple of very specific cases (email on GB releases really slowing the phone down when connected to Exchange ActiveSync, for one), no version of ICS will ever be able to match the speed of GB on this phone. I'm sure that some custom ICS roms will be great, but a custom GB rom built for speed will still be able to win in the end.
I could not help but upgrade to ICS lol, My boot loader has been unlocked since the day I bought it but when the Beta was released and they made progress on it (WiFi, and stuff) I just could not help myself , Once you remove bloatware its really stable and smooth.

[Q]ARC S battery drains fast problem after rooting

Hello guys, just want to ask for your recommendation.
I have SE Arc S firmware official 4.0.4 with locked bootloader
After I root my phone (flash 4.0.3 kernel then used doomlords rooting tools then flash again 4.0.4 kernel)
I notice that after I notice that for every 1 hour it drains 5% of the battery in SLEEP MODE(yes i did'nt do touch my phone for 1 hour then it lost 5%)
Also when I play some games like gamevoid pokemon flora sky, it drains so fast I play 1 hour and it lost about 25%+ .
I already searched for possible fix for this here in the forum but no luck. Since I only find some kernels and I don't know if it works with locked BL.
I really appreciate is someone expert can help me on this.
Note: I also tried removing bloat apps so far no improvement.
change the karnel buy exeted battry
rooting is not he ultimate solution to all android problems...u need to installl custom roms and kernels as well....ice cream pureness rom with stock ernel gives me a battery drain as low as 0.7% per hour...while acronium 4 with doomkernel gives me as low as 0.3% per hour......
and why dont you unlock your bootloader, it can always be relocked again and you can claim your warranty....
ICS pureness?
Thanks Link-in,
I do checked the ICS pureness Rom. is it available for locked bootloader?
well regarding unlocking, Im a bit hesitant doing it because my Arc S is only 2months old. And I don't have any experience unlocking any phone yet.
you dont need any xperiance for unlocking the bootloder...everything is done on official sony website......in fact, i would describe it as even easier than rooting.....just go over here http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ and follow the steps.....and check this out for relocking (it gives you back your warranty) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324703........dont worry about any thing and just do it....
if you dont, you know that you will always have to keep on asking whether a particular rom is compatuble with your locked bootloader .and even a single fatal mistake will take your phone forever...
instaed of just thanking, could you plz. hit the thanks button(it helps a lot)
thanks button pressed.
anyway Im thinking to unlock my BL. but what is the recommended ROM for ICS? is there a 4.0.4 custom rom?
Im searching here in XDA but they are not clearly based on 4.0.4. its just 4.0.3 I think.
doomkernel looks good. i'll try it once i unlocked my BL
use stock rom or arc knight

About 80% of the custom roms are rebased to 4.0.4....and it depend on what type of rom you want for your daily use
Acronium 4 gives battery efficiency
Jj's hybrid gives superb looks
Cm7 and cm 9 give superb stability
And you need to check if doom kernel is compatible with a particular type of rom.....it is not suitable for cm's....but with that, you can overclock the other two roms
flash a stock kernel

Suggestions Please

Ok. So it seems that the .587 ICS is hawt and i was thinking of upgrading to it from GB...
But could you please answer a few things-
1. Is it worth upgrading?
2. Why should i?
3. By removing all junk apps will it be smooth as GB (My friend's lagged alot)
I'll try to answer your questions:
1. It depends whether you want the new features that ICS offers. If you don't use you phone that much and like the speed it offers then stick with GB. Personally, I use the features. (And I like to have the latest software on everything I own, it doesn't matter if it slows it down or not :laugh
Here's a list of some of the features that ICS offers. http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/t...eatures-android-4-0-ice-cream-sandwich-118969.
http://www.android.com/about/ice-cream-sandwich/
Some of these can't be used on the arc because of no front facing camera or NFC
2. Think I answered two questions together ^. But all in all if you would use the newer features, and don't mind compromising speed. Also you will be able to install of the the newer xperia S apk's. More of the dev's are only working on ICS ROM's now.
3. Simply, no. It won't be as fast, even with all of the bloat removed. Some of the custom roms do get close, but they will still use more RAM than GB
Hope I helped. If you want, I'll try to explain some more :good:

okkk thnx but then am really confused. should i. should i not...
tel me one thing. if i update it to ICS can i go back to GB by just normal flashing process?
Your choice
FIRST ICS was meant to run properly on devices with ram greater than 512mb. With only 512mb of ram it can only hold the necessary system applications of ANDROID. SO while running ICS on arc it RUNS SMOOTHLY FIRST but afterwards the apps get CACHED it starts lagging
REALLY LIKE HELL (with only 100-150mb ram gets left what do you expect its PERFORMANCE).SO i don't think that there is any possibility of running ICS smoothly forever on ARC.
JELLY BEAN on the other hand will also be requiring HIGH SPEC DEVICES..SO don't expect it also run without any lag on arc.
I don't know why SONY ERICSSON only put 512mb of ram in all it's 2011 xperia devices while also assuring to RUN OUT THE ICS UPDATE knowing the fact that ICS requires a higher RAM value.
I like the INTERFACE of ICS but to use it on the ARC IS TO GIVE UP the speed and performance.I used it for a month(tried every ics and cm9 rom)
but was too too UPSET. SO gone back to the GINGER BREAD ROM(it's best for the xperia arc).
TO USE ICS SMOOTHLY I SUGGEST TO BUY ANOTHER DEVICE WITH HIGH END SPECS.
SECOND IF you really want a beautiful experience(WITH LAG) of the interface(FOR A LITTLE WHILE) in lieu of the OVERALL SYSTEM PERFORMANCE then please UPDATE TO ICS.
BUT if you want to have a better experience(WITHOUT ANY LAG) with all of the phone's feature THEN STAY WITH THE GB.
I have tried almost every ICS ROM for the ARC and almost every ROM HAS A LAG(in the beginning it doesn't come into action but after some time when caching of system applications start it's the most HORRIBLE experience with the phone and sometimes you can't even use your phone for call or messaging (LIKE IT'S LAGGING LIKE HEELLL) )
SO it's upto you..what i think
I AM BACK TO GB FROM ICS
REST IS YOUR CHOICE
**I COPIED THIS FROM MY EARLIER POST FROM THE SIMILAR TOPICS..SO DON'T MIND IF THE POINTS ARE REPEATED
plz hit thanks if i helped

First thing, Brilliant explanation from amankumar2508007. Couldn't have put it better myself! :good:
Right, onto your question. Yeah, you can just use the normal flashing process with flashtool. If you do decide to give ICS a try, wipe everything. Apps and other files will conflict with each other and slow the phone down even more. If you need any help, just ask me. I'll do the best I can to help

I meant the wipe files in flashtool. That gets rid of everything. You should do that every time you switch from GB or ICS. No need to wipe in CWM.
What i meant by the apps is that some are the GB version. Also some of the apps really slow ICS down. It's better just to start from fresh.

so one last time il ask
il download generic india ics .587 (good??) and flash it (selecting wipe).. this will put ics on my phone (clean version)
later if i dont like it i will flash gb .62 generic global wit WIPE option ticked.. this wil get me back to a fresh official gb fw.. right?
Yep that's right mate.
Please don't take my last post the wrong way, I didn't mean it like that. I was just trying to keep it as simple as I could

[Q] Speedy Rom for Arc S (Lt18i) locked bootloader

Hi Guys,
I am running the .62 official rom and looking for a bloat/crap free ROM to use with my Arc-S. It is a bootloader locked and cannot be unlocked so I need a working rom.
ICS is too slow for me. I can install CWM with x-parts so that works, I have installed some custom ICS roms from CWM backup zips and it works but I can't find any for the GB.
I am hoping for a very rustic base rom with no crap installed. I found a few like X-Gamer but they require the .42 official rom first and I cannot find any working link for it.
Hoping someone can help, I have done quite a bit of searching and really looking to put an end to this journey!

Have you tried Xperia ultimate hd by jader? Its not bad. It has aroma installer, so u can unselect those crappy apps.

1. You're not allowed to create threads that ask for fastest ROM, or "speedy ROM" as you put it. Please change thread title or a mod will close your thread.
2. Since you're on locked bootloader, you have no choice but to stick with stock based custom ROM. UHD is one good example. However, if it doesn't suit you, you will have to find out for yourself. None of the users or the developers can help you here since you're the one using the phone.

ICS consumes more battery as a base ROM as compared to GB since it uses more resources and has more functions. Please do not give wrong information. The few ways to help ICS save battery are ROM tweaks, kernel tweaks and basic knowledge about maintaining your ROM to make it less power hungry.
If he prefers performance over functionality, GB will be a better choice for him.

Each ROM has it's pros and cons so you can't say for sure which ROM works best. Of course if you feel that it works fine, I have nothing to say since it's your phone.

Doesn't mean he cannot flash custom ROM. As long as the custom ROM is stock based and uses stock kernel he can flash it with no problems. He can easily use X-Parts to install recovery, flash any stock based custom ROM and use it. Locked bootloader does not allow unsigned kernel(a.k.a any custom kernel) to be flashed on the phone since only Sony can sign the kernels.

[Q] Best-ish Sony Stock ICS

Hi,
I`m planing to downgrade to an official Sony Stock ICS ROM (& and strip the bloatware) to get all the features working (HDMI). I was planing to pair the stock sony ICS with a kernel like Lupus. Before doing this however I wanted to ask if anyone has a recomendation on which Stock ICS version to get because I remember reading that one of those was a major flaw.
Additionally I'd like to know if anyone has/did run stock ICS+custom kernel and could share his experience with speed/smoothness and such, because I remember running the LT18i_4.1.B.0.587 firmware before rooting my device some years ago and the whole system was so laggy ... which lead me to try custom ROMs first and evetually unlock the bootloeader and go for custom Kernels later.
Any other recomendations are welcome.

I believe the newest is the best you can get, which is 4.1.B.0.587. You can also try 4.1.B.1.13, but it is a branded firmware and may have some additional bloatware installed in it.
Thanks. I remember 4.1.B.0.587 was really laggy when running on stock "everything". I'll try it and see if I can get it running smoothly with a custom kernel...

Even with a custom kernel, stock 4.1.B.0.587 will still lag a lot because of all the bloatware Sony added inside.
