i am using Acronium 7.1 , Battery drains very quickly,
I use data 2G all time.

Same here...now using arconium 7.2 w/ doomkernel v19 baseband 58...drains batt quickly T_T

I tried them all,ics beta,team,arconium,miui etc.
Stock rom .62 with root/removed bloatware/doom v19 is still for me the best.
A bit undervolting and stockspeeds [ 1.4 Ghz Arc s ]
All other roms draining with 3g.
No issues with wathever,good batterylife etc etc.

I'm using the ROM of SE.Tweaked (v1.0), works fine and smooth. No issues and good battery life, much better than the original rom.

Arconium 7.2 is simply a beautiful rom for arc/arc s.
For the people with battery problem..flash the stock .283 kernel along with .36/.64 baseband.
With this config,i need to charge my phone for once in two days [full charge]
I alsoi have superchargerV6 and link2sd for lag-free performance and free internal memory
Disadvantages:
This kernel doesnt support overclocking/undervolting and many other features which doomkernel possesses

I think there's a DooMKernel on .283

Yes it does.. v11
But i haven't tried that.

Seconded stock with doomkernel is best for me. Don’t see any differences between stock, arconium or se tweaked so dont see the point of them. As for the other roms something always seems to be broken or other problems such as battery drain issues and other bugs.

arcS lagging after installing ICS

Hello everyone..I've recently bought this new xperia arcS and Installed ICS using update centre...the phone was working really great before the updgrade..there was no lag..but..after installing ics...it has started to lag a lot..i can hardly play games like temple run without any lag....I'm still a noob in android..what should I do now?would be really grateful if you give me suggestions..thanks

It's a problem with sony's ics. You can't do much.
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app

ics really sucks.....in order to improve your phone, install a custom kernel and then a custom rom...(best setup..doomkernel v22 with jj's hybrid)
or revert back to gb(what i have done) and install doomkernel and acronium 4 for a superb performance

[Q] disadvantages of updating xperia arc s to ICS

hey guyz,

thank u.....

Well stock ICS is pretty bad and laggy so you can look for custom roms like CM... Sony didn't make a very good ICS update even though they released it early. I recommend custom roms However if you want to keep your BL locked, there are roms that are for you too just search and you shall find

I'm assuming your phone's bootloader is locked (which is normal), so here's 2 roms that are pretty popular, based on ics, and makes your phone run like dual core
Jelly Sandwhich
Xperia Ultimate HD

Don't listen to these helmets bad advice stock 587 is great. Stay clear of supercharger it will cause a tonne of lag on ics.

I don't know how you use your phone or what you do to it but for me CM is soooo much better than any version of stock ROM especially since it's based on JB

My opinion is upgrade to ics and install Potomac custom rom

I agree with lofty, the stock ICS .587 is working great. Very stable and everything works 100%. My own experience with custom roms and super duper extremely fast scripts is also that they create more problems and makes your phone unstable or cause other unexepected behaviors.
It is an "old" phone with single core and no super scripts or custom roms will make up for the single core and low memory. And yet it is my preffered phone on .587 even compared to my wifes experia S.

I have no issues with the stock rom. I updated andreo libs (gpu drivers)
Now the rom is even more faster

Just like TheHaso, I am using stock ICS rom and tweaked it a bit... It works perfectly. Have a look at my signature

It is not as smooth as GB for me. Fairly laggier, do you guys agree?

+1, had been using stock Ics and custom roms for sometime then back to arconium gb. It's still the best rom for my arc S.

I'm using 587 fw on my Neo and is running very smooth ( almost like GB) but it is almost unusable for hard games. But i'm not using it for gaming, i'm using it more for media, and with the latest apps from Xperia T, is awesome. So if you want to use it more for gaming, stay with Gingerbread, otherwise upgrade to ICS because IMO is way better than Gingerbread. BTW, i've tried almost every custom rom, and always i've returned to stock, because it's simply the best.

Stock ICS .587 is excellent. There are a lot more features in it than in GB, I didn't notice any speed difference between GB and ICS other than the Google voice search and Recent apps (hold menu button) take a bit longer to start up the first time (they are quick after that).
I would recommend rooting ICS using this guide: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119?start=0&tstart=0
Rooting will allow you to run an app from the Play Store which can uninstall those pesky bloatware apps.
And if you suppercharge ICS it's even better - even if you only supercharge 50%!!!!

It's laggy thanks to bloatware and not being fully optimized. Custom ROMs and/or tweaking at your own will remove lag problem!

Hmm not really. Maybe in some games... Just root, de-bloatware, update adreno libs and install supremacy script, and the GB smoothness is there

Stock ICS is ram hungry and not meant for phones like arc s lacks.

[Q] [PRO] Which rom and kernel do you recommend ?

I want to install a ROM which has the best customization options of the UI and a kernel which has the best performance.
Currently I'm on Xperia Ultimate HD rom with Ultima ICS kernel.
Was that the best choice ?

Does anyone know if it's possible to have the Stock Sony ICS and have the GB wifi module flashed to it? I'm asking because when I updated my mk16a I lost the Access Point functionality and it is very important for me to have it. I really love ICS but I had to go back to GB because of this issue. Thanks in adavnce!

in fact, is the kernel for arc /s work on xperia pro?

[Q] Locked bootloader roms

I'm currently running on stock kernel android version 2.3.4 and my bootloader is locked
rom is gin2jellybean
Where can i find other compatible roms that i could flash using Cwm5

Most stock based GB ROMs are compatible with locked boot loaders. Just look at it this way if it doesn't require a new kernel, its compatible unless it says its not for your model I.e. you have a r800i and its for a r800x. Also some ICS ROMs now work on stock kernel..

ahh ok thanks! but are there any ICS or JB roms that doesn't require a custom kernel?
I shall try to search for it myself too :

Why don't you just unlock your boot loader? Quick and easy. If you need a guide,they're all over the place. But I don't think there's a stock JB for stock kernel, but there is for ics

With a locked bootloader your only asking for problems for your device.

Mmmmmmmm?????!!! A name will be usefull, he's new here and i think he don't want a bricked phone after the first week here.
Well i have a locked bootloader and i tryed all stock based gingerbread roms here... well, for me the best roms are XPERIA NXT 1.3 by Krisdee, it's very stable, smooth and very good NXT look; AURORA PLAY by spizzy01, beautyfull and very nice graphics with his adreno booster mod, games almost no lags; and NXT2JELLYBEAN by sewer56lol, the fastest rom here, very light, plenty of ram and very very good sound with headphones. :good:
But it's just IMO, the performance and stability may be diferent in diferents devices...
