Hi everyone, I refleshed to 4.0.2.A.42 from .62 and did everything so that I would install any custom rom later. I rooted it and installed CWM which works 100% perfect. But the problem is I don't know which custom rom I should install, please advice anything, hope it helps others too.

Actually most of the roms are based on .62 firmware. Imo arconium is the best gingerbread custom Rom out there.

Thanks for reply but, to root .62 its very tricky
If you use a custom kernel it will be pre-rooted.

Just visit this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330314 and download .42 firmware and flash it with flashtools and the best part is that it can be rooted easily with flashtools itself!

First of all, excuse me for my ****ty english...
So here we go, i've got 2 arc's wright... unlocked the first one, flashed the 1.86ghz kernel and lost wifi and bluetooth... flashed some firmwares, doomlords kernel so lost track on where I lost my wifi...
sick of the laggy performance, sick of the lack of normal memory capacity, so unlocked the other arc and only flashed the 1,86ghz kernel, hoping it wouldnt lose wifi and bluetooth... #bummer...
So, what to do next, how do I get my wifi and bluetooth working again?
Someone got an idea bout what to do?
just flash stock rom, then pre-rooted img. and start again. may be a corrupted file.

any idea when there will be a fix for 2.3.4? I'm just done costumizing my arc, what takes me about 6 hours...
I'll try flashing back to 2.3.3 on my other Arc soon, just so I know that rlly is the problem... Wanted to do that previously but couldnt find 2.3.3 img

I'm not entirely sure, it used to work great on 2.3.2, but ever since it never worked. I read a thread on here that only a small amount of people had this problem, and there was no solution. So I'm going back onto 2.3.2

Hi
I have flashed the global ICS firmware for my xperia arc ! i really like it but it is not as smooth as the gingerbread. I know the firmware is full of bloatware and thats why its a bit laggy..
My question is there a ROM (modified firmware) which i can flash to make the ics run smoothly and faster on my arc ??
Try Arconium.

I'm using the World Generic 4.04 stock rom, and find it occasionally locks up and crashes, I do like the feel and style of ICS but dont think its been perfected for the Arc yet, if I could unlock my bootloader i'd try other roms, so its between ICS or Gingerbread for me

We can use the NEO L one.
But then you'll need an unlocked bootloader to flash the Neo L kernel, right?

hi
Ars-s & Arc Users USE This method : Install MIUI On Locked BootLoader ( LT18i ; LT18a ; LT15i ; LT15a )
beacuse MIUI use Official Kernel.
Installing MIUI or ICS Rom on stock kernel without the camera inberted and pad bugs would be awesome!

if i dont know the bootloader status then probably its locked ! any solution with a locked BL?
