[Q] Root / No-root - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a weird kind of "error"
A Quick Explanation:
So i flashed this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533332
then this kernel : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172885
then the modules..
Now i have a modded kernel and rom.
kernel: Doomlord v19 1.9Ghz
Rom: Gingerchaos v3.9
but now my root is acting all freaky..
first of all: if i run it i get the pop-up of the last version 3.0.7 or so
then i look under preferences and the version is : Superuse v%1$s(%2$d)
I cannot update it
Tried the fixer / normal update / market update / re-rooting through CMW
And i cannot use a single "root app"
could anybody help me out please?
EDIT: Fixed dont know what i did, but i reflashed stock 4...62 , rom , kernel , modules and it worked ..
Though the superuser ( Superuse v%1$s(%2$d) ) has not changed .. it works ..

Congratsss

How about Camera + Camcorder??? is these work or not?
very interesting, thank you for the contribution.
I might actually take a look at this.. all that is needed to "dissect" this would be the standard Android SDK, correct?
EDIT: re-read the post.. dev-tools included. Thank you
Also for the last guy, it's not a stable ROM. It's a port that needs to be ported, so to speak.
This ROM is already leaked and also ported to HD2.
The Camera doesn't work and some others.......

I know this, but it's hard to find some sources. This is the ORIGINAL ROM and not a ROM which could flashed and used on HD2.
Update with GB Vision 2.3.3
Would like top take the opportunity to Hijack this thread (Kidding) and ask how to port a rom for usage on HD2. I managed to the kitchen for customize ready made HD2 Roms but never got to know how to port a Rom from another device to HD2 (is it just the kernel change or something else). I did search but surely didn't utilize correct search terms thus was unable to find resources and information so would highly appreciate it if someone guided me to info on how to accomplish that.

Best way to install a new Rom on Your rooted Defy

For me the best way is to use multiboot : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364659
Install new rom
test it
set it up
Make a Backup with your Recovery System like : TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585927
or CWM Recovery (App in Playstore) of
Nand/Real and second or third or ... system and now you can use all yourroms as your real system.
But don`t forget : every rom have to use the same kernel
Cheers an Thanks for Jelly Bean ( CM10 ) for my dead defy - but i get a new one

I'm on .18 with root and extended power menu, i have several questions..
1. Do i have to factory wipe to update to .20?
2. If I flash .20 downloaded from Asus site which means I need to push TWRP again right?

Hi !
Factory-reset not required ! ( will be enough wipe cache and dalvik-cache ! )
In the future, I will remove the boot loader and recovery from Asus blob files , to not having to re-install TWRP/CWM recovery ! :good:
thanks very much!
This worked well but there's something I want to ask.... if i wipe dalvik cache and cache ONCE, every time i reboot it will say "Android is upgrading" . Does anyone knows why? ( This happens all the time when i use stock or stock based roms, it doesn't happen if I use cyanogenmod.)

Solid work Surdu! Followed your instructions and everything just worked perfectly.
Appreciate you adding the Reboot/Recovery menu too, I use that a lot.
Cheers!

[ROM] Stock 4.1.4 For 101xs, Clean, Stable, Root

Hello guys,
8 years after the release of my 4.1.2 rooted rom, I retrieved my 101 xs and I updated my rom. So here it is, an updated 4.1.4 rom, rooted and optimized that you can install now (don't forget to make backups of course).
I mainly got the tweaks from BlueAndroid: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073859
What I did
Retrieved build.prop enhancements and init.d tweaks from BlueAndroid
Updated busybox to 1.32-Stericsson
Updated CA certs from my recent Samsung phone, because the stock ones were expired
Removed ui sounds completely, I dislike them
Added custom host file for blocking ad servers
Added Viper4Android 2.4.0.1 (was Awesome Beats on 4.1.2)
Added Sony Walkman (music player)
Added Mixplorer v6.57.1 and MixArchive
Added Seeder (entropy generator to reduce lag)
I didn't do any UI tweaks (I'm not good at this). If someone wants, just do it. If you want to build your own version of the rom, I've made a script that builds the patched rom from the stock file. It runs under Linux or WSL. You'll have to download mkrom.zip and androidmerged.squashfs. Unzip the zip and place the squashfs file in the same directory. Then run mkrom.sh, and if everything goes well you should get a file named archos.ext4, ready to be installed (see Installation below).
Also I tried putting more recent versions of Google Play Store and Archos apps in the system/app folder, but when I did this, the apps were not working correctly, so I left them as their old versions. If someone has an explanation, please tell me
Download
Version 1: Archos_4.1.4_Mwyann_1.zip
Installation
I'm just gonna copy/paste BlueAndroid installation instructions here:
Install Developer Edition if you didn't already
connect USB cable & check if USB debugging is already enabled !
put archos.ext4 in your device ( root directory ! ) , or using adb command :$ adb push archos.ext4 /mnt/storage ;
go to recovery -> Developer Edition Menu -> Remove Android Kernel ( if exist ! ) -> Flash Kernel & Initramfs -> copy here zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo in the new drive that appears !
OK -> wait to reboot -> enjoy the new rom
Don't hesitate to tell me if it worked or not, and what you think of this.
Hi!
I have tried to install it, but when I restart the device it just do not want to boot.
It freez ad the Archos logo screen!
What I am doing wrong!
I have dongraded my device to 4.0.26 version.
After that I have enabled the USB debuging.
Than I have installed the SDK version from Archos web site.
Restart and paste your firmware.
Restart again and flash the zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo (deleting ar not the Archos Kernel - no matter the result is the same - freez).
And nothing. Any help?!?!
Thanks!
PS: May be there is something wrong with your zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo files, because with the files from this post it works.
So it did work with the new zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo files? It's possible I just took the wrong files, from 4.1.1. I'll update those files soon.
Edit: Files updated to 4.1.2, should be fine now.
I will trythis method on the 97xs
Great It is ok
if you use the 4.0.26 !!!
doesn't work for me, "Usb connection : please copy a zImage and an initramfs, then press ok to disconnect" i used adb to put
THANKS for your THANKS :good:
Bump to this thread, because I've updated it after 8 years Enjoy a fresh 4.1.4 rom, rooted and updated as far as I could.

You flashed this, do you?
1st) Problems with market.. can i re-install only its?
i'll try to explain: some apps like "clash of clanes", "instagram".. are not recognized like compatibile. In add to its, some apps like facebook and whatsapp have the kitkat interface. Seems that market recognize a kitkat version.
2nd) I can't change background. It's related to an album's app, i think something like "album cut..".
I'm in testing
I like this ROM but i'll wait for more reviews.

After two days of usage i can say:
1) battery is the same as stock sony lollipop.
2)if you want to change background (home or lockscreen is the same) you NEED TO INSTALL photo editor.apk (it is an xperia app).
3) I think you did some mistakes in build.prop for z1 compact. A lot of app in play store aren't compatible with the device.
4) "Ritocco Ritratto" (in italian, i don't know in english) (maybe "portrait changes") is a Camera App extension. It doesn't function due to missing components (says Android).
I can't find "Ritocco Ritratto" anywhere, and market helper doesn't help!

Nice and stable rom. Most of useless bloat removed.
Missing some basic functions and settings from other roms like CM or AOSP - for example editable nav bar buttons, quick toggle hold for opening related settings etc...
But i like sony camera app and some other sony specific features, so at the moment i'll stick with sony based roms
Can any1 confirm if the High-Res Audio (DSEE HX) is working? (It says the option has been enabled in this ROM)
Thank you for this great rom,much better then rockz1c(that most of the time bootloops)
For some reason camera is working awesome in this rom(even better then on kk) all on manual
Been running for a day. No issues whatsoever with install, ric, root or play store incompatibilities. All good.

Where is Z1C gloves mode?
1) Does this ROM have ultra stamina mode ?
2)Do I need 14.5.A.0.242 or I can install it on a .157 Z1C?

Excellent ROM with all of the useless crap removed, but I can't seem to install Sony's stock photo editor (from the What's New app), and get Messaging to work properly while on Ultra Stamina mode.
Would really appreciate if the dev could work on this. No pressure though!
