Hey guys. I'm running an all out stock Xperia Arc on 2.3.4, 4.0.2.A.0.42, baseband 56.
I'm looking into modding it but I am overwhelmed by all these choices and mods.
Stock rom is pretty good, but I wonder if I'm missing out on performance or configuration options that custom mods offer.
Can anyone knowledgeable enough suggest what kernel/rom combo should I use?
What steps are there from start to finish?
I've got it rooted, backup made and CWM installed.
Thanks a lot!!!
Doomkernel v19 + arconium 8

Hello I'm using JJ's Hybrid ROM with ArcNight 3.3 kernel and it's awesome but I want even more stuff.
Like supercharger v6, Xperia S lockscreen, Google Now, and Turning off button backlights.
And also any smart accessories for the device.
Have you got any Mods/Add-ons/ports that you recommend, for better battery and performance or just a more stylish UI.

Do we need more threads asking basically the same thing.
Sorry, edited the thread.
Currently I'm using the stock ICS 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431) on my Xperia ARC LT15i with unlocked bootloader and thinking about overclock it, however, I couldn't find a custom kernel that gives me that possibility.
I've researched about DoomLord, Mesa and other ones but I only see custom works for ICS 4.0.3.
In case of anybody knows some good kernel for LT15 running ICS 4.0.4 I'd really apreciate if could tell me more about or indicate any research's source.
Thank you folks and sorry if this question is inappropriate.
Regards.
Hi,
There are many kernels for ICS in the development section. Most of them provides overclocking feature. You can try Arcknight, Xarc, Anzu and Lupus kernel. But based on experience with my arc, most of them have battery drain issues.
right now Im on advanced stock kernel
I always using doomkernel v5 or sega stock kernel without overclock. I dont want my arc blows up.
But it's up to you.

Thanks

hahahahaha your asking for the perfect rom wich is not been created yet lol
i would recomend you follow attacks post for the step by steps
but for gaming i would probably go with Cola Rom as it is the fastest rom for gaming and probably doomkernel for your kernel.
and for jellybean rom i would go with Slimbean...well thats my thoughts... hoped it helped

Is doomkernel good for 2.3.3? I've tried Lupus GBv11 it works but the wifi is only functional on 2.3.4 I've tried hatcyl's 2.3.3 kernel with 1.6 overclock which just causes my play to bootloop and act crazy. Whats the best kernel available to 2.3.3? From what I can tell the bulk of custom ROMS are based off 2.3.3. Aside from Lupus' GBv11 kernel wifi problem with 2.3.3 it worked perfectly. So a good custom ROM based off 2.3.4 might be an alternative, any suggestions?

Doomkernel v2 is the best kernel that I have used. I run it at 1.2ghz smartassv2 and sio. You also have to flash wifi modules that come with it. I've never had problems with it. Debloated stock 2.3.3 or my Zeuscnxtlite(Stock 2.3.3) rom gets me 300mb free ram on average.
Since Download links are down for doomLord, here are the files.

Hello peers, I am on Xperia V right now but also have an Xperia Arc in my closet. So I wanted to make it come to life again with a nice ROM. But there are so many ROMs now in the forum so I can't make a decision since I have been away for long time here and only hanging around in the Xperia V (LT25i) forum.
I need help in finding a ROM for my unlocked bootloader Arc (LT15i) that dosen't have to be flashed with Arc S (LT18i) firmware first.
I want just the basics-, nothing fancy and ICS with some minor tweaks and added performance boost etc (On-screen-buttons would be nice too).
Please help me find a ROM, and kindly provide a link to the developer thread.
I thank you much in advance.
For the beginning i would recommend one of the following ROMs : Viper Xperia and UHD 3.0.2. I would Choose Viper Xperia (PDroid ) but this is only my opinion.
Hi datagubben,
You can flash LT18i .ftf first just so you have 420MB in /system partition, instead of 380MB of LT15i. Other than that there's no differences.
If you want a nice ICS ROM with on screen buttons I would suggest Pureness ROM by ThilinaC.

He's not developing it anymore, but it is the best looking one out there, in my opinion at least.

It's been a while since I've been here. My current setup is: Xperia NXT LE rom & Gingerbread v12 Kernel. I get about 190-240mb of free RAM when most things I don't need are stopped, has anyone here achieved more than that with a newer/more up to date combo? Just curious. Thanks guys.
