Hi all
It has bee a while since my last post. But I hope you can help me to know in this new one.
I have an Xperia X10 with android 2.3 but lately it is very slow in almost everithing, e.i: at the moment to write some text, to make a call, etc. and I was thinking to re-flash it to Andorid 2.3 again to make it faster.
However, I saw that a new Android was released. The Andoid 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). So, I was wondering if is there already a version to this Android for the Xperia X10?
If so, could you give me a url where I can download it?
I've flashed my Xperia X10 the last time, however I'm not sure if for the new Android the steps to follow are different.
Any clue, you can write would be helpful.
Thanks in advance
Hi there. Think this may be what you are looking for. It's still in development. Tried it on my Xperia Pro however, there are still issues with WI-FI here on the CM9 ROM. Went back to CM7 until this is sorted out. You will find CM7 and CM9 ROM's here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445819
Note: if CM9 doesn't work out then, you could always reflash the boot. You will have to do that anyway before putting any of these ROM'S on. You are best to flash the boot.img each time you change out from CM7 to CM9 etc. Once you have flashed the boot.img then, it's the usual routine. Boot into Clockwork Mod and take it from there. Freel free to give me a shout if you need anything else.
From what I know, Android 4 isn't fully supported on the Xperia X10, it will run but many features won't work (for example, the camera).
I'd suggest you to do some research (Google is your friend... oh and XDA) before upgrading. It might make your phone even slower.

Go to the X10 Android dev page http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=617
Youll find all roms there but any ICS (miui or cm9) the camera and hotspot is not working. I have had personal use with DiXperia 7 'Avenger', ***FeraLab*** and M&M`S MiUI ROMs and they are all great. My favorite is M&M`S MiUI and it is what Im using right now but they are all fast

Hi, Can someone put together a newbies guide for getting ICS on the Xperia Arc S.
I have a unlocked bootloader, but all the information in the developers section is rather confusing (most because they don't differentiate between Arc or Arc S, so it's unclear if it's safe to load). It also seems much more complicated to get CWM that it is on my other Android device (Asus Transformer) and previous Android devices.
I am looking for something is is basically the ICS beta release by SE, but with the fixes to get the missing stuff like Wifi back.
Thanks.
bare in mind i am very new to this but i have managed to flash install ICS on my arc
for CWM i assume you say its difficult because rom manager says device is not supported?
well i was worried but after some searching i found "auto instaler"
which allowed me to install CWM
i then managed to get ICS
id feel better if i didnt explain steps...as i dont want to confuse you as i said i am very new to all this
... search is your friend.

u need to
1.unlock your phone
2. root your phone
3. learn use fastboot to install Kernel
4. use CWM (mostly include in Kernel) to install ROM
then will work (this is short version explain)
im using arconium ICS (choose one of the kernel that provided and install first then install the ROM)

READ CLEARLY THOSE INSTRUCTION SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM
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.

Asking too many questions. If you wanted it, you would know you want it and you would have done it by now.
Stick with what you have. Wait for the official update. It'll be along soon I am sure

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.
Hi,
I'm a new Xperia Arc S user, this is my first android phone as well (previously - WP7 on Samsung Focus, unlocked it and installed custom roms there - im experienced)
Got this phone since a couple of days now, it's running android 2.3.4, as ICS update is not available in my country yet. The phone came with PlusGSM branding, although can't tell the difference to stock android because I never had one.
I installed couple of apps, did some updates from android market and now I have like 44MB free only. Anyway now I'm wondering what to do next? Do you recommend anything in particular, like flashing to ICS, rooting, wait for official ICS update, etc?
Gonna read some guides like "Ultimate v1.0 Newbie's Guide For Arc / Arc S User" meantime
Wrong forum for question look at Q&A Section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1182
Oh sorry for that, could a moderator move my thread there?
ps. I'm just upgrading to official ICS via PC Companion, it poped up 1h ago...
I heard that there is no valid method of unlocking bootloader on Xperia Arc S without loosing DRM's. So I would like skip this part and try some custom roms that doesnt require to have it unlocked. Could you recommend any particular custom ICS roms ?
Hey, I am using my xperia arc. And I would like to have my UI look like ICS, but still stay on Ginger Bread since it is more stable according to the official Sony website. I currently have the .62 software, Android 2.3.4, boot loader unlocked and I have no idea what I should do after my boot loader's unlocked. Moreover, I have the flash tool software, but I don't get what would happen if I flash some software (i.e the global generic software from Sony). And I would like to have a tutorial on how to get my phone look like ICS. So if you guys can help me out it would be great cheers.
*Please also show me the download link and the phone is not ROOTED.
Please do a little search in the ARC Theme section. Everything is there. And your phone must be rooted to use any UI MOD.
For rooting instructions check the ARC General section. The procedures threads are in top. All are sticky.

Hi All,
First of all, congratulations for the forum and great project on adroid!!! I'm new on this, and hope learn something here and who knows help in some development.
I will inform a lot of things on this post since i don't know what can be relevant....
I unlocked my phone, and installed ICS Beta from Sony, and used for a while, but, I really want to use CM 9 or 10... so i've downloaded, the stable packages of CM9.1, and CWM5 and installed on the phone as described in many places here and on the CM Wiki, and all functions work ok besides my wifi, it simply doesn't start(Don't star on CM 9 /9.1/ 10)...
Ive also installed baseband mods hoping this can help, but nothing happens....
The same thing happend with ICS Beta From Sony but the Dommlord package to enable WIFI and Bluetooth helped on that version...
So my need is to enable my wifi connection that is dead on the CM 9.1, the phone shows enabling wifi message for a long time and never starts the wifi hardwares... any tips to help me ???
I'm Using a Xperia Arc Lt15a with CMW 5+ and CM 9.1 (FXP139 for now but this happens with any version of CM 9.XXX)...
I Know that SE made diffrent hardwares to some places of the world, so i'm from Brasil, if this helps...
Thanks in advance!!
Leonardo.
No One can help??
Theres a wifi patch addon. Install that. Look at the rom thread
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
Install suitable baseband and libs if available.
Look at the ROM thread for supporting baseband.
Look at the thread for basebands and libs -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688049
Not sure why anyone would choose to flash the Beta at this stage. Flash the latest stock ROM first then CM and report back.
Thanks
Hi, Guys,
Thanks for all replys... i'll try the basebands, but need to read more about it, i don't know wich version is the correct for my device or location, ...
