[Q] ICS Screen Tearing - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I did found some similar threads about this but none is actually answering my question.
Two days ago I flashed my Xperia Arc (for the first time) with custom rom. It was KA12 and then KA13 (based on ICS beta release). Since then, im noticing screen tearing when watching a video (taken by devices camera) with any video program and slight tearing while browsing (scrolling) thru menus. I tried kernel provided in the thread and DooM's ICS BETA kernel v04 with the same results.
Since im new here, I cant post directly in the related thread so im forced to ask here and hope to get some answers.
So is this happening to anyone using same rom or is it just me?
I'm also noticing some skipping while watching videos (again taken by phone's camera) but I think that's the issue of still immature ICS (the videos are fine on the PC). Or is it something else?
Don't know is it relevant but I would also like to point out that I flashed .64 baseband provided by the maker of the rom witch is apparently for Xperia Neo and everything works fine (except for the mentioned problems of course ).
P.S.
Sorry for my bad English and probably noobish questions but im still new to all this modding and such...

Main thing is that you are running beta ROM and there could be problems with it.
Searching in ROM's thread might help with that graphical issue.

Looks like that was the case, beta. I changed my rom to KA14 (based on leaked ICS) and tearing and skipping are gone now.
I'm having some other issues now but that's not related to this topic now.
Tnx again!

Sound playback issues with 2.2

I have reported problems with playing sound before but it probably got lost in the flood of other posts. Since I have recently found someone mentioning similar problem I am starting this topic to figure out if anyone else found it.
In the Chinese stock Froyo rom whenever I was playing any sounds (mp3/podcasts/last.fm) I was getting clicks from time to time. It was correlated with animations of the GUI - or in other words when I was scrolling emails the sound got more choppy. It irritated me so much that I have gone back to 2.1.
Is anyone experiencing similar issues?

Try Jboogie3's Froyo beta 2 or Clip 2 beta 2!! No problem with the case you mentioned!!
I have the exact same problem using Jboogie3's Froyo beta 2 and it is really annoying
I met the same problem too. I dont think it is related to UI. Sometimes there is click/beep even if I dont touch the phone.
Until I found someone using MS2 facing the same problem. It is not hardware problem. May be there are bugs in TI's decoder.
You can try PowerAMP. It uses its own native library as decoder. The sound is perfect!
Hope this helps.
I run into the same problems with the recently release USA Froyo. It's more of an downgrade than an upgrade!
Same issue. Using Vanilla Froyo (based off China 2.2).
Really REALLY annoying.
It's the same with GB Froyo (117).
Well, if this is the case I really hope they fix it until full release. Would ruin the phone for me
Sent from my Defy
I am not experiencing this problem with the UK Froyo release, nor did I experience it with the Chinese Froyo release or with 2.21.0 or 2.34.1 firmwares.
Have you made any modifications to a default firmware release - de-ODEXing, overclocking/undervolting, a custom theme? Are you running CPU-intensive applications in the background? Are you using a lot of resource-intensive widgets?

Any bugs in the stock CappyGlide ICS ROM?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841502
Similar to the other thread where you post the bugs in the ICS leak, are there any in the stock ROM that was just posted today? I'm very interested, but I don't wanna go too far if it's riddled with issues.
I have gathered that the keyboard isn't backlit, but is there anything else that isn't functioning properly?
I think the CWMR ROM posted is just a repack of the same ROM, so any bugs present in the original leaked ROM would be present. Cant speak for everyone but other than the keyboard backlight, ICS is running great for me. I had a battery drain issue but it appears to have resolved itself.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but what came out today is the same ROM, just in a different format. Be patient, people are working on improving it, and the official version should come out soon as well. CM9 or 10 isn't in the too distant future as well, I'm guessing we'll have it by Thanksgiving.
I gave up using it, because I had constant crashes (not actual crashes, the system was still running, ie Pandora kept playing but the UI stopped responding) and I got molasses slow wifi. Most people have reported no wifi issues, however.
OK, that's quite alright. Thanks for the reply.

The thread i posted today is the exact same as the original post about the stock ICS, i just made this one flashable. Also i havent had any problems with it other than the backlit keyboard. Im making a debloated one ATM so you can look foward to that with a couple of tweaks.

[Q] Questions re: Incredibly(^<Paranoid2.19.30Final, Sense-based ROMs

Long time lurker, first time poster (which means I can't post in the actual ROM thread). If my thread is inappropriate, please feel free to revise/delete as necessary. If additional information is needed from me, please advise.
By way of background: I have experience with flashing on this phone dating back to Gingerbread with IncredibleHD and MikRunny from "another site". I came over from a Samsung Fascinate where I was also flashing ROMs. So while not an expert in the actual development of the device, I would like to think I am somewhat experienced with flashing ROMs at least.
Incredibly(^<Paranoid2.19.30Final Questions:
With my current flash of Incredibly(^<Paranoid2.19.30Final, I am not running any themes and installation should be basically standard (though I did have to flash the October GApps package over it because there was no way to set up a Google account).
1. Aroma: The Revised OP still talks about the Aroma installer (I know that there have been two versions of the ROM zip in the past). When I flashed 2.19.30, there was no Aroma installer. Bad download or mistake in OP? Answered in Post #4.
2. Camcorder: Regular camera and FFC are working correctly. The OP says that the camcorder has 720p enabled at this point. However, I do not see anywhere in the settings to change the quality of the camcorder, and the camcorder is currently recording at 480p. How do I change the camcorder to 720p? Answered by The Man himself in Post #14.
3. Bluetooth in Car: With the various AOSP ROMs, when connecting the phone to my car via Bluetooth (not A2DP, just a headset profile), I get sound but it is garbled beyond belief while ringing. For any music buffs, the sound is basically the first chord of "I Believe In a Thing Called Love" by The Darkness...as the sound of a phone ringing. Per Rushead's post #710, it appears that Bluetooth headsets and in-call voice are not functional, which is a known issue in AOSP ROMs under ICS and JB with no fix. Has this been resolved in this ROM since "everything" works but LED camera flash? Answered in Post #9 via OP for Incredibly(^<Paranoid Collection.
4. Status Bar Clock: I want to eliminate the clock in the status bar. I go in to the AOKP settings via Settings > ROM Control > Clock > Clock Style and select "No Clock". This removes the clock from the status bar. However, when the phone goes to sleep, and I come back through the lock screen, the clock is back. Going back in to the settings as referenced above, the "No Clock" option is still selected...and yet there is a clock there. If my memory serves me, in Aeroevan's CM10 the option would be under Settings > System > Status Bar, but there is no option for the clock there in Incredibly(^<Paranoid. Obviously not a huge deal, but just curious if anyone has a suggestion. Answered in Post #9; works fine in CM10 so who cares.
Any information or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
VenomINC 1.3.1 Question:
While my primary questions are related to Incredibly(^<Paranoid as I am digging JB at the moment, as I am already running up my technical support bill I figure I will ask a VenomINC question as well.
I have tried the various Sense-based ROMs under ICS (but VenomINC in particular...same thing, standard install, no themes) and have a giant issue that does not seem to have popped up in that thread: everything works perfectly, with one exception: no audio comes out of the headphone jack. I have tried an aux cable in the car, regular headphones...nothing. This makes the Sense ROMs unusable for me personally, as I spend a good amount of time in the car for work and listen to podcasts/music.
As best I can tell, I believe that this only happens with Sense 4 based ROMs (UKB, ViperINC, EclipticSense over on "another site") but not with Sense 3.6 ROMs (Ascension, the Nitsuj ICS leak) or with CM based ROMs (including Aero's CM10). I will note that I have not tried changing the kernel - I understand that Viper is using the Chinese kernel, while some of the other ROMs have the leak kernel.
The issue was raised in the ViperINC thread by user artcotto in post #s 615, 634, 689, 691, and 693 with no resolution beyond Nitsua98 helpfully suggesting that maybe his headphones were broken (they were not). I have flashed the various updates to ViperINC since November and the issue has not gone away. Any information on this would be appreciated as well as I am a bit of a flashoholic and would likely go back and forth between Sense and AOSP (even though as noted above JB is pretty awesome).
Thank you for the great community and for any information and assistance you can provide. Thanks to all the developers for all the hard work you have done for our phone (which was apparently ancient and incapable of upgrade by HTC the second we bought it) allowing me to have a current phone without needing to buy a NEW phone.

Have you tried earlier versions of ViperInc? I am using 1.0.2 and have none of the issues I was having with 1.3.1 (which were not your issues - just lag). Another question would be - and I'm not sure this would really affect the jack - have you flashed the firmware?
Re: [Q] Questions re: Incredibly(^<Paranoid2.19.30Final, Sense-based ROMs

I have not tried going back to prior versions of ViperINC, though I believe I have used from 1.1 onward and had this issue. I didn't mention in my original post, but yes, I have flashed the ICS firmware with the 0320 radio. Maybe 1.0.2 would be worth a try (though I'm not sure there is a way to get old versions of the ROM).
Re: [Q] Questions re: Incredibly(^<Paranoid2.19.30Final, Sense-based ROMs
This might sound odd. I've been on viper the longest. No lag. I installed super su n un installed their SU. Also got a busy box installer from the market n updated the phones busy box. I'm also running defensed but made sure I popped in rosie, but it's frozen n I'm running nova. Night n day I tell ya.

fwiw, i also have 0320 radio with headphones working fine. i was previously on ViperInc 1.2.0 and EclipticSense and it also worked fine.
Can you think of anything else you did with your phone around the time you first started experiencing the headphone issue?

Not that I'm aware of. As I mentioned above, I don't think it's a "hardware" issue, in the sense that even now I have no problems with CM 10, Incredibly(^<Paranoid2.19.30, etc. My best thought was that it may be something with the way the Sense 4 ROMs interact with the hardware, i.e. maybe the kernel on my particular phone? But I have no idea. At some point I will try flashing the "leak" kernel over the VenomINC install.
What I'm more interested in at this point is 720p recording on Incredibly(^<Paranoid2.19.30Final (And I am looking forward to Chilly throwing together a CM10 ROM).
If we keep going back and forth we can rack up enough posts to start posting at the grown-up table :good:
So the revised OP for what is now the Incredibly(^<Paranoid Collection answered a couple of the questions.
Bluetooth phone calls do not work in any of Chilly's ROMs.
I flashed his CM10, and the issue with the clock in the status bar is resolved. This leads me to believe it is an AOKP/PA issue; I am fine with CM10 anyway so no big deal there.
However, when I flashed CM10, the same issue exists with the camcorder. FFC and regular camera work great for photos; there is no option to change the camcorder to 720p.
Re: ViperINC issue: I flashed ViperINC 1.3.1 again, and this time I flashed the "leak" kernel over it. Still no audio through the headphones. I tried turning Beats Audio on/off, did not do anything.
Only issues I have with Viper is it will not connect to my media server via the native apps. I also have been experiencing lag but I think it's mainly due to lack of ram as a reboot usually clears it up. Also if you toggle gps off it doesn't work unless you reboot.

that reminds me, i also have the Sony XLoud disabled in ViperINC

I did not install XLoud in the Viper Installer, just went with Beats. As I said in the OP, I know that my issue was previously mentioned but it does not seem like anybody ever found out the cause.
Bluetooth phone calls are not a dealbreaker for me. At this point, if the 720p recording is actually working, I would be happy with CM10 as a daily driver (though I may check out Evervolv as well to see what 4.2 can do). I just can't find the setting...
So what I think I pieced together: the Chilly collection of ROMs does not have 720p recording. When he was talking about the camera being fixed 99.999% except for flash, he was talking about FFC only, and the ROMs do not have 720p recording. I am hoping I am wrong but confirmation would be appreciated.
It may be a situation like the DKStunna thread, where it was proudly proclaimed at the top that "EVERYTHING WORKS", except for the stuff that didn't that you were just supposed to know hadn't been fixed. When Chilly said in Post #875 that "Lol FFC can works ..led flash works but not with taking pictures...video etc works" that does not appear to mean that 720p recording works.

I had got 720p working but it caused problems so I removed it u caught the thread before the revamp
Currently working on most my roms is
FFC with recording
Tethering with 3party app
I will be implementing fixes for led flash
Blue tooth works but has some bugs
Mostly everything works with fixes that I will be implementing
The pa I upped has fixes already baked in ..I'm yet to try BT yet
Once fixes have been baked the roms will be fully functional minus 720p

That must have been what happened...I have kept up with the thread fairly regularly and thought I saw that 720p had been figured out, but as you said that must have been before it was pulled. I was confused why nobody was mentioning it in the thread considering it would have been big news.
Chilly, thanks for the response, and thanks for all the hard work you do to make the phone feel like new. We're lucky to have such talented devs keeping our device relevant. Keep doing what you do! :highfive:
To the Mods: that should wrap up this thread if you want to lock it. I do not believe there is an answer to my remaining question about ViperINC and audio through the headphone jack.

Sweet. I'm locked in my phone till November so I'll be like 1 outta 12 people left with the phone rocking ICS. Sounds exciting
Can usb tethering be done in cm10. I saw the WiFi app thread but nothing on usb.
Not to bump an old thread, but since I still can't post in the actual development thread: Chilly said in Post #1369 of his ROM thread that "No such thing as 100% but yes everything should work other then rotating hard keys bust out the champagne!"
Therefore my question is, once again: how do you change video recording quality to 720p in the camcorder? There still doesn't seem to be an option for it. Any info would be appreciated.

[Q] Phone screen full artifacting on lupus kernel. Help ;_;

A while back installed the lupus kernel and android 4.Whatever on my xperia play.
I wasn't exactly happy with a lot of things but at least it worked.
Just now without any reason it started showing mad artifacting and while booting up there is rainbow colored tv static. i can barely make out anything and crashes are everywhere. Especially the developer settings menu.
could this have to do with the lupus kernel and the 4.?? Android version i have, or is this a hardware problem?
All the information is in the only thread i ever made. Since my pc is broken and im posting from my psvita i cant copy the url here.
If you search my username itll pop up.
I can enter the recovery menu but i don't remember if i have a backup on it.
I'D like to reinstall the original android 2.1 or whatever i had, if that helps anyway, but i need someone to help me through the steps.

First of all what do you mean by android 4? please be more specific are you meaning to say the advanced ftf? and from the sound of your issue if at first when still entering CWM or initial boot you are having the screen problem i can confidently say that is a hardware problem however if not the best way to solve this is flashing the original ftf for xperia play search in google i assure you can find it, and you can start from there you will need to have that pc fixed before anything else though

after you posted i got kind of sad and i said to my bro: i dont want my phone to die ;_; and i hugged it close to my face. then when i looked at it later the screen was back to normal! if you want to know my reaction type in will smith video games on youtube. the moment he enters the room.
Anyways i then realized i might have hugged something back in place and started messing with the slide system for the playstation buttons. artifacts started appearing and disapearing again in reaction. So thats where the problem originated from. its now 12 hours later and its still working. So all in all you were right about it being a hardware problem. :silly:
Still i am going to reinstall the original os. If i google ftf for xperia play will i be able to find instructions on it to do the whole process?

I've now spent more than 6 hours on and off trying to research this **** again and i'm about done.
I don't know how i did it but i now have the turbo kernel and pacman rom installed. thank you very much for posting the link. i was messing around with stupid **** on google before that and couldn't get it working. my phone is much faster already.
I think you enabled show screen updates in the developer menu haha

hah No, but i did try that once. a whole different type of flickering.
I have tried the new turbo kernel and pacman rom. normal stuff is a lot quicker, but playing epsxe is actually slower than on lupus ics beta and uh...the rom had before. forgot which one.
most important, my hardware keys arent working anymore. they just don't do anything. do i need to flash an extra plugin to get it working?
*edit*
im an idiot. pacman doesn't say it supports game keys. i just assumed so.
and i just found out that for best performance i'd want lupus gb kernel. from this i can conclude that the thing that was making my first flash slow was the rom and not the kernel.
what would be the fastest rom with camera, gamepad and standard functionality? and is there any difference between 480p and 720p? besides from the difference in quality?

480p doesn't take full screen videos you'll see black lines on the sides but its good enough and gives you more ram

why dont you try to test the roms on my signatures, these are my daily driver roms, if you want more ram but less video quality use 480p if you want better video recording but sacrificing a little bit of ram go with 720p, we really couldnt say which is the best rom because usually once you start flashing rom you would notice there are things that you want thats not in the rom and there are also things that you need that that is in the rom.

actually my plan was to use the lupus v9 kernel and auroraplay rom. after i flashed lupus using flashtool it just did nothng at the lupus logo. even when mashing back or volume down. then i tried flashing the rom to see if that did anything but nothing.
so i flashed back turbo and pacman which is actually really nice. but still slower in games than what i had and the gamepad isnt working. i don't get what i'm doing wrong. flashing it is all i need to do right? i did lupus before so i dont get why its not working.

cyanogenmod-10.1-is-not-perfect

does anyone know, or have a reason, or encounted in a problem with CM 10.1 cuz i recently installed CM 10.1 stable on my ATT S3 and it keeps restarting itself after 20/30 minutes tops, maybe longer but once in a while it randomly restarts itself
installed everything perfectly, no reason to be acting crazy since its from CYANOGENMOD TEAM but ROMS are not perfect or as good as STOCK ROMS (that come pre-installed on your device)
any issues, bugs, any kind of thing you have noticed with cm 10.1 yu can post it here
new upcoming features, fixes, what should be there or shouldnt be there, whats missing everything
HELPING EACH OTHER SOLVE SIMPLE/SERIOUS with CM 10.1 and above ISSUES
am currently running Synergy ROM 4.1.2 Stock rom with ZIGGY KERNEL (clocked at 1.3 Ghz) and its pretty sweet, stable, good battery, perfomance is top notch for a stock based rom that come with all samsung boatload
SO DUMP ALL THE PROBLEMS/SOLUTIONS IN THIS NEW THREAD FOR CM 10.1 AND ABOVE - ATT S3 I747
ANYTHING YU THINK IS COOL/AWSOME ABUT CM 10.1 ON YOUR AWSOME S3 GET IT HERE
Or just post them in this thread which already gets developer support.

Not all phones are created equal. You should try the newer nightlies since they're just as stable. I haven't had any issues with Cyanogenmod. The reboot bug has been squashed a couple of months ago for me.

thanks for that, but this thread is based on everything to do with cyanogenmod 10.1 and above, clearly i am not a fan of nightlies as to do with updating my phone every second (thats a hustle for me cuz i gotta backup everything/reinstall everything again) and not to mention i have better things to do than just updating to a new bulds everyday or trying new roms
ihave too much variable things on my phone to delete for reasons like nightlies
THE REBOOT BUG STILL exists quite suprisingly for me as you dont have problems with nightlies or the reboot bug too
the thread yu mentioned is helpful but new ideas, new thoughts, easy to find a solution for a problem/question and navigate easly without having to dig it up tens of pages, a new thread with new people/same but fast replies, nice to workaround with.
am not trying to break any XDA rules/regulations or whatsoever by posting/asking a question or starting a thread thats already there(content and information that i need) but a new thread thats clean, new ideas about the rom, new problems/solutions is what this thread is all about
PHONES COULD BE EQAUL BUT ROMS ARE NOT SAME/DONT WORK SAME ON XXXXX PHONE

First and foremost, no OS or software, including android, is perfect. Secondly starting a new thread does not mean it will not get "cluttered" either. The ROM thread for CM is not as bad as you make it out to be. The idea is that the newest material covers the most recent nightlies. It is not that difficult to go to the end and work backwards. In regards to you random reboots, look on JIRA as it exists for this very reason. Take a logcat and report on JIRA if not already covered. JIRA gives you all the bugs reported and their current status towards a fix. This is a wasted thread for this very reason.
As far as ROMs being different...that is the point. Each developer(s) put their own spin on it. That is what makes these development threads so great. You can look for a ROM that you like best. Some ROMs are more universal (but you still need your device specific version), such as CM, while others are device specific.
And phones are not created equal. They may look the same, have the same hardware specs, and all else seemingly equal, but slight manufacturing imperfections make them different. Two people can have the exact same phone from the same carrier, manufactured on the same day, but due to some ever so slight differences from imperfections, ROMs will work differently on each. For instance, in your case CM reboots randomly. For others, such as myself, this is no longer an issue. However, it is possible that another ROM will work great on your phone but not on mine.
While you say CM is not perfect like the stock rom, the stock rom is not perfect either. I have AT&T and the stock rom has several issues. The lockscreen securities can be bypassed, the alarm likes to not work at random times (software bug), and every now and then I get a battery plummet after a phone call when the phone switches between 4G and 4G LTE. Others may or may not have these issues but they seem to be rather common (the security bypass affects all S3 phones that were on 4.1.1 that I am aware of). For this reason I stick to custom roms because I do not have these problems which I personally view as severe for me (Aside from protecting my data and enjoying battery life, I rely on my phone as an alarm clock). Now that 4.2.2 has come as far as it has, it is stable enough that I can use it as a daily driver. I knowingly accept any bugs that are there because typically the ones that exist do not have a large affect on me, if at all, unlike the stock rom.
