hi everyone!
I want to root and install a new rom on my friend's Xperia Arc ...
but I wanted to know which ROM is the best for high score benchmarks(like antutu) and the stabliest for the everyday use...
My option one is the JJ's HYBRID ROM v3.1
the 2nd Cyanogenmod nightly
the 3rd cyanogenmod stable...
if a better rom is not on the list please tell me
And can i overclock with the stock kernel of the stock ics ?
Cheers...
Arconium ICS V2.0 with Aroma installer
Mooded ICS 100.0 by Chaosfirzen
you need to root and unlock the bootloader... why would you have CM nightly 2nd and CM stable 3rd? and you can overclock the stock kernel but faliure can happen so use a custom kernel for OC
Arconium 4.0 ICS
CM7.2-Stable
heres a whole selection to choose from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653188
the best rom i would suggest is ka21 in terms of battery life while in idle mode, it gives me as low as 0.2 % battery loss per hour(measured using battery drain from play store). it is very diffrent and even has jellybean mod.
if you would want to overclock the stock kernel then use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673476 . if u have an unlocked bootloader, you can even flash custom kernels. note that an unlocked bootloader CAN be relocked.
for me its JJ's HYBRID ROM v3.1 which is good for everyday use.
UI wise for me its better looking with the original look and feel of the android 4, and usable than others.
But it all depends on personal preference.
I used every moded rom for xperia arc and i stayed with stock 4.0.4 with few modification (mainly Xperia S app, any modified sustemUI) and obviously DooMKernel chaos v5
With every moded rom I have some problems (Lockscreen stuck for few minutes <<i cant unlock phone>> , CM9 camera app sux, on JJ sometimes i cant answer the phone, ChaosFriZen eat battery in less than one day) Maybe my phone is "broke" but with stock rom I have no problems...
Arconium 4 with few files from KA21(SemcDlna.apk) and Xperia S apps
and KTG kernel
I tried Mooded but is full of bugs and not as fast as arconium
I am looking for a good rom for my xperia arc. Currently stock ICS 4.04 is installed(not rooted) and i am looking for a rom which provide better performance and better RAM management. I have checked various threads and realized that most of custom rom out there are buggy some of them does not support HDMI some having issues with WIFI etc . So, please suggest me a ram which is best in terms of performance without having these major bugs. I want bravia engine, Xloud, Mega Bass etc phone features which improve its audio/display quality and i donot want all those bloat ware timescape, integrated facebook etc which slows down the phone. Considering this please suggest the best rom. If possible please refer a link/complete guide how to root/unlock bootloader(if required) to install that ram. Any help would be appriciated.

CM9 if you want ICS
CM10 if you want JB (some stuff still doesn't work as it supposed to)
But in my opinion, other than those two I mentioned above, the best custom ROM is debloatwared-supercharged-updated adreno libs-minimally init.d tweaked STOCK ROM with your favorite custom kernel.
Look at my sig for my stock ROM mix and match in general. I also use aeon's lockscreen and smallapps port, custom systemui.apk, cybershot mod, and acid audio engine mod. Stock ROM with that config is more than enough for me. Fast and stable

Kernel and Rom are 2 diff things. The kernel doesnt change wen u flash a rom. The main thing here is that, if u r flashing ics based rom den u shud hav ics based kernel. That means u r now on stock kernel and ultimate hd v2 rom.
If u wanna flash adv stock kernel, there is a link on the ultimate hd thread. You ll hav to use fastboot for flashing kernels.
About lucky patcher, in ultimate v2 there is some prob with it. The dev is going to fix it in ultimate v3.
hi all !
i just flashed cm 10.1 official and it is great so far except for the superuser issue
so i tried to flash a franco kernel as i always do , franco r325 and all my phone went dead force crashing everywhere , without panicking i formatted my phone and i downloaded the r345 kernel but it seems to be an img file something cwm can't flash so i decided to try trinity kernel but i am not sure which is made for 4.2 so i am not taking the risk of flashing a random one then it struck me ...why do i even need to flash kernels anyway? isn't stock kenel the same? so can someone enlightnen me?
Custom kernels allows you to overclock and undervolt the CPU and GPU.
Some custom kernels also add extra features that a stock kernel does not have; fast charge mod, kernel sound mod etc.
kernels control pretty much every aspect of your device. they connect your cpu to your os and hardware. custom kernels add functuality that isnt included with the stock kernel, as well as performance and battery enhancements. google the the word kernel or linux kernel for more info.
now about your issue.. cm made some modifications that made many custom kernels non bootable on cm. franco kernel in the img format isnt flashable via recovery but is flashable via fastboot or the franco kernel app. trinity kernels latest 4.2.1 kernel is alpha10, but the 4.1.2 kernels also run on 4.2.1.
Hi,
If I want init.d support on Stock ROM JB 4.2.2 (JDQ39), "Just" I need to install a Custom Kernel like Franco's Kernel?. Or I need to do something else?. Sorry for this noob question.
Hey guys I was just wondering some games I play like Call of mini their graphics are all silver and weird how do I fix this?:crying:
Which firmware Jb or Gb
Cusrom rom yes or no
Any scripts tweaks like Pure Performance X etc installed.
Answer this and we may can help you
I have stock GB rooted
Install some Custom rom and try then, don't be scared, there's a few roms without issues
