Is it the only rom we are going to have?
if we get our first initial rom than the development of further rom become easy.....
in reality there are not much developer working on arc......
so it is our bad luck
only few custom rom will be available for arc in future unless some developers become active towards arc development
first 6 months on the x10 were quiet dev wise.. but... now they've got ROM's coming out of their ears over there.. so give it time.. it will come.
if it comes then it is gr8
wohahh!!!!!!then arc will be a great phone coz it will have looks and functions

Hello everyone.i ma new to this forum and kinda a noob on rooting my arc S.
So i am wondering should i root my phone or not i have it for like 1month now and i have ICS installed .587 but sometimes it lags and so on.Now i am in a dilemma.
There are some apps that i would like to on arc S like WALKMAN and Album from the Xperia S but as much as i understood i need to be rooted.Also i would like to have JB since it doesn't lag as ICS with working camera and everything(if there is such ROM?).
So i would like to hear what others think

First of why do you shout?
Second i wanted to hear from others what they think.Would you rather root or not.
Most prominent reason I rooted my device was to install Link2sd.
Cause you see, internal memory of arc is too low to install hundreds of apps.
Link2sd links applications to sd card freeing internal memory.
Apart from that I find no reason whatsoever to root.I'm pretty happy with stock Rom.
Rooting also give you authority to overclock your device.if you want to make it faster.which by the way will decrease battery life.
When and if JB is released by Sony you can use SEUS and update to that.of course you can even try some other awesome Rom like Cyanogenmod 10. Which I'm pretty sure will release JB before Sony : )
But installing cyanogenmod will require your phone to be rooted.

Because I hate these kind of posts, I don't understand the mentality of joining a Developer forum and asking if you should do what is ultimately required to do most modifications to your Phone. And I've given you my opinion, it's up to you.

Veyr well...I Just don't want that sony release JB official for xperia arc S and i ma rooted with a ROM
This forum seems kinda dead now...once the Ion came out this forum thrived for a bit. Sadly no roms or themes
We have CM9 though, which is good news. Though sadly only a handful of us here can actually install it.
Delete
I would delete this post...i made a similar thread about 3 days ago... and people raged so hard. It was slightly funny, but i guess i really hurt someones feelings
so please remove or you will face the wrath of online anger...
Why? Its just disappointing to see that a phone with great potential have rarely any development. I understand that we do have devs here (thanks to all for CWM and other mods and such) but its still disappointing.
I'm hoping that when the Xperia T comes out in more regions that Sony will let us unlock the bootloader (though I'm not holding my breath). Once unlocked I'm pretty sure that things will pick up a lot. Kind of sucks that such a good phone is happered by something so stupid.

Yeah, once we are able to unlock our bootloaders things should definitely pick up. Hope that MIUI develops for the LT28 soon aswell. This lack of customization is killing me.
I guess that's what you guys get for being early adopters and hoping a dev community will spring up. If you want a phone for custom roms and other things you should wait till you are sure there will be developers for the device.
Complaining that there isn't dev for a device you already bought knowing at the time there was not much development is pretty dumb if you ask me.
I for one get a device because I like it as it is. If there is further development for the device after I get it great but that's just a bonus.
Just like buying a phone in hopes of an update is not a wise decision, buying a device hoping their will be development isn't any better.
You also have to remember the.ion wasn't a flagship device or one that was pushed very hard so there would obviously be less interest for the major developers to work on it.

I like the phone aswell, but coming for an Arc with an unlocked bootloader i just miss the customization you know? We can only hope that the ion will get dev attention eventually.

Thing to remember also is the ion is very much the same as the Xperia S with a few small differences so mods for the S shouldn't be too hard to convert to the ion.

Well said - you know what you got - it's your decision buying/sign contract for. So what's there to whine about. Xda is a plus IMO.

Also rather than complain you cam take actionand learn yourself. Android is one of the most open source project since html. There are lots of resources available to learn and I know this because I for one have noticed the lack of developments so I decided to learn.
Also begging for development doesn't help the cause. If you would like resources to learn start with developing simple apps and expand.

If i knew how to develop miui that'd be great...thats all im really hoping for
EDIT: Is there any big differences between the ion and the acro s? Cobrato's just released a method to convert xperia s roms to work with the acro s. Heres the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914328
EDIT2: Nevermind, doesnt work. Possibly we could figure a method to exploit his conversion to work with our ion?

But without CM9/10, you cannot port Miui.
Now, that Cm9 is out for ION, we can try and port it.
I will give it a try.
Proudly announce that there's a Vietnamese person has released an Rom Cooked name X-Ion Kudo v1 on local forum. Let's search and try
Just checked it out, nothing special. Just a stock rom with various tweaks that i could do myself. I'm really hoping for MIUI to develop for the ion
I have already tried porting MIUI. But I could not go beyond the MIUI Logo.
Since I am on CM9, it is easier for me to keep testing. Hope to get it right soon.:fingers-crossed:

I hope you get some good results!
I think one reason why this phone is lacking devs is that there are too meany of these xperia phones out that are all pretty much the same and with the prices being the same as well. I bought my wife the lt28h due to it having support for what t-mobile calls "4g". With these devices dev will come easier from ports of other similar phones. It is only a matter of time. We the owners of these ION phones have but only three choices 1. Learn to dev 2. sell phone buy one with heavy dev teams 3. Wait for developments. I for one would be happiest with a fully working ics/miui or a ics/ASOP. But I am pretty happy with just the stock rom for now.
We have now CM9, CM 10 and MIUI. Not so bad for a phone that has a locked bootloader in the U.S. and has begun selling in Europe at the same time as the Xperia T.
According to this, aokp Jelly Bean is on the way for unlocked bootloader.

Really, petitions? Unlock bootloader and flash customROMS with kitkat and you're good to go. If you don't want, shut up with the petitions non-sense, xda is not a place for signing petitions or to even spread about it, makes the community stupid. Don't you think?
I guess this is useless. Xperia M has sony support till November so we can except something. There were also some rumors that after M2 update sony can release kitkat for M.
Sent from my C1904 using Tapatalk
KitKat update for M2 is on the way, accordig to some googleing SP also may get 4.4.2 but M is not on the list, tho i found something that KitKat for M might be in testing, or at least in consideration. I really hope well get some kind of update, at least for app2sd, as M2 will recieve support for it with KitKat update. That was officially announced by Sony...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is a difference between official Sony(the company) and some very active people running a site called Xperia Blog which keeps people up to date with Sony developments.
These guys/gals at Xperia Blog have their finger on the pulse of Sony, but don't believe they speak for Sony.
Sony has, just announced(updated support pages to reflect) that phones like the Xperia T TX and V will have Android 4.3 as their final Sony release.
The Xperia M is still in it's 18month(more of a guideline than a rule ) support honeymoon period, with time on it's side for future developments.
Fingers crossed.

Exactly! sony has not said no
but they didnt say and straight yes either. so all about KK on XM is a hearsay for now i'm affraid
In my opinion a petition against sony or any oem for releasing a new software (hotfixes and such excluded) is useless, because they need to develop it and their programmers want to get paid. If they want to release it, ill be happy, when not, ill still be happy, because it will be still useable (i still use 4.1 and im happy with it)

It is not probable but it is possible they will release KK...
Just updated Update Center.
Only for xperia apps update or maybe Kitkat possibility :what:
I'm not really okay with this. You can't rush something while it's in development, or else it will result in bad quality. Perfection requires time. It's the same thing how developers hate being asked for ETAs for their ROMs. It's not an easy thing to do and it would be better if we would just wait.
But it wouldn't hurt signing this petition...
I would rather see 4.4.4 than 4.4
Xperia M updated mooted soon...maybe.
I was about to grumble about the lack of Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy (BLE) support and reading through the posts I came across the following Sony forum post.
This would indicate a forth coming update if the post is taken at face value....and maybe BLE too. :victory:
These comments/post should always be taken with a pinch of salt, but the BLE issue has been known for a few months and Sony did say(as posted) they'd investigate... plus a lot of forum poster have really strong armed Sony(bless them) on this.
Does Xperia M support Bluetooth BLE?
So, maybe affirmative action and software upgrades are no more than a well documented problem away.
More than likely not Android 4.4, but nice to know we are still on Sony's radar and that they're thinking of us.
Why there are so few mods and ROMs for m5 ?
It doesn't look promising....
I've recently bought a E5603 as a Christmas present for my young son and wanted to root and mod it so it's similar to my Z2.
The Z2 forum was buzzing with mods, hacks, ports, roms etc., it was amazing. But the Z2 is several years old now and most people have newer phones (the M5 for example) so the forum has died down now. As the M5 is a newer model I was hoping there would be more happening here too.

I think it's because cpu
I love the M5, it's a fantastic phone with great hardware and specs. But after visiting this forum over the past few months and seeing such a lack of activity it now depresses me coming here.
I also have a Motorola G 2015 and the activity over there is awesome. And compared to the M5 its more of a budget phone. But maybe that's the reason, there are many more owners of the Moto I guess.
Its because its based on MTK SoC... roms are notorious hard to find for these for whatever reason... Ive got a BLU Pure XL based on same SoC; I am here looking for resources to get CM or LOS working on it...
Is for Mediatek SoC.
The only solve is, port from other devices with similar SoCs.
I wish I was talented enough to port or create a ROM.
Maybe its time I tried to learn more than just altering files and flashing zips
Some ROMs needing testers

There seems to be some ROMs under development out there needing testers. https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m5/development
I also posses an Xperia M5 and the stock ROM is way too memory-using to me.
The best thing to do would be testing these ROMs, check which one is the most stable and then help developing this one. I could give a hand there.

3 months have passed.
Still no further development?
