THX!
Thank you for this thread!
First of all, I want to say thank you to FreeXperia team and Cyanogenmod!
This release is amazing! Yesterday, I have unlocked the bootloader and install CM7 to my Arc. Followed the guide step by step. And EVERY things are working perfectly. Read about some post in development section about "bugs". I would like to say everyone -who hasn't got gsm signal, vibration, etc- FOLLOW THE GUIDE!
This is the perfect way, I think:
1. Install 4.0.A.2.368 with flashtool(this is MUST!!!)
2. copy the update and gapps zip to sdcard
3. enter fastboot mode on phone(indicated by blue led)
4. open CMD(with administrator permission)
5. Flash the cm kernel( fastboot flash boot boot.img)
6. enter cwm recovery(press several times the volume down key during boot)
7. choose apply update from sdcard and select rom
8. choose apply update from sdcard and select GAPPS
9. wipe device
10. reboot
Maybe it will help for beginners like me.

Thank you..if I want to go back to se stock rom what should I do?
Can I also do a nandroid backup of my se rom and restore it?How?
What about the warranty if I unlock and ther relock the booloader?

isn't there a way to make it work on 4.0.1 fw??

Will it work only on stock 4.0.A2 or 4.0.1 also supported

In CM7 Thread in Development Section??

I tried this one too, ended up with a broken Arc
Now my phone has the 0% battery issue, it's unusable.
Ill have to look for another phone I guess...
I followed the steps exactly and all went fine.
I installed all my apps last evening and no battery issues whatsoever.
But then I plugged it in to recharge it, and this morning it went nuts and gave the 0% battery problem.
No idea what caused it, my guess is it was somehow triggered by my charger.

Did you try to take out the battery for a while?
How does the cam work on CM7?
As good as with SE's firmware?

I have to disagree on that one, I like the UI and it is taking pictures just fine.
The only thing is its focus, it will only focus when you press the button not in normal view as what the stock camera app does.
And you can always use a market app like vignette for it, but its all personal of course

voice search and theme chooser not working
Ok anyone else have no working voice search and theme chooser I'm on cm7.1.0. Update not 7.1.0.1.

[Q] Question about Doomkernel

I flashed Doomkernel v13 into my ARC few days ago. Everytime it takes long time to reboot - at least 10 minutes and show several times of Doomkernel logo. Is it normal? Or I forget to do something. I have wipe the dalvik cache in recovery mode. Strange!!

That's not normal. Takes as long as normal here.
Try to reflash the kernel
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App

Another problem is when I charge the phone with charger, it will keep on rebooting. I think i need to reflash it again.
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App

Am I did anything wrong? I reflash the kernel several times, but still take very long time to boot. I unlocked BL and rooted, and follow the procedure.....

Maybe you can download Kernel files again and try with that ?

Re-flash the firmware and flash the ROM. Just backup your apps using Titanium backup.

What are you using to flash? ADB, ClockworkMod Recovery? My rule for ROMS has been: download to phone and ensure download was completed successfully, reboot to CWM recovery, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik, install ROM, wipe Dalvik again, reboot.
If you can provide any more info regarding your process I can try and help you out.

Which galaxy nexus version is yours? Which Roms did you install? Did all three wipes?

@ooddiittyy,
I'm using the one from gnex toolkit v7(clockwork mod touch recovery) I did wipe data /factory reset 3times,wipe cache and wipe dalvik and I also format system,cache and data..reboot and stock in boot loop.. I did that to 3jb roms and same thing happens..so I restore to ics.and this time boot up well. This is the first time I've in counter something like this..been flashing since vibrant.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium App

Try re downloading the rom again if its stuck at the Google animation let it sit for 5 to 15 minutes. It should boot up on its own. If not then there's something else wrong. But when I'm stuck at the Google logo with any jb rom I just let it sit. And eventually it boots up fine.

Thanks for the reply..I just flash it again I'm using 2 different jb rom and 2 different kernel..still stock in boot loop..I've waited for 30mins each in boot loop..before I had the vicious rom for almost a week then try different rom and this is what I got.. hayzz...

OK. Hmm. Go into recovery wipe everything 3x data/cache/dalvik cache flash the rom (don't flash a kernel) just the rom go back and reboot system now and see if that helps.
Edit: make sure u have over 50% battery before doing this.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I did that last night..wipe 3× everything.. did flash just rom, then rom with kernel, and also I did try wipe just cache and dalvik.. and also I did try format system, cache and data...
Edit: this is the first time it happen to me..even though I unbrick ,luck bootl. Factory reset .. its so weird...

hey all,
not to highjack this thread, but I'm suddenly having the same issue.
I was on VanirBEAN v7 with the Popcorn Kernel that came with it.
I then flashed Franco's latest (384 GPU version).
Had no problems until last night when I let the phone run the battery all the way out and die completely. I let it charge for a bit, then tried booting and I'm stuck at the Google logo or get a reboot during the boot animation, depending on what I'm doing.
So here's what I've tried. All of these come with a wipe/cache/Davlik inbetween:
flash Vicious Toro JB V3 (stays on Google logo)
flash VanirBEAN v7 (reboots at VanirBEAN animation)
flash AOKP build 37 (reboots on the TeamKang animation)
selectively restore boot and system for AOKP 37 from a previous stable backup (reboots at the Android boot animation since in the ROM I had it set to not show the TeamKang boot animation)
I'm really at a loss right now. I'm trying a full restore on the backup I did before installing my first JB ROM.
edit: tried a full restore and i'm getting "Error while restoring /data!"... ugh.
Is my only choice to try Wugfresh's toolkit and restore stock and relock?

No one tried to fix permissions?
3x wipes, superwipe scripts..
That's not gonna help. If you wiped it once, it isn't there anymore.

I used wugfresh to back from fresh start and still if I flash jb rom I'm stock in jb rom.. done with 3 different jb rom. Same on all of them.. and yes I also did fix permission... I also did about mount and unmount regarding the system,cache and data... I'm tired of flashing and waiting in boot loop so I restore to ics gummy. I hope someone can help us with this...

I suppose you could try reinstalling the bootloader, or using one of the recent JB bootloaders and see if that helps. I can't think of a good reason why this should be happening based on what you've described, however. I assume you've checked obvious stuff like the MD5 sums on all your downloaded ROMs, etc?

Hi everybody!
I have identical issue, I did all possible, now I´m close to give it up. Yes, I checked all downloaded files by MD5 sums, I tried latest CWM, latest TWRP, gnex-JB-bootloader (…lc03). Today I tried also “Super_Wipe_Lite_Nexus”, but I can´t jump boot animation. I´m flashing roms long time, but this magic never happened. What else we should try to clear/delete?

Touchscreen not working on stable CM9 FXP133

I installed the stable cm9..flashed the fxp133 kernel..the installation went smooth but my screen touch function is lost..Any ideas??
Eventually restoring to the stock kernel with JJ hybrid..and yeah the touch is working with this one. So is the problem cos of the kernel or the ROM??
I ll tell the sequence which i followed..let me know where i went wrong..i downloaded the ROM, extracted the boot.img, copied the original cm9 zip into the root of SD..used fastboot mode of flashtools to flash the kernel boot.img..then went into CWM..wiped out SD data..then cache..and then dalvik..and then proceeded to install zip from sd..it installed fine..and then i rebooted..it showed d FXP kernel logo and then CM9 bootscreen and then it loaded like it should..BUT the touchscreen isnt working at all..the hardware keys-power and back i checked were working but not the touchscreen..
Where did I go wrong..i am on baseband -72..bootloader unlocked..

You've installed correctly. Possibly a corrupt download, try re-downloading the zip.

I downloaded both official stable CM9 as well as the FXP one on uploaded.to...tried with each of them but with the same result..both cant be corrupt n it wouldnt have extracted if it was a corrupt download anyways..m still wondering whats wrong..
Also I flashed doomkernel and tried installing..again the same..touchscreen still doesnt work..aarghh..

Flash the kernel, wipe data, system, cache, dalvik, battery stats and flash cm9.
It should work...

Wiping battery stats does nothing to your phone. It doesn't change anything, it doesn't affect anything. It cannot be the problem.

Then what do u think the problem is..infact the installation works fine so i think i m not messing up anything on that front..

Probably best to use flashtool to flash stock ics rom and kernel, then cm9 kernel/rom.

I would try another Kernel ... do you have an Arc or Arc S ... does someone know if it makes a difference ?

[Q] where can I get a stable JB 4.1 for CWM T989!

I have been looking all over and my eyes are about ready to have a critical meltdown.
I have a T-Mo T-989 (Hercules) and have been looking for a JB ROM all night and found some shady threads or ROMs that don't work. I dunno, maybe I've installed something wrong, little help here?
Generally the ones that will install get hung up during the initial boot, wtf? Have run across some that wouldn't even install and would abort.
I should say I am using CWM 5.0.2.6... I think, its been so long since I have done anything to this phone so I forget but I know its ither Odin or CWM (or are they both one in the same? x.x ) I've been using Darkside Evolution ICS ROM all this time and would be nice to move up to JB if there is a stable one out there

Have you tried vincom's cm build? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886009 its very stable. Been using it for 9 days now without a single SOD or RR. To get the best results I recommend using TWRP. Just head over to the play store and download GooManager. Open, grant superuser, hit menu, then click on "install open recovery script". Go through the prompts and it will download and install TWRP. The method I use for flashing was: Darkside superwipe, ROM, gapps. (I did not use the super light gapps because the home button doesn't work when I do and it doesn't auto restore my apps)

Hmm, well I got goo manager and its now stuck on the TWRP's boot screen and just reboots after so long of sitting there :/ and its already deleted the rom, so I guess I have to go through the CWM rooting proceeders again?

Well I have managed to get CWM5 back on it and got a working ROM for now but it seems when I do the method you imply it flukes and freezes at the TWRP boot screen. I followed ye the best way possible, maybe there is an alternative way?
I have tried installed Vincom's JB all versions and it comes back as error then aborts install or it installs but sits at initial boot for more than 25min and does nothing I've found that while the warning say give it 10min to boot is generally just a 'just in case' scenario since the T989's processors are considerably powerful.
I have tried to get the ROM onto the phone's internal memory and install from there like Vincom said but the computer won't read the phone for some reason >.<

i would say, to use twrp and download the latest cm10 Here.
i recommend twrp for stable flashing cause there's bugs in latest cwm...

Not entirely true. Contrary to what everyone has been saying, and im not trolling just saying from personal experience - cwr 5.0.2.7 and dark side wipes have yet to give me problems I was on the majority if not all jb roms with no issues other than rr/sod which was before the kernel fix.
I'm a noob and expect that 90% of the people here kno more than I do but I wish someone could explain to me why the scripts and cwr 5027 are suddenly so bad.

CWR 5027 isn't bad at all it's just that using darkside scripts with certain new recoveries has caused some people boot loops and also with the newer recoveries they aren't required since the built in wipe options work just fine.Personally I use the recovery here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844637
and have had zero issues with it plus it has the darkside scripts built in

I would recommend trying either AOKP OFFICIAL Build 5 (not sure if by time you read this if theres a newer one) or a CM10 Nightly. I've tried tons of different JB roms from 4.1 to 4.1.2 and those work good. Decent battery life without changing too many settings (I'm afraid to change too many things because I've hard bricked my phone before but barely got it replaced under the 20 day full exchange warranty). No random reboots or force closes for me so far. Highly recommend trying them out, very simple to flash.

Been on the official aokp and its amazingly stable better then anything jb rom I tried on the s2 battery is excellent too

Actually... I have CMW6 now the touch one. Does that have something to do with it? The main issue I have with SBean and CM9's JB is eveyrone complains that they can't hear me, that I sound like a robot and the call is badly broken up or that I'm not speaking up like my mic isn't picking up on my voice very well.
Is this a ROM error or a kernel error? rather annoying frankly @[email protected]

This is a sure fix then? This would make me the happiest Porsche Husky on Earth if I could go back to Sbean
The customization features of it are to die for

Ooooo, wait a tic... I feel like such n00b now...
I kept downloading V1 thinking it was the newest one xD I think the V6 at the way bottom is the newest one. I'll try that for a few days then report back.
Edit: QUESTION - my screen is flickering (just installed SBEAN V6)... is that a bad install or did I have to fix permissions?

That pretty common in most JB rom but it usually goes away after few mins for me. You can go to settings and then developer options then disable hw overlay but you would need to do it on every boot because it won't stick after a reboot.
Btw you should check out official aokp-milestone-1 it not on here but Google aokp and download the one for our phone. Its pretty sick and stable.
