[ROM] Android Froyo 2.2 - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Im searching for a Android 2.2 Froyo Custom Rom for my Arc S.
Is there someone who knows a Rom that looks like that?
Thanks!

It is not exist

Lol the arc was released on gingerbread not froyo
Are you looking for a froyo look alike ROM or an actual ROM built on froyo?

Short answer: No. Sony did not make froyo firmware for "any" of it's mobile.
Long answer:
I had Xperia 10 and I remember Sony saying eclair is better than froyo. (I agree). and they will skip froyo and give gingerbread firmware update directly.
And after using froyo on my friends (Samsung) mobile I was so happy that I did not use that horrible froyo firmware.
If you must you can find decent froyo Rom in cyanogenmod archives.

As everybody has stated, there is no stock or custom version of Froyo for the Arc or Arc S - it was never released by Sony.
There are, however, stock and custom versions of Gingerbread if you're after a ROM that's really light on system resources (CM7.2 or Arconium are good custom Gingerbread ROMs).
But with the Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean ROMs that developers are releasing, there really isn't any reason to stick with an 'ancient' OS.
I've personally been using the AOKP Ice Cream Sandwich ROM and it's perfect! I can't fault it at all. I'm just waiting until the AOKP Jelly Bean ROM get's branded as stable and then I'll begin using that full time.

[Q] base 2.3.7 ROM

Does anyone know where I can get a Basic ROM based on 2.3.7?
There is no base 2.3.7 rom for the evo. 2.3.3 is the latest official rom. 2.3.7 only added google wallet support for the Nexus S, thats it.

[Q] Gingerbread MIUI

What is the best and fastest gingerbread MIUI rom? Also, if I add the most recent FXP 7.2 files to Blend Miui speed porting app, can I make my own rom? Our must I keep the files that are already there? Abby advice would be great!!!
Sent from my LT15i using xda app-developers app
None. Its officially available for ICS only (talking about Arc here) there's some poor attempts to make a GB one, but nothing worth trying
If you want a good MIUI rom, lite on resources, I strongly recommend Arconium MIUI 2.5.11 with Stock with CWM kernel :good:
And I can't help you with the other part of your quest, better if someone who knows about porting answers you
this is best miui GB for arc/s and ray,neo

JB on locked BL

Hello. Sadly, mine Arc S is not unlockable. So my question is can I install jellybean on it?
Also I googled this but the data is old.....is there a mod to make this great phone record in 1080p?
jb custom roms are still in alpha/beta stages so upgrading to them from your locked bootloader wouldnt be great.
try out custom ICS roms by diffrent devs there are many in dev section. many of them even work on unloacked bootloaders. subsequently you can shift to aokp fxp jb roms with more stable releases .
Phones with locked bootloaders can only use ROMs that are stock based... that means that you would need Sony to release JB stock ROMs first... which they have announced they won't, so, just like my Xperia Pro with locked bootloader, we won't have a JB ROM.
On the other hand, there are some great ICS ROMs out there that can be flashed on phones with locked bootloader that feature a lot of JB system apps, they are great, you should try them... they are far better than stock ROMs anyway

[Q] There Is the ROM ported official ICS ROM ?

I've know that
- 2011 devices are arc, Ray, Play, Neo, Pro
- They have officilal ICS ROMs.
- But only Play doesn't have.
It is right?
Actually I want official ICS ROM,
not custom rom.
Although its perfomence isn't good.
I just want to flash.
So...
there is any ICS ROM ported official ROM of other devices?
As similar as possible official ROM.
Thanks.

Ics beta for play,its official
http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/2c02/hwa6wevxht5aumsfg.jpg?size_id=5
Well, Neo L have (exactly) same hardware as Play (minus touchpads and physicly reversed camera) and it has official ICS. Few roms are based on that ics:
TrueAncestor, ICS Original+, Neo2Play, or you can just flash Neo L firmware if you want the "true taste" of (bloated ) ICS.
There are also Xplaystation ROM and Johnnzy's ROM based on ics beta for Play, fully working.
Working good on any kernel for Play (doomlords, lupus or turbo kernel).

I know it can be confusing, so it is best to flash kernel recommended by rom owner.
But, i can try to explain:
There are two (2) type of roms:
-Stock (based on sony's firmware)
-Aosp (or aokp, cm or miui)
So, you have Stock gb and ics, but no Stock jb.
For Aosp based roms, you have cm7 as gb based, cm9 as ics based and cm10 as jb based (i don't know what is miui based on)
To be able to boot rom, you need kernel that match type of rom you want to install.
Some version of kernels can boot dual type roms:
Example:
1: ics/gb Stock - can boot ics and gb roms based on Stock firmware
2: ics/gb cm - can boot ics and gb based on aosp ics gb roms
3:lupus v8 jb can boot Aosp jb and Aosp ics roms, and MAYBE that's the
kernel you are searching.
The best way is to search in kernels thread based on rom you want to install

I didn't flash recently any miui roms, do they have kernel inside the rom's zip file? Or was it inside cm roms?

dude, that makes a lot of sense, ever since i installed the kernel that i mentioned earlier i have been having random issues with some custom roms
usun lupus ics v12 720 on verizon xperia play
Gin2jelly bean rom is not recognized by my computer and wom was amazing but i dont like when developers put too much apps in it . i guess the problem was the kernel i am using
ICE CREAM PURENESS : laggiest thing ever, dont know why
[ROM][GSM] Gamer 4 [Ultimate Sony experience], this rom i wanted to install because it has on screen softkey buttons. so i could use those instead of the hardware one, but have to uninstall because the didnt appear on screen and has lots of apps.
SLIMBEAN: WELL I COULDNT INSTALL IT AND KERNEL KEPT ON BOOTING LIKE CRAZY.
NOW I AM BACK WITH THE BEST ICS ROM IN MY OPINION THE TRUE ANCESTOR FINAL EDITION, WHICH I LOVE BUT IT DOESNT HAVE THE SOFTKEY BUTTONS
but now that you clarify this i might try to flash a jelly bean kernel since google claims that jellybean is the one to beat lag.
THANK YOU GUYS FOR REPLYING.
greetings from a real newbie
Well, just to add, if you want gaming perfomance, use gb roms. Ics is stable these days, but little slower then gb in gaming. Jb is only Aosp based, it's good in gaming, but some things are still "work in progress".
Ps: we where all noobs at some point
Ask whatever you want (just do not ask for ETA)

what does ETA mean? see i am a noob xD
ICSNEO2PLAY thats what i read at the end of all your posts, i assume you use that rom
TELL ME ABOUT THAT ROM, IT SEEMS THAT I CAN ALREADY INSTALL IT SINCE I HAVE AN ICS KERNEL.
DOES IT HAVE ON SCREEN BACK HOME AND TASK BUTTONS?

Eta is asking when something will come out. Neo2play is the Rom that he made and its in his Signature that's why you see it in all his posts. That rom doesn't haven't screen buttons but it does give you lots of choice in what you use to fully customize your phone through aroma installer. It should work if you have an ics kernel but it has to be a stock ics kernel not aosp. If your using true ancestor then that means neo2play should work on the sane kernel
Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
True ancestor rom, as my rom also, is based on Stock ics for Neo L (since that phone have exactly same hardware as play, minus touchpafs). My rom came out later, but i modded it more, and put aroma installer with bunch of rom options (gamers like less things installed, casual gamers sacrifice ram for the sake of extra stuff).
Some roms have osb (on screen buttons), but you'll have to search for it.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
If you really want osb then you can use markphytons nxt ics revolution rom. He removed it from xda but you can probably find a link for it somewhere in q&a section
