Ok people I am thinking of getting the xperia arc S, and I just wanna know how good does it run cm10 or any other 4.1 build be it aokp or whatever else. Now I want your honest opinions please along with if the phone overheats with it or camera or whatever. Please.
Current phone: xperia x10.

Well it's pretty definite that arc s is a step up from x10. I can't say about custom roms (although I have Jelly sandwich and it's fast) but I can say that the camera is top notch and the phone does overheat if it's been used heavily on stock rom. To be honest, if you root it, run a custom rom, the 270 dollars you get the phone for will run just as well as a dual core

Thanks for the reply, and what of this "Jelly sandwish" does it over heat with it like it does with the stock rom with alot of use?

it's a custom rom among many many others in the Android Development section of Xperia Arc. Depending on which rom you use, overheating would either be a problem or not, in my case with jelly sandwhich, it doesn't exist

I think Ultimate ROM is faster than JS
The phone doesnt overheat with normal usage, it gets heat because of gaming, calls, or web browsing, but you can watch movies, play music, read docs and other normal stuff without overheat
I think I can fry an egg with my GS2, but the arc s only get overheat with games like dead space...
My brother have a X10 with CM7 and the arc s is smoother even with stock rom

I'm looking for an ICS ROM which doesn't mess with my battery because of wifi drivers, half of my ram, can't record video and can't run GTA3 for more than eight seconds (...*cough*CM9*cough*...)
I'm looking for something that can play Shadowgun with Xperia controls, AOSP themed, runs fast, deodexed, isn't a ram or battery hog, and is fast.
Can't choose between Darkforest ICS, ICS++ and many others so I'm asking, what would be the best ROM for gaming and speed?

Lol me too. Im in DarkForest now, but will try ICS++ later this day. Personally i don't have a problem with Darkforest as my problem is in ICS Beta itself that can see in every ICS based ROM, atleast someone said that to me.
But ICS++ looks promising as i really dig the AOSP look and everything.

But does Darkforest play HD games with Xperia controls as expected? Also, what is this *problem* you are talking about?

Wait for official ICS
All the current ICS roms have issues in one way or another and don't work as well as stock gingerbread.

If you want to play games, bug free, stick with GB for now

Hi my wifes Arc S is starting to annoy her its starting to get laggy
and she has dropouts when using GPS.
She is currently on GB Rom
I am an experience android user and do understand that the best way is to
try each ROM yourself. But because it us her phone I just don't want to spend
time messing around on it and just give her something that works.
Looking for most stable ICS/GB whether it be offical stock or custom rom
no interested in overclocking
excellent battery life
excellent data/wifi/gps
doesn't have to be superfast - stability is more important
So i am looking for ROM (ICS/GB/Custom), Kernel & Baseband
most stable cum battery friendly cum good performance is Arconium series..Arconium ICS is really good..if u want to try GB then try Arconium 8 GB edition..they all are modified stock ROMs..use stock kernel for best battery life if you dont undervolt or overclock..
The all stock ICS is really good. Install it with pc companion if avalible. Boot once. Then do a backup and a repair flash to get it smooth with pc companion
As said the arconium is very good, so is the KA20 ics rom too.

My GF has the 4.0.4 ICS Stock on her ARC S. she loves it... wont let me touch it...
ICS seams to have come in leaps and bounds as far as speed / ram management goes. (long term laggyness)

I had supercharged 100 % and I was playing angry birds Rio and red bull x fighters. But suddenly, It had been stopped when I done to next level whether I got scored. I had finished this level and when I continued to next level unfortunately it had stopped and lagged like jammed. What solution to resolve full working gaming on my arc ICS ?
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
Currently there are many gaming issues on ICS ..if you are a hardcore gamer ,i suggest u should roll back to GB ...I can't play The Amazing Spider Man on ICS ,it crashes every 2min.when i play in GB it runs smooth and no crash...
Think for a second, maybe the game has a problem with levels - stages (especially small 3d games)
but its true ICS is not good for gaming, especially in smoothness and performance, im currently on ICS 4.0.4 (arconium ICS) and i get lag with KTG anzu kernel v1.41
and im currently thinking of going back to GB

the Amazing Spiderman works well on my Arc stock ics 4.0.4 . Not crash or force close. Only small lags.
I also played Backstab but It didn't smooth, What should I do ?

Sell your Phone and get an iPhone. As someone who has ROM in the development section I find it baffling why you feel the need to start so many threads on so many subjects.

It's not a secret is it that gaming on ICS is quite poor, it's no secret because there have been a few threads in regards to the issue, non of which has offered a solution, so to start yet another thread asking how to improve gaming on ICS is, well, I'll refrain from being rude.
hello :cyclops:
i have the arc s lt18i.
in the beginning i flash the official sony ics release and i compare it to the samsung galaxy s1 - i9000 with custom rom (run ics).
the result is that the galaxy s1 much faster and smoother then the arc s. all the menus are much faster and the youtube app much much smoother. - the arc s is laggy and dont smooth in youtube app when i move from comments section to "other videos" section,when i scrolling in the "comment" section or "other videios" section.
i think thatthe official rom is the problem so i flashed ics jj hybrid rom.
now the phone is fast but not like the samsung galaxy s1 :crying:
the ypuyube app is very lag when i play a clip and navigate in the "comments" section, which in galaxy s1 is smooth!
as much as i know the arc s have a 1.4ghz and better specs
so what is the problem? is the samsung galaxy s1 is really better then the arc s?
thanks! :good:
Did you flash any custom kernel ? Its pretty fast for me ..

ArcKnight Kernel
I tried the arcknight kernel but my phone was even slower and had problems with its signal, now I'm using the stock kernel with cwm and xperia ice bean ROM.

Usually the purpose of a kernel is to over/under clock so go ahead and try doing that

hmm.. so the galaxy s1 with the 1ghz is better then the arc s with 1.4ghz?
because i did not overclocked both of them and the galaxy s1 is much faster.
do you guys have the same lags in the youtube with the scrolling? (while the video playing)
thank you guys for your comment!
Dont Forget
Dont forget that your galaxy S is using a custom rom. Considering if it were on a stock ROM performance would be better on the arc S considering that it is on 4.0.4

what is the matter?
ok but i dont see differences at all in the arc s or the galaxy s1.. i mean the ics look and everything is exactly like the arc s jj hybrid ics.
everything is the same!!! like they both based on ics!!!
but the old galaxy s1 wins for sure

I'm not really sure what your getting at and also the way of using your device could matter. Considering benchmarks the arc S would win for sure whereas in day to day use like you say the galaxy s could be better
Good day, Kudos !

Same problem with my Xperia Arc (ICS) ..
I think Sony mess up with ICS firmware. The phone was great and game friendly with GB, with official ICS it's laggy and don't play many games. I'm with a locked bl based on the 431 firmware. I've tried some roms and finally stick with pureness 10 V6 supercharged. Games won't play, but the phone is more reponsive, with less launcher restart. But overall the phone is slower than my old Desire with CM7

Unlock your bootloader , flash a custom kernel , flash a custom ROM ... Then you will see how fast it can perform...
BTW the galaxy s is probably on a custom kernel which is overclocked , running a custom supercharged ROM...

I don't want to unlocked bootloader and lost warranty and drm right And i don't think that putting a custom kernel made such a difference. But why Sony can't simply release a good rom is beyond my understanding. Why with GB i have no problem to play Angry birds and Asphalt 6 and when i upgrade to ICS, i must sometime reboot to play Angry bird because of touchscreen problem and can't play Asphalt 6 because of lack of usable memory. Maybe it's Google fault too, with ICS to big for 2011 smartphone, or bad Sony rom, but the result is here, unhappy customer, who are think twice before buying a sony phone in the future

If you are not satisfied with ICS then just downgrade to GB... Simple as that...

Yep ! Back to the future is probably the best solution, maybe i'm asking too much to Sony to hope a ICS as good as a GB They now concentrate on lauching too many new phones
Hi all!
I'm not sure if this is the write section for this kind of a question,but...
So i'd like to know if Xperia Arc is getting a new update or latest update 4.1.B.0.587 is the last one.I like ICS UI it's nice,but it sucks with most games,cam recorder doesn't work very well and battery,in other words ICS on xperia arc just sucks,so i would like to know if is sony going to do anything better for arc ICS.If not i just don't want to waste my time on looking for how to make ICS better on my arc.I know there are lots of ROM with tweeks,but even with them i can't get my games to work as they work on GB,about camera it's not a big deal,there is cyber-shot mod for ICS so that should solve it,but i need games,to get my time pass.Thanks.
Hi this is the right place.
Yes theres a new update coming to our arc/s, but we dont know when.
Actually imo the ICS is waaay better than GB. im all stock with bloatware removed/deactivated and the most important im usig the new gpu libs. This gave me avg. 5-10 more FPS. Thats a big deal. Im having the same battery performance on ICS as on GB

ICS is better when stripped of bloatware and tweaked, otherwise it's much more useless than GB
