- In recovery wipe data and cache.
- In recovery flash the ROM.
- Reboot.
- In recovery flash Gapps and reboot.
Download:

What's working and what doesn't work?

AOKP for S???? Too excited. Will give it a try once I am home. I only hope all major features are working

Nice work I will try this when I get back, is there a certain baseband we need to be on?
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium

I don't know even if it boots...
Same baseband as CM9.

I've been porting it too so expect builds from me if OP doesn't get his device.

Since this is running on fxp kernel, I assume most of the essential things that make a phone a phone isn't working as well, am I right?

Anyone given it ago yet?? Has he managed to get the modem working when fxp cant? Nice to see some new Roms in this forum thanks
Sent from my LT26i using XDA

No, nothing modem related there. Same kernel...

stupid question: the buttons on-screen are there or they can be hidded and use the built ones?
i dont really know how to ask this in english, maybe you cant understand what im trying to say XD

In AOKP you can always switch the buttons on and off. Even if they are there by default, which I highly doubt, you'll be able to disable them in ROM Control.

I really hope major features are working. I'll try it tomorrow evening after job

Just want to announce that Venom and I decided to join forces. Having some schtuff I'll try to get, we might be able to get the baseband working

You have to use fxp kernel, bot the one uncluded in the zip.

Flash baseband after

Iv made a previous thread asking a question, but i just want to get this over and done with
im currently on CM7.2 baseband .56 (Gingerbread) and im wanting to go to Arconium 4.0 ICS, now this is where my question comes into play
in order for me to flash arconium it says i need to flash bb72 i cant be bothered right now upgrading to stock ICS 4.0.4 which i cant do through pcc cause i have a custom rom
can i do this... flash the kernel > flash arconium 4.0 ICS > then flash bb72
but if i do that will i still be on bb56 on arconium ICS and would that lead me to bootloops? this is a question im taking seriously cause if i get bootloops i cannot be f*cked going back to stock
EDIT: can i use bb56 on arconium 4.0 ICS and if so could i just flash bb72 after i have installed arconium?

go away mate, FOUFC

you could edit your old thread..
But yes everything shuold work like you said. Dont forget to flash the libs for the baseband

libs? sorry i havn't started on bb's yet

Every baseband patch need their own libs.. Look at the threads from there you get the baseband there should be the libs too

i really have no idea what u r talking about

You have the baseband file which you have to flash with flash tool.
But there are more files you need. These are called "libs" or libraries
theyre in a flashable zip which you flash through recovery.
Look at this thread. There are the ftf files for the flashtool and for the bb 72 the libs.
The libs for over baseband you can get by another thread.
But you dont have to update the baseband for ics. If everything is working dont flash the neweset.
I have bad wifi issues after i flashed bb72 and cant fix them even after flashing my old bb again

No one think to tell him to flash the full ftf then just install arconium? A lot less hassle.

[SOLVED] Trouble installing Ultimate HD rom for Arc LT15i

Hey, I've had a custom rom on my LT15i before but I thought I might try something new so I downloaded the Xperia Ultimate HD (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32375524) and ran it using CWM. The only step of the install I skipped was the custom kernel, because the link in the op post doesn't actually link to a custom kernel, just this empty reserved post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32375524&postcount=4).
My phone is already rooted and unlocked from the first time I installed a custom rom. I'm using CWM version v5.5.0.4 I assume that's what the kernel is?
I took the necessary steps in CWM but the first boot of the rom just freezes with Sony on the screen. So I imagine I'm missing the kernel that was an install step but wasn't actually linked at all? Could someone provide the kernel that goes with this particular rom or one that might work with the rom for an LT15i xperia arc?

Re: [Q] Trouble installing Ultimate HD rom for Arc LT15i
Go browse the dev section for the kernel that's been mentioned or find another stock based one.

Searching in the dev forum for "Xperia Ultimate Basic Kernel" just links back to the thread I started with. How do I know if a particular kernel will work with a particular rom? Do I really just have to pick one at random and hope for the best?

Re: [Q] Trouble installing Ultimate HD rom for Arc LT15i
Try stockbased kernel, like vengeance, lupus 9 etc.

I think I might have solved the problem, I just realised that the rom I was trying to flash was in fact a "mod" (with a similar name) and I'd been trying to flash that rather than the particular rom. Hours of time disappear over such a trivial mistake. Oh well, cheers for all the suggestions, hopefully this works.
Edit: Yep, turns out that's exactly what the problem was, this thread is SOLVED.

Screen problem only lupus v13 works

I've been trying to switch from jellybean back to GB. But every time I flash another kernel no matter which one I get a blank screen with only the backlight when I turn on the phone. Not even the kernel image or boot animation show up just a backlight. I've tried every kernel I could possibly find as well as flashing stock ft for my r800x. The only kernel that works with the screen is lupus jb v13. The weird thing is lupus v8 doesn't eben work nor turbo kernel. Lupus jb v13 is the only one that does. I wsd thinking it was a hardware problem but not sure because lupus jb v13 works fine except for when I slide open game pad I have to shut screen off and on for image to show up. Its been like this for a couple days and I finally decided I need help . So if you have any suggestions please help me. Thank you for reading my really long desperate plead for help

Just an idea, is it any command in build.prop to disable autobrightness? So you can change rom before flashing.
Or if you know how to blindly flash a rom (positions in cwr, name folder on sd card "AAA" so it can be first in the list).
Or maybe program on pc that can take screenshots so you can somehow disable autobrightness...
But it's probably hardware fault...

Did Wedgess released any versions between v8 and v13?
In he's changelog, in v9, there is an "Undervolt LCD display" feature. Maybe, but not nececcery, a thing that is lighting up your display...
What other kernels did you tried? All of them? All versions?

I tried doomkernel v14, lupus v12 gb, turbo kernel, stock, full stock ftf. I'll try lupus v9 to v12 jellybean and see if they work. If they do then that might be the problem. Thanks for a suggestion I'm dying to get this fixed because my play is basically useless on jellybean

i have only Lupus V12 (other then v13 and v8), i wasn't following it much, coz i'm mostly on ics roms...
As i recall, muiu have their own kernels too.
If wedgess only know what he changed in v13 (or less versions), it would be more helpfull for you

OK I tried lupus v10 to v13 minus v11 and they all worked. I haven't tried cm10 kernels yet. But this makes it look as if its some thing he changed in the newer versions. If only I could do the same thing in other kernels then they might work but wedgess doesn't have any time so I'm kinda stuck

Yeah, i saw your post in kernels thread.
I found link of how build kernel at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149508
I wanted to learn to build kernel from source, but unfortunately all my attempts to setup linux on virtual machine has failed (and linux is needed to build kernel from source).
I understand your frustration, since all jb roms have touchpad lag, and kinda kill the purpose of having Xperia play.

I know what the problem is though its the backlight. Because i flashed lupus jb v8 and a rom aand it worked but you can barely see the screen. So i think its because the backlight wont turn on. On fxp cm10 and lupus lupus jb13 it works by itself though. Ahhhhh this is so frustrating. I was just about to test dixperia 3 too and now i cant. For now im going to go back to jellybean but i really wanna get this fixed but im starting to get conviced its a hardware problem. I think ill take my phone apart and check

-try to turn on phone with opened gamepad
-try to flash kernel with opened gamepad
-flash kernel, turn off phone, pull out battery, try to turn on after 10 minutes
-boot into (jb) rom, from flashtool, select "boot into fastboot via adb"
-flash kernel only when the Moon is in 30 degree angle between Sun and Earth lol
Sorry man, i am getting out of ideas

im going to try everything you suggested except for the last one lol. I think if none of those work i might just give up. But does anyone know if kernel affects backlight in any way because thats the problem. With other kernels the backlight is off so even highering brightness doesnt help. But with the other two kernels fxp and lupus v13 it works fine. When i flashed lupus jb v8 after fxp cm 10 kernel last time it worked. I tried the same thing again but without any results
