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

I need opinions on what is considered to be the most stable rom for an unlocked & rooted Sony Xperia Play R800x
Honestly I feel stock kernel (MAYBE advanced stock)
And any custom gingerbread rom is pretty nice.
ICS will have bugs, And some graphic issues.
So until a real ICS is released, Gingerbread is better for stability.
Stock.

Hi,

Is there someone who knows a Rom that looks like that?
Thanks!

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.

Well, my question is: It is posible to build JB for stock kernel with bootloader locked?
If JB is coming for Arc/Arc S, then it would be possible, like on ICS. But there´s no JB Stock Kernel yet, so only in the future it may be possible.
Hi, I have a rooted xperia arc s (ics 4.0.4 [4.1.B.0.587]) i rooted it using the following guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219711
and my bootloader is locked. so my question is that can I flash custom roms without unlocking unlocking my bootloader, and if I can then how? or if I can't then how can i solve the problem?
please make your answer noob-friendly.
thank you in advance
I think you can install rom specifically made okay with locked bootloader try see development threads
you can't install custom kernel with locked bootloader through afaik

You can install Stock based ROMs such as Ultimate HD (most famous ICS custom ROM) or any other Ice Cream Sandwich based ROM. This means you can't install Jelly Bean, but look on the dev forums for [ICS] or [.587], there are a lot that even do have the jellybean statusbar and stuff like that. :3
