yes you can ... new post in development with autoflash ... will flash your arc/arc s with ics beta 4.03 .... its great ,works great ,but you need unlock bootloader
you can try it. Bugs are very minimum and fixable

Its ARC (Lt15i)
I have it now and would recommend you to wait... It is quite slow at times... But if you can live with it then give it a go.. I use the Xperia mod and it is great

Hi, i am noob about porting ROM, so here i want to ask developer how to port another rom ( especially custom ROM ics from xperia arc) to our xplay?
Maybe thread or post will important.
Why xperia arc?, there are many beautiful n powerfull custom ROM there, n our hardware is little different ( gamepad), and we got ics beta n it's kernel that maybe will get easier to port ROM.
Thanx for ur attention...

thank u.....
Well stock ICS is pretty bad and laggy so you can look for custom roms like CM... Sony didn't make a very good ICS update even though they released it early. I recommend custom roms However if you want to keep your BL locked, there are roms that are for you too just search and you shall find

I'm assuming your phone's bootloader is locked (which is normal), so here's 2 roms that are pretty popular, based on ics, and makes your phone run like dual core
Jelly Sandwhich
Xperia Ultimate HD

Don't listen to these helmets bad advice stock 587 is great. Stay clear of supercharger it will cause a tonne of lag on ics.

Custom roms based on stock ics is better than stock ics.

I don't know how you use your phone or what you do to it but for me CM is soooo much better than any version of stock ROM especially since it's based on JB

My opinion is upgrade to ics and install Potomac custom rom

I agree with lofty, the stock ICS .587 is working great. Very stable and everything works 100%. My own experience with custom roms and super duper extremely fast scripts is also that they create more problems and makes your phone unstable or cause other unexepected behaviors.
It is an "old" phone with single core and no super scripts or custom roms will make up for the single core and low memory. And yet it is my preffered phone on .587 even compared to my wifes experia S.
I have no issues with the stock rom. I updated andreo libs (gpu drivers)
Now the rom is even more faster

It is not as smooth as GB for me. Fairly laggier, do you guys agree?
+1, had been using stock Ics and custom roms for sometime then back to arconium gb. It's still the best rom for my arc S.
I'm using 587 fw on my Neo and is running very smooth ( almost like GB) but it is almost unusable for hard games. But i'm not using it for gaming, i'm using it more for media, and with the latest apps from Xperia T, is awesome. So if you want to use it more for gaming, stay with Gingerbread, otherwise upgrade to ICS because IMO is way better than Gingerbread. BTW, i've tried almost every custom rom, and always i've returned to stock, because it's simply the best.

Stock ICS .587 is excellent. There are a lot more features in it than in GB, I didn't notice any speed difference between GB and ICS other than the Google voice search and Recent apps (hold menu button) take a bit longer to start up the first time (they are quick after that).
I would recommend rooting ICS using this guide: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119?start=0&tstart=0
Rooting will allow you to run an app from the Play Store which can uninstall those pesky bloatware apps.
And if you suppercharge ICS it's even better - even if you only supercharge 50%!!!!

It's laggy thanks to bloatware and not being fully optimized. Custom ROMs and/or tweaking at your own will remove lag problem!

Hmm not really. Maybe in some games... Just root, de-bloatware, update adreno libs and install supremacy script, and the GB smoothness is there
Stock ICS is ram hungry and not meant for phones like arc s lacks.

True, stock rom,bloated its very ram consuming,but debloated, it becomes the best ICS rom (160-170
mb of free ram)

I was wondering if it's possible to convert a stock ICS xperia rom to a NXT ICS rom? One motive is that i want to be able to use the nxt lockscreens on my stock based ICS rom (Primarily the xperia z lockscreen) because non NXT roms are unable to use the UxpNxtLockScreen.apk
there is a patch( xperia s lockscreen mod i think)
if you use that patch you can use UxpNxtLockScreen.apk and xperia z lockscreen in a rom
i had it on ics fixed
Oh yea? Do you have a link?
