[Q] Best rom to sell arc S with - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm upgrading to HTC One X+ and painfully selling my arc S (white, 32GB).
The person I sold the phone to (I'll deliver it on next monday) is a very basic user. Almost ignorant. The important things are: have good battery life and no bugs.
It's not important to have a lot of resourses or a highly customizable enviroment, just something stable.
Do you guys think I should downgrade to stock rom? I don't think so...
Should I downgrade to a good GB rom? Maybe...
What do you guys think?

which are the best ROM for arc/arcs xperia mod/arconium/cm7

hey guys any idea which is best for you?
The best stock based ROM is imo Acronium, but I like CM7 more.
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
nice love CM7 too
Stock+tweaks is the best! Since you can utilize all features of your phone with stock only! Hence acronium or xperia mod gets my vote. Both of them are nearly identical since they are based on stock ROM.
What's better:
xperia mod or arconium?
Just tried arconium and I'm liking it so far.

No the best ROM is SE Tweaked 0.8.5 compaed to any other stock or custom build. Team it with Doomkernel and you have a superb lag free fast phone.. For me CM always appeared dull compared to the stock ROMs. And typical to any CM ROM it had missing features and poor battery.

which one of these ROMs holds longer battery life ?

With cm you also cant use the keyboard in landscape properly without hammering the space bar key which is pretty retarded imo. Also the camera sucks. Im on stock with doom kernel personally. I had a look at arconium but couldn't really see any benefit over stock rom same with xperia mod. Might give se tweaked a go though.
what about stock .62 ? anyone used it ?
Which are the best ROM for battery??? Arconium, xperiamod or se tweaked??? Only expert please and one reason thanks

I have used Arconium with doomlord kernel for few weeks now. Very good battery usage in my average use (2 days usualy). I tested few roms and always went back to stock, before I found Arconium.
SoftWhite MIUI! I love it!
i Use FXP104 an i love it, the only think i dont like is that the batterie lasts not very long
my vote for Arconium with DooMKernel
..fast, no lags, and battery drain is excellent
I'm happy with stock 042 but I'm thinking to give a try to Arconium....
Do it
I regret that I waited till I tried it, it's AWESOME!

Can I add the Bravia Engine and SE camera app in Arconium?
can any of these roms be installed on a rooted & recovery installed but LOCKED BOOTLOADER Arc S?? reason i ask is that i used to use a W8 & i didnt unlock bootloader on that but i was still able to flash custom roms in it......i m really very apprehensive about unlocking bootloader in case i brick it or something

Q - ICS rom's

I flashed icelite for a while but found it to be not as fast as the miui rom I had been using
It now seems everyone is one ics and i just wanted to see if i could get some feedback on the roms before i pick to flash
So i just wondered if people if they wouldnt mind start giving me a little insight into the ics rom's and how they are performing ?
icelite is just ok,same as other ics for arc,just the problem is ics itself,maybe not as stable as gb,i think maybe because it cannot control multitasking as good as gb,when you close an app and starting new app,the recently closed app will just running,so it might cause lag,it is not killed or freeze,just my opinion,correct me if im wrong
from the ARC
There are a few scripts/tweaks to be found in the android threads that vastly improve ALL roms. I'd recommend supercharger by zep, amongst 2 or 3...

Flashed jj rom but in comparison it is slow compared to miui
How is ics better at the moment I don't get it ?

Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
Agree with you there, it's not a vast difference like 1.6 to 2.1 was. Probably the only reason I'm staying on ics is for chrome browser, tbh.

All the Ics roms are in beta stage. They are not ready for every day use.

Went back to arconium 2.3.4 ROM after 20-30mins on arconium ICS ROM.
Gingerbread blows ICS out of the water at the moment.
I hope that changes when offcicial ICS comes out

Its just really laggy no noticeable improvements that make me want to flash it again
Miui ics has issues like no data so at the minute ics just doesn't appeal to me other than ics battery life
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
Going to try ics again for the silliest reason becuase my key lights dont work on miui
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
Stock ics beta is flawless with wifi enabler and v6 supercharger. Everything works, have been using it for 2 weeks now without any problems.
But gingerbread has more available mods and is rock-stable.

Data works on cm9. It's by no means a perfect ROM, but I love running the very latest Cyanogenmod, you can even overclock the kernel!

Well, Iam using ICS and it`s pretty smoth and fast... Ofc i use SuperCharge V6. there are still no overclocking kernels up yet. Hope they will be released soon!
Guys,
I am using KA 07 Ice Cream Sony Rom and it is by far d best ICS rom among others. I am a huge fan of Xperiamod but KA07 ICS is far better than XperiaMod ICS.. Do try it..

[Q] WIfe friendly rom, Kernal etc...

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)

arc s laggy compare to galaxy i9000

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

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

Stock works great, it's fast and responsive, unless you have to have root, I wouldn't bother at the moment.
I used ARHD on my HTC One X because it was better than stock but JB on the Note 2 is super!

yup me too. i flash arhd 1.1 on my note 2 and it feels a lil laggy. It even make my 3g connection crawl like a tortoise. I was quite dumbfounded cos i tot it suppose to perform better. But wen i flash it back to stock. it feels so much better n my 3g connection was fast as per normal. so i shall stick to stock while the roms gets improved in due time
Ive been using the Perseus alpha24 kernal for a few days now, smooth fast and noticablely better battery life, havent tried a ROM yet, like you, waiting till they are a bit better.
Yes, I agree.
For now, stock is the best for stability and performance.
It needs time to make custom rom better than stock
imho
Stock forever.
I think its a very subjective topic and its only a matter of time before the mods close this thread (maybe)...
I personally like stock on Note 2. Nothing more needed
Unless it AR HD! Well thats stock too

I don't see why they will close this thread I'm just asking for your experiences with custom roms and I'm sharing mine, I'm not wasking what is the best roms amongst all the roms available on the forum but just if at the moment the stock is better than any other custom roms that's all.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Yeah, I have not used custom roms atm, I just disable what I don't want and that's it. But I wish there was a vanilla Jellybean to try out. Don't need overclocking, but I want undervolted rom to squeeze more juice.
It's nice to know that some of you love the stock experience out of the box. I'm getting my Galaxy Note 2 in November. Obviously many of us like to tinker, so I'm already pleased that the list of custom roms is growing for the Galaxy Note 2.
im flash addict and always was using custom rom but for note 2 stock+root=the best
To me Note 2 needs no rooting and flashing, works great the way it is and I like it that way.
