Has anybody converted his Arc to Arc S ??

Has anybody converted his Arc to Arc S ??
Wotanserver says you can flash an Arc S firmware to and Arc phone, but I have not tested it yet. Has anybody had the guts to try ??
Also, and as long as I understand (please correct me if I'm wrong), the only difference between the Arc and Arc S is firmware (same chip, just overclocked)

Arc S has different processor.

I'm gonna dig deeper into that "T" difference

if im not mistaken the only difference are their clock speed.

Is that really a difference?

Just flash Arc firmware on Arc, oc to 1.4GHz and voila --> Arc @ Arc S

Other than the overclocked chip, no

14.4Mbit/s antenna in the Arc S is a difference

It just means that it's been "factory overclocked", tested extensively in higher frequencies.

hi
a lot's of people does not understand your question......
can The ARC-s bsband (Kernel , etc) flashed to an ARC to use (cheat) the ARC hardware for ARC S ?
i think this can be reality - BUt maybe nobody have flashed the arc S FW to and ARC to try it. ?!?!?

Arc with Arc S kernel will still boot @ 1GHz
Just use Doom's kernel and oc it, best and easiest way.
I know that the Arc S has the same CPU as Arc, just tested at higher frequencies, but why can almost every Arc S run stable @ 2GHz and just a few Arc?

Not really, but... ok!

they have different touchscreen and display drivers. the partitions of ROM are different. so you probably cannot flash ftf bundle for arc s on arc. get prerooted arc s stock rom zip and put it on arc. take oc kernel fron doom, patch up the baseband too if you want.

i think the "T" in the cpu name means that arc s cpu is an upgraded version of the arc cpu. they must have add something on the hardware, not just overclocked by software. that's why it's more stable at higher clock (2GHz).
besides the cpu, everything looks the same to me

se dev relations manager "kalle d" said on the ics alpha thread that arc and arc s have diff partition tables and diff display drivers.

[Q] RAM

Is there a way to use the entire 512mb ram rather than just 410mb?
Devs have been able to do it for zte blade via a kernel mod...
Can anyone do it for wfs?

Not sure I'm near sure the rest of the ram is being used by the gpu for rendering the graphics etc but ill look into it.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using xda premium

I know for sure you can't do anything about it on the Desire Z. I would be about 99% sure it's the same for WFS - i.e. the rest is used by system stuff (e.g. the radio).
The RAM should be plenty anyway, don't worry about it.

You could use swap memory, it won't speed up your phone idk how much, but it might actually help in critical moments ...

That's a bloddy good question. Even if you loaded in the whole of cm7 AT ONCE you wouldn't get that much ram usage.. not if it was on its own anyway.

I don't think you need anymore RAM Memory. It's really no point of doing that.

I don't think it's possible, and if it is, why would you need it?

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 ..

i flashed 431 kernel with cwm.
a custom kernel really Influencing the speed?
when you scrolling in the the comments of a music video on youtube the scroll is not smooth? (while the music video is playing)
p.s can ypu give me a good kernel that support jj hybrid rom?
thanks man

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

Best ROM for gaming on R800X?

I messed up on my last post :/
I'm looking for the best kernel & rom to use on my xperia play R800X, looking for something with all the features, good game compatibility, more free ram, and more free internal memory. Can someone point me in the right direction?:crying:

After trying few ICS Rom available for our phone, i came to conclusion that there's no better ROM for gaming on R800x beside GB ROM,
so now i'm using GBTweaked ROM + Doom's Kernel V2,
so far so good, Gaming with all compatibility, Bravia Engine, Overclocking ability and else... good internal memory & ram as well..
u still need to de-bloat some stuff though... especially if u r like me who didn't use verizon as carrier

Good information, would you say GB tweaked along with doomkernel V2 is better than the stock 2.3.3?

GB tweaked is based on stock 2.3.3 as the rom says its "tweaked." No big improvements other than its debloated and added A few changes to your build prop.

Best GB ROM?

hi im planning to flash my play into gb from ics(i know you know why..), Can someone give me what is the best GB rom for these 3 great roms..
jis2jellybean, NXT, or Trueancestor?? TIA

Personally I used to use JokaWilds ROM and it was by far the best GB ROM I ever used on my Xperia Play.
It looks like most people tend to favour TrueAncestor.
