ICS on arc S is slow as hell

Hi, is it just me or arc S is really slow with ICS?
I tried official rom, mooded rom, Arconium with arknight kernel, stock kernel and doom, and in all roms the device run really slowly.
I tries to set cpu to 1600 mhz, but still its very laggy! do you have similar issues?
is there a fast rom out there? or should I move back to GB?

NO way, mine is super fast, faster than my GS2
Try arconium, but do a full clean, (format /system)

wipe all
format sd card
and install kernel + rom (or just reflash rom if ou want to keep your custom kernel)
micro sd class ? (4/6/10)
result in antutu bench?

yes, I tried all custom ROM and kernel out there and still the lag felt. Not super laggy but still more laggy compared to GB.

I already on arconium 8.2.

I want to flash a new Kernel and rom, which are the best in your opinion?

In my oppinion Arconium ICS 2.4 is really good...
I get around 2-3 days battery-life and is manageable snappy even with 100 apps

i used ICS very long but i have some problems with games(force closes) and speed then i flashed GB...unlocked my bootloader ... installed doomkernel and arconium 8.2...now i can do anything!! no force closes nothing! rom is very fast and yes i tryed stock GB too and this was a lot better than ics
P.S. sorry for english

Try Arc AOKP, with Sirkay AOKP kernel

One more thing, you don't have to overclock to 1600Mhz in order to get a fast/smooth experience, 1200Mhz is good enough for me.

well, i dont know if its tolate to say this, but maybe the source of the lag is the xperia launcher, im actually on arconium ics 4.0, at first i did experiment some lag, but then i deleted the xperia launcher and semc music from the system/app folder installed apex launcher with google play music, without overclocking, my arc started working like a charm, arc not arc s, so you can see its not a power issue, maybe your android experience demands more than ours? do you play hd games or use the internet regularly? ics is not laggy with software rendering enabled but the experience with heavy apps may vary becuase our arc comes only with 500mb ram.

If you want speed try arconium 8 (GingerBread)

Flash Arconium ICS or AOKP.

I got Arconium 4.0 and am very happy with it. The force close bug on games isn't related to the rom (it's becaus of ICS). try another kernel for testing! I use Xarc2.0 and it runs as hell! ;D

Definitely AOKP build 39 + sirkay AOKP kernel-fast as hell, stable and plenty of customization. latest kernel has some problems with video playback so might wanna try fxp 125 our the older one

[Q] which rom is the best ?

hi everyone!
I want to root and install a new rom on my friend's Xperia Arc ...
but I wanted to know which ROM is the best for high score benchmarks(like antutu) and the stabliest for the everyday use...
My option one is the JJ's HYBRID ROM v3.1
the 2nd Cyanogenmod nightly
the 3rd cyanogenmod stable...
if a better rom is not on the list please tell me
And can i overclock with the stock kernel of the stock ics ?
Cheers...

Arconium ICS V2.0 with Aroma installer
Mooded ICS 100.0 by Chaosfirzen

you need to root and unlock the bootloader... why would you have CM nightly 2nd and CM stable 3rd? and you can overclock the stock kernel but faliure can happen so use a custom kernel for OC
Arconium 4.0 ICS
CM7.2-Stable
heres a whole selection to choose from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653188

the best rom i would suggest is ka21 in terms of battery life while in idle mode, it gives me as low as 0.2 % battery loss per hour(measured using battery drain from play store). it is very diffrent and even has jellybean mod.
if you would want to overclock the stock kernel then use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673476 . if u have an unlocked bootloader, you can even flash custom kernels. note that an unlocked bootloader CAN be relocked.

for me its JJ's HYBRID ROM v3.1 which is good for everyday use.
UI wise for me its better looking with the original look and feel of the android 4, and usable than others.
But it all depends on personal preference.

I used every moded rom for xperia arc and i stayed with stock 4.0.4 with few modification (mainly Xperia S app, any modified sustemUI) and obviously DooMKernel chaos v5
With every moded rom I have some problems (Lockscreen stuck for few minutes <<i cant unlock phone>> , CM9 camera app sux, on JJ sometimes i cant answer the phone, ChaosFriZen eat battery in less than one day) Maybe my phone is "broke" but with stock rom I have no problems...

Arconium 4 with few files from KA21(SemcDlna.apk) and Xperia S apps
and KTG kernel
I tried Mooded but is full of bugs and not as fast as arconium

[Overclock] About overclocking with SetXperia?

Hello.
I Have my Arc S LT18i rooted and have the Ice Beam rom installed. Now i want to overclock my 1.4 GHZ CPU.
I Use SetXperia. However I get me bar no further than 1.4 GHZ. What am I doing wrong? I have given the app SuperUser permssion.
Thanks!

What kernel are you using?

Hmmm,
I have actually really no idea.
The only thing I have used is the following method and then the 3rd post.
And then the Arc S kernel. I then installed the Ice Beam ROM on here.

this tutorial is for 4.1.B.0.587 only!
1) flash the 4.1.A.0.562 kernel http://www.mediafire.com/?twn09p8ekug46f7 (thanks to sathurnn)
note: you might get errors after the reboot, don't worry, this is normal and step 3 will fix that.
2) root your Arc/s with DooMLoRD's tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1601038
3) flash the 4.1.B.0.587 kernel
Arc kernel only:

Arc S kernel only:
http://i.minus.com/1345808607/vsMMtn...ernel_only.ftf
Thanks, that's all that I know.

You need a kernel that's overclockable, and one that's for your FW.

Thanks. I know enough.

[Q][ARC] Overclocking kernel for stock ICS 4.0.4

Currently I'm using the stock ICS 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431) on my Xperia ARC LT15i with unlocked bootloader and thinking about overclock it, however, I couldn't find a custom kernel that gives me that possibility.
I've researched about DoomLord, Mesa and other ones but I only see custom works for ICS 4.0.3.
In case of anybody knows some good kernel for LT15 running ICS 4.0.4 I'd really apreciate if could tell me more about or indicate any research's source.
Thank you folks and sorry if this question is inappropriate.
Regards.

Hi,
There are many kernels for ICS in the development section. Most of them provides overclocking feature. You can try Arcknight, Xarc, Anzu and Lupus kernel. But based on experience with my arc, most of them have battery drain issues.
right now Im on advanced stock kernel

I always using doomkernel v5 or sega stock kernel without overclock. I dont want my arc blows up.
But it's up to you.

[Q] Custom ROM for xperia arc

I am looking for a good rom for my xperia arc. Currently stock ICS 4.04 is installed(not rooted) and i am looking for a rom which provide better performance and better RAM management. I have checked various threads and realized that most of custom rom out there are buggy some of them does not support HDMI some having issues with WIFI etc . So, please suggest me a ram which is best in terms of performance without having these major bugs. I want bravia engine, Xloud, Mega Bass etc phone features which improve its audio/display quality and i donot want all those bloat ware timescape, integrated facebook etc which slows down the phone. Considering this please suggest the best rom. If possible please refer a link/complete guide how to root/unlock bootloader(if required) to install that ram. Any help would be appriciated.

CM9 if you want ICS
CM10 if you want JB (some stuff still doesn't work as it supposed to)
But in my opinion, other than those two I mentioned above, the best custom ROM is debloatwared-supercharged-updated adreno libs-minimally init.d tweaked STOCK ROM with your favorite custom kernel.
Look at my sig for my stock ROM mix and match in general. I also use aeon's lockscreen and smallapps port, custom systemui.apk, cybershot mod, and acid audio engine mod. Stock ROM with that config is more than enough for me. Fast and stable

Kernel and Rom are 2 diff things. The kernel doesnt change wen u flash a rom. The main thing here is that, if u r flashing ics based rom den u shud hav ics based kernel. That means u r now on stock kernel and ultimate hd v2 rom.
If u wanna flash adv stock kernel, there is a link on the ultimate hd thread. You ll hav to use fastboot for flashing kernels.
About lucky patcher, in ultimate v2 there is some prob with it. The dev is going to fix it in ultimate v3.
