[Q] missing stuff in JB - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just installed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1979829
there are a lot of stuffs I can't figure out after hours of digging in.
1. How should I put it in silent fast? in ginger bread it was what now turns on the camera, slide to left in lockscreen.
2. How should I get my old gingerbread 2.3 keyboard back? this keyboard sucks (I use other languages than english so and it was way better)
If you be kind enough to help me through this two, I would find the rest.

If you don't like JB, go back to GB. Or just get used to the keyboard and camera functions. If you have questions, ask the ROM developer instead.

You can flash 4.1.2 Xperia Keyboard (its as good as GB one) and you can turn on silent mode in "long press power button" menu.

Hallo
I would just like to know how did you get jelly bean running. My phone is rooted and I have cwm installed. I just dont know how to to flash the boot.img. I have flashtools but when i click on flashmode I do not pick up the boot.img. Am I doing somthing wrong? I am still very new with this and tried flashing xperia ultimate hd but ended up having boot loop. So flashed stock and restored my first ics rom.

t if you don´t have root permissions you can´t 3.0 lockscreen from the recoverymenu...okay...
but, can be i´m mistaken.. i don´t remember all the parameters that you must to enter in the CMD or linux shell (like me) for push it from sdk of android...now i´m mixing concepts in my head (and i can´t see it because i´m writting from my device)but i hope that you need also superuser permissions for it...(root)
EDIT:you can root, install recovery, flash it and revert root access lol

Sorry im a lil bit new to this, (i've rooted my phone before, was running Cyanogenmod 7.0.2, but still.. a lil bit noob) hehe
But what happends when i "root, install recovery, flash it and revert root access" ?
First you will have to root to obtain root access. That is so you can install Clockworkmod which requires root access to install as it modifies the stock bootloader. You will need to install Clockworkmod and then with clockworkmod you will have to flash the required files to get the Sense 3.0 lockscreen. After you have done that and made sure it works you can get a tool from XDA that lets you put all the settings back to stock. But when you do that the Sense 3.0 lockscreen will stay.
I hope you understand what I mean
Yeah im starting to understand, but how and what am i suppose to flash?

You cann flash that you want....a new rom, a kernel,a theme... And the suposed sense 3.0 that you want for your device..
If you are not fully understand browse for this concepts and read a lot before flashing anything....
EDIT:read about the function of rom manager; of clockworkmod recovery... How to root.... Etc..

Im not sure if the 3.0 lockscreen will work on the stock ROM but its worth having a go. For that you will need 3 or 4 files depending on what you encounter.
If you go to the Android development section there is a thread called Kingdom Lockscreen which is the Sense 3.0 lockscreen. You will need to flash the Sense 3.0 weather funtionality and the Sense 3.0 messaging functionality before the lockscreen.
Before you do anything (but once you have rooted and installed clockworkmod) I recommend that you do a Nandroid backup - A Nandroid backup is a backup that is made from within the Clockworkmod recovery environment that you can access either through ROM manager or by holding down the volume button while the device is turned off and then whilst keeping it held pressing the power button. A Nandroid backup backs up your ROM while its in its working state, all your applications will be backed up. Therefore if anything goes wrong you can just boot into recovery and re-flash the backup. A backup is quite large in size though. My last one was about 700MB so make sure you have enough space on the SD card.
So once you have backed up everything you will need to install the Sense 3.0 weather and restart the phone just to test everything is working. That is because if you install everything at once and it doesnt work its next to impossible to find out what caused the fault. Once you have done that you will need to go back into Clockworkmod and flash the messaging. Again restart and once you see that the messaging works you will need to go back into Clockworkmod to flash the lockscreen.
And that is it. If you encounter any problems while the lockscreen is installed (I had a problem where when I pressed power off the phone restarted instead), you will need to apply the fix which is on page 61 of that thread. That should fix everything.
After that you would just need to unroot. There are some tools for that lurking about the forum somewhere.
EDIT: I would strongly recommend installing a custom ROM as they are just so much better than the rubbish HTC give out. Much faster, more secure and there is much better support in place for them as most people wouldnt expect. If you have a problem with a custom ROM and you post it here, you will get an answer within 15 minutes guaranteed instead of having to wait for HTC for 15 days to answer your email and then find out they didnt answer the question but just said "sorry tough luck".

[ROM] CM 7 for BRAVO (No modifications) Camcorder working!

CM7 for BRAVO (No modifications)!!
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HKY4OVEI
Try it and post any issues or problem!!
Well all this is thanks to rdannar, I just take his lastest CM7 rom (CM7 V5) and changed everything back to stock, accelerometer and backlight buttons are working also.
No action snap is installed, to install Fast burst Camera (zoom and autofocus) go to this thread to download it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272161
I used 2nd init defy and remember to follow the next (always used) steps:
1) copy the rom to your sdcard
2) boot into 2nd init defy -> recovery -> stable recovery
3) wipe data/factory reset
4) wipe cache partition
5) advance -> wipe dalvik cache
6) install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard
7) reboot
To take photos use Fast Burst Camera.
Do not use Defy Baseband Switcher if your 3G is working!!
I'm liking it so far!
Is there any way future ones (at least once you get to "production" runs) could NOT include the old swype? Sort of a pain to remove it to install Swype beta...
great rom! at the moment after two days of use I have not found still no defect. (before I used the rom v2 of rdannar). thanks

Ok I got the camera to preview and it clicks if i use the settings that match the stock Bravo but all it saves as a file is a black screen. Can somebody please give me the stock 2.2.1 sbf file decompiled and changed to a .zip or something.
For something at least I have fast burst camera up and working. Now that I think, I need to get source codes. All of the codes for 2.2.1 camera for bravo, and the codes that are in the gingerbread CM7 rom.

Thanks! But I'll have to unzip it and see what it all is. I'm not caring about deodexed files I just want something that I can look at on my computer just like the CM7 mods that are zipped and archived. Easier to look at for hours.
Umm, all it gave me was a file called external.tar. What do I do with it? took me two hours to download.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Ok this is what i'm looking for. Froyo 2.2.1 for the bravo, not in .sbf but in the way it would be if we were using it like the CM7 rom. Opened and in the order just like I can see it on my phone with Super Manager in File Explorer rooted mode. And need to know if some of us want CM7 WITH or WITHOUT BLUR.
I'll just see if I can make two versions. One with and one without so no fighting. But i will need testers.

------------------------------------------------------------------
About external.tar, I havent worked with that before, no codes for me by now, I have just changed files and zipped roms.
Im here to try, my two bravos are fine to test everything.
For me it doesnt matter about having blur or not, but I prefer GINGERBLUR , anyway we need a fully working gingerbread rom. (everthing will come after it)
What I need.
Ok. I need to have the regular 2.2.1 for the bravo in the exact same way as if we downloaded the CM7 rom that is 2.3.4. The regular 2.2.1 that I have now is just the .sbf file for use with RSD Light just in case I really screw up my phone. Just like windows restore............ Anywho i'm working on right now building the stock 2.2.1 bravo file system by using a stock factory bravo and copying all of the root files onto the SD card to put them on my computer. I'll be going through all of the crap and looking at the CM7 roms to find out what is diffrent. I need somebody who can zip the stuff so it can be loaded with 2ndint. This will then allow me to put this newish rom into beta. Or if someone can find or give me the program that zips everything for 2ndint to use. I will attach sometime what I pulled off of my Bravo for a better understanding of what I want.

replace Sense 3 lockscreen with Sense 2?

Is there a way to get the older lockscreen back onto a Sense 3 ROM?
Or even, are there any optimised Sense 2 ROMs? It seems all ROMs in the dev section use Sense 3 (and I'm not a fan)..

Ill see if I can pull the lockscreen apk out of an old rom for you later. But its as easy as pulling the htclockscreen.apk out of an old rom
Until he answer you i have a bit different solution, by using WidgetLocker, here is a market link to it : Widget Locker, it's tested and i can say, best and most customizable lockscreen out there. Good luck.
Story short , i updated my wife's wfs to 2.3.5, and the unlock screen as well as answering screen is a bit choppy (using official rom , s-on, hboot 0.90000 - noob) and i was wondering how can i get the 2.3.3 lock screen (no apps from market, stock one) or how to downgrade from 2.3.5 if that is even possible ? pls help
I have build a stock 2.3.5 Europe version with the older style slide unlock.I didn't like the unlock rings myself and i couldn't install any RUU files after unlocking the boot-loader so i built it to try.Works very good here, i use CWM to flash the zip in recovery.If you would like to try it here is the un-direct link as i cant post a direct link as i am a new member.

I also didn't like it much and tried an experiment. It doesn't get the sense lock screen but removes those ring lock and gets the basic lock screen of android. Thats much better than the ring lock.
To do this you must be a root user.
1. Open a file browser in your mobile(I prefer root explorer but any other file browser would do which allows to access root.)
2. Go to location root/system/app
3. If you are using root explorer, you'd find on the top, a button r/w. Pressing this button gives you the read and write accesses of the root files.
4. Just move htclockscreen.apk and htclockscreen.odex to any other location(preferably sd card)
5. Restart your phone.
6. You'd get the basic style android lockscreen.
7. This method is irreversible. So if you want to get the previous screen back and doubt that you might not like it, you better do a ROM backup before doing any of this.
Advantages :-
Phone responds faster while unlocking screen.
Very simple interface
Pretty much attractive too
Disdvantages :-
You can not get the screen lock back if you have done this once.
To get the ring lock back you'd either need to reflash your backup or would hav to use widgetlocker app.
Biggest Disadvantage :-
If you receive a call while your phone is locked, the light won't turn on, you'd fist have to unlock the phone to see the caller and then only you'd be able to receive or reject the call.
I have experimented this method on my WFS. It worked. But I didn't like the unlocking while receving the call, hence I reflashed my backup.... All the best....

No problems with mine at this stage the lockscreen works perfectly, it runs very well.I still have all the notifications and everything.It is stock standard expect the lockscreen and the power fix for longer battery life. my phone is s-on i have hboot 1.08.009 but i have the bootloader unlocked through htc.I flash it from CWM in recovery mode hope that helps.

I totally agree.... It's just a basic lockscreen but the problem is that to get this, you'd require to be rooted. S-On wouldn't be a problem.... You can still handle it but as already said, while attending the call, you'd require to unlock the phone first....
Enjoy....
ok, so let get this straight, the lock screen works flawlessly but when someone calls ,it won't unlock itself for me to pick up, (like in in sense 2.0, where you need to swype up and down in order to answer or reject), and i have to first unlock the screen (while phone is ringing) and second to swype, also i'd like to thank you for your quick responses.

Yes that's correct you need to swipe it sideways to unlock the phone then either except or decline the phone call. I prefer to do this as with the lock rings i was always missing calls or worse hanging them up.I can do another rom with the slide down unlock if that's preferred I actually built that type first it was dexoed zipalined... but I preferred the slide unlock better.
Let me know if you would prefer the slide down type of unlock as i can build another and upload it.I also have a stock 2.3.5 all original which i built first its has the lock rings.I just couldn't flash any RUU files no matter what i tried so that's why I extracted the image's from the RUU file and built my own.

[Q] Arc S stuck after flashing jelly sandwich 7.0, who can help plz?

I need a big help on the following issue.
A few hours ago I flashed my Xperia Arc S from Jelly Sandwich 4.1 to 7.0
Did the full wipe cache thing etc.
Have chosen in Aroma the Xperia T stuff and as thema Xperia Stock
Everything went ok, so I continued installing my backupped apps. Sofar I had no problems.
After I installed everything I needed, I wanted to change my background, so I pushed on the upper left on top of a screen
and I have chosen for Xperia Background Gallery (100 backgrounds)
When I selected a nice background, the phone was going in a black screen and it was not possible to do anything with my phone.
Suddenly my phone tried to start up again, but that went wrong.
The only thing happens is that my ArcKnight kernel is trying to boot, I see the screen ArcKnight for a second of 10 and it fades away.
It's not possible to go in CWM cause the home button doesn"t flash. I tried to remove the battery, but that doesn"t help.
It is also not possible to turn off the phone. The on/off button doesn't work either.
My Phone is an Arc S
ArcKnight kernel 3.5.1 with WiFi modules
Baseband 77
Jelly Sandwich 7.0
Android 4.1.1
Cause it's my first post I had to place the question in this section
I hope someone can help me getting my phone in the air again.

When I selected a nice background, the phone was going in a black screen and it was not possible to do anything with my phone.
Suddenly my phone tried to start up again, but that went wrong.
The only thing happens is that my ArcKnight kernel is trying to boot, I see the screen ArcKnight for a second of 10 and it fades away.
It's not possible to go in CWM cause the home button doesn"t flash. I tried to remove the battery, but that doesn"t help.
It is also not possible to turn off the phone. The on/off button doesn't work either.
My Phone is an Arc S
ArcKnight kernel 3.5.1 with WiFi modules
Baseband 77
Jelly Sandwich 7.0
Android 4.1.1
Cause it's my first post I had to place the question in this section
I hope someone can help me getting my phone in the air again.

Yeah something has gone wrong, probably related to the kernel (not sure because my bootloader's locked). You'll have to flash a rootable stock rom, flash it, install cwm, and install JS 7 again. Maybe something wasn't installed correctly previously =/
Try flashing another kernel with CWM

[Q] Unresponsive screen after flashing ROM/Kernel

Hello All,
First time post and as an offering, I will say 'thanks' to anyone that responds in a positive manner to my post (trying to win some friends) :laugh:
Here's my issue, I have an Arc S LT18i.
Unlocked bootloader and rooted.
Whenever I flash anything custom the touch screen fails to respond, i've flashed LupusV7, slim bean 3.1 and 3.2 (with arc fusion 3.6 and 4.5) and Super Jelly Bean. All seemingly start without any issues and the physical buttons work no problem. BUT the screen refuses to work in anyway at all!!
I have made sure I wiped the system, cache and delvak (sp?)
Any help greatly appreciated, I am a NOOB but underneath it all I'm just trying to make the most of this wonderful Arc S...
Anything you want to know, please ask away...
Please help.
Namaste
Ricky:fingers-crossed:

Hello and thank you for the reply...
I flashed stock ICS .587 (world india) from this site talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239
Does that count as stock ICS .587?
And then followed the rest of the instructions, the exact same thing happens... buttons work but the touch screen does not!?
Any other ideas please? Or does anyone else have a suggestion?
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply to me.

Hello, thanks for the reply...
According to the Slim Bean page, I can use ANY kernel with that rom. But also, if I just have the Lupusv7 Kernel on there, the touch screen doesn't work within that, so not a ROM/Kernel conflict I belive.
I've also tried other Kernel/ROM combinations, same thing keeps on happening. Touchscreen works 100% with a SE restore, stock ROM.
Any other ideas please??

It's best to use the recommended kernel as stated on the ROM thread. Try another kernel and see how things go.

You sure you installed device-specific patch / chose correct phone in AROMA?
Kernel or ROM issue?

Hello,
As previously mentioned, the reccomended kernel is Lupusv7, When i flash this Kernel into recovery mode, all looks well but as it has a touch screen interface this still doesn't work!
I'm presuming that it cannot be a conflict as it's happen before I instll the new ROM etc... the touch screen doesn't even work within the GUI of the Lupusv7 kernel.
I can get multiple ROMS to load with different kernels but so far, none have booted with the touch screen working!!
I am very much a noob but have read loads of articles on how this should be done, unless i'm missing something very obvious which isn't stated then I dont see anyone else having this issue.
Any clues people? :good:
Thanks, Ricky
AROMA?

Hello Someguyfromhell,
I haven't used AROMA, the guides i've been reading haven't mentioned this!?
This is the process I went through:
flashed stock ICS ROM
flashed kernel
wipe data/cache/davlik
flashed rom
rebooted, ROM loads up and the touch screen doesn't work.
Any help you can give me on AROMA, links etc?
I'm looking right now, but a 'leg up' would be great.
Thanks for the reply.
Ricky
here what to do
- Make sure you had installed Official 4.0.4 ftf pack
- When flashing official ftf pack remember to exclude / tick these things:
1. simlock.ta (Exclude TA)
2. Kernel.sin (Exclude kernel)
3. FOTA (Exclude FOTA)
After flash successful, power on your phone and let it start completely
- Now you can start to install any ROM
1.Flash the Recommended Kernel: Vengeance , KTG Anzu , RUSH
2. Place ROM on SD card
3. Power off the phone and boot into CWM
3. Backup and restore > choose Backup
4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5. Mounts and storage > Format /system
6. Advanced > Wipe battery stats
7. Install zip from SD card > Choose the rom
8. if rom uses aroma Follow on screen instructions on AROMA, remember to choose "Unlocked bootloader" and also the correct kernel modules and of course the correct phone model
9. After complete installation tick "Reboot" and let the phone restart
10. Give the phone a good full charge, and enjoy ur phone !
11.THE MOST IMPORTANT THING PRESS THANKS if I helped

Then did you install the device-specific patch?
ok man, you've got the same problem like me
First thing, all roms that make your touch screen doesn't work will based on cm (e.g. cm10, slim, any jb).
and ALL STOCK roms will get no problem.
There's lot of people here got this problem and still has no clue why this problem occure to ours, so sad story.
Someone says that the touch screen firmware sould be updated to the lastest version, but i don't know how.
One solution that i found is, remove the battery to turn off then turn it on to reboot again and again. If you lucky enough, the touch screen will work like a miracle!
and the success rate is also <50% ( based on my experience only)
AROMOA guide?

on all the ROM guides, I have never seen a part where it says i should install a device specific patch, do you have a link to where these may be?
Or even a ROM with guide where it says this? I'm very happy to follow that to get this working. I have no preference to CM10, Slim Bean, Racing Bean etc... as of yet i've not been able to use any of them.
Thanks for the continued response.
Ricky

Ah ha... sounds like you have the same problem as me!
Did you manage to get any JB ROM working? If so, which one, just so I can try that also...
Does anyone else have an idea on how to update the touch screen firmware?
Really appreciate the feedback, thank you one and all!!

This solution is the one that i think it can move some files which related to touch screen.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34593771&postcount=23
But sorry, it still get sometimes for the touch screen didn't response :crying:
However, as i mentioned above; you can get ALL jb rom working :fingers-crossed:
But depends on your luck. Just turn it off when the touch screen didn't response, then turn it on again (and again) untill it work.
I hoped that the new linux kernel will solve this...
No touch

I have same issue have tried many stock based roms and kernels no problem but any CM based rom I have no touchscreen.
You can reboot and about 1 in 5 times it will work
Maybe it only affects certain versions of the phone. I even tried re-locking bootloader and doing official sony update then tried CM again I tried 7.1,9 and 10
same problem.
Here's where I am...
UPDATE:
So, here is where I am. Using advice from previous replies I have managed to install Xperia Ultimate HD and this is working off of the Lupus kernel without any issues. I'm still unable to get ANY Jelly Bean roms working...
Maybe my device will just not work on JB :crying:
Any other tips or tricks are greatly appreciated, would love to get JB working on here my beloved Arc S.
Ricky :good:
Any news here?
I have the same issue over here with a colleagues LT18i
I have same problem, touch screen doesn't work on many different kernels... only work on stock kernel
Any news about this problem?
