I tried to install a new rom onto my xperia arc s. I followed the instructions and flashed the boot.img and cleared the caches etc. However, everytime I try to install the zip file, the assert failed and status 7 error always shows up. Can anyone guide me through this? Thank you very much.

Let me guess you r trying to flash a CM Rom ? well i was having this problem before.
To bypass the assert 7 error you can edit the update script or install an AOSP ROM 1st then flash the CM ROM..........Trust me it works every time 4 me .this is the best easy process....have Fun

Been in this situation before, only way to get out of this is to flash stock firmware using flashtool.

Hey, I just went from stock rom to the CM 11 rom and noticed that ant+ isn't working anymore. Now I think that the CM 11 is heavenly compared to the Stock rom, but as an active runner I would like it if my ant+ hrm could be working.
Is there going to be support for Ant+ in the future or should I go seek for another rom?

What Error 7 did you get (status 7 means only that it didn't working)?
I got:
Error set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed (status 7)

Official CM10 for Acro S had CWM as recovery. Most unofficial CM11 roms have TWRP as their recovery. You just need to grab a copy boot.img from the zip file of the rom you wish to flash and flash that via fastboot first:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
After rebooting, you then flash the full rom zip itself.
I advise asking your rom's developer beforehand to confirm that the boot.img does includes a recovery. Just in case...
Thanks a tonne guys will try and let you'll know asap

Try un-mounting the SYSTEM partition from the Recovery's > Mount menu before installing.
Cheers.
Extract the .zip and flash (flashtool) boot.img before flashing from recovery is my tip.

Can anyone explain or guide me to downgrade from custom ROM to stock ROM.
I'm using Lineage OS and I'm trying to go back to the stock ROM (nougat).
This is the twrp flashable version of the stock ROM
