You'll have to wait for final ICS release from sony.
After that there will be better working roms i bet.

I think the best ones are roms based on the leaked chinese ics - but even those are not fully functional. Cell tower positioning is not working (only GPS based, which while accurate is slow), and no Facebook inside Xperia (as there's no facebook in china).

lol. i think KA13 and 14 r some good roms

IMO JJ's Hybrid V4 (ICS) It's lite and quick compared to the others. He left in the most important functions then optimized it. It's great because the Arc S specs are kinda minimum requirements for ICS.

I agree the best is ka14
the guy that makes them is hard worker
and it is so full of options (add-on(s) are useful and variable)

Final oficial Sony ICS for Arc S is out in the development section. That will probably be the best version.

I use Mooded ICS 50.5

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 ..

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
Good day, Kudos !

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

[Q] Is 4.1.B.0.587 latest update for Arc lt15i?

Hi all!
I'm not sure if this is the write section for this kind of a question,but...
So i'd like to know if Xperia Arc is getting a new update or latest update 4.1.B.0.587 is the last one.I like ICS UI it's nice,but it sucks with most games,cam recorder doesn't work very well and battery,in other words ICS on xperia arc just sucks,so i would like to know if is sony going to do anything better for arc ICS.If not i just don't want to waste my time on looking for how to make ICS better on my arc.I know there are lots of ROM with tweeks,but even with them i can't get my games to work as they work on GB,about camera it's not a big deal,there is cyber-shot mod for ICS so that should solve it,but i need games,to get my time pass.Thanks.

Hi this is the right place.
Yes theres a new update coming to our arc/s, but we dont know when.
Actually imo the ICS is waaay better than GB. im all stock with bloatware removed/deactivated and the most important im usig the new gpu libs. This gave me avg. 5-10 more FPS. Thats a big deal. Im having the same battery performance on ICS as on GB

ICS is better when stripped of bloatware and tweaked, otherwise it's much more useless than GB

But, sound & battery life is bad.

<sorry for my bad English>
JB roms are very good, very nice and wonderful, camera has some new improvements, is very easy to use, but the bad thing is the battery(is consumed very quickly):crying:.....

I hate JB camera! ....dnt know Hw to restore ma message bck up on JB from ICS

You should use Titanium Backup if you are rooted.

jb/ICS
i suggest google would be a greater help pal. JB has project butter built in. this means without using the performance kernel you can have a fast and smooth rom WITH batterylife.

From what I noticed JB is faster than ICS but my problem with it is that it doesn't have flash player support

[Q] GB or JB?

Hi guys! I ordered my SGA 2 today and it probably comes with GB, so i was wondering should i update it to JB? Some say JB lags in SGA 2 and others say its better with JB. Could u tell me ur experience with GB and JB in SGA 2? Question is: Should I?

In my opinion jb is in many ways better than gb, besides the battery life. however I've found the stock roms to be laggy but when you install one of the costum jelly bean roms that problem is out of the way too. So I suggest u upgrade to jelly bean, I think it's really worth it! p.s. next time post your question in Q and A for ace 2 thread, it's there for a reason!

If JB only CM.

So basically you read on our forums that for some people JB lags, for some not, and then decided to open new thread to read the same things once again hoping that maybe now everything magically works fine for everyone? Both sections are full with opinions and threads on every available release of JB, we have also Q and A section to ask such questions there.

Android lags every time. I have LG with Quad Core Tegra 3 and I see lag. Same with any other device. In other case, Lumia 720 is running flawlessly. Why? Not open source and full of ****. In any case, I advise to install ME7 Android 4.1 to Ace II. Better than GB.

CM is buggy and luggy)))

I use JB since the first release and I never again had a thought to revert back to GB. Current JB roms are quite stable, so there's no need to stick with GB. Just don't use CM or any other rom which is in alpha stage. Wait for stable release and you'll be okay. And to answer your question - Yes, you should upgrade to JB.

I ´m using JB XE7 since 10 days and it´s working fine ! I update from GB straight via odin and got 624MB memory. For me, i won´t go back to GB!

JB Looks a bit too boring to me... Yes it has better battery use capabilities and 'new' features but for me... ICS is my personal pick. But I would choose GB over JB any day

Cyanogenmod 10 Unofficial by dh.Harald is very good. There are a few Bugs, but if they are no Problem for you, try it.

GB over JB any day for me.
I have flashed all JB release except MF1. All roms were giving too much lag when playing a video (play and then go forward or back and your phone might even become unresponsive) and youtube and facebook videos especially high resolution videos. I have tried Italian Job over MC8 and Kyrillos over MB4 (or MB2?), they were better than stock but not close to how GB plays videos. GB is best for SGA2 in my opinion and experience.

Man, clean RAM sometimes with dedicated Samsung app. I have ME7 and everything fine.

Gb maybe a bit faster but jb is very stable if u install a good custom Rom. Try the italian job rom by mkel91 the nature ux version or kyrillos v8. They are both good but i feel that italian job is more stable.
Plus jb is capable of running a lot of apps that gb can't and don't forget that BBM will only be available for devices with ics and up
If u need any help installing roms just ask

Cause we use 3.0.x kernel which is more better than gb kernel
Look at benchmark score (quadrant)
sent from my galaxy ace II

I do believe Jelly Bean is better, it may be slightly slower at some stages but the touchwiz UI is so much clearer and more advanced. I bought my SGA 2 back in november with GB, and got impatient with o2 not giving an update for it so I decided to root it and get Bagnz0r's sakura droid project on it. I prefer the AOSP look overall

i prefer JB

I use CM 10.1 from bangz0r is faster then gingerbread and more stable.
