So i've had my Arc over 8 months now. I bought it for 2 reasons, the camera and it's size (slimness and screen), all other high-spec phones seem(ed) to be substantially bigger.
Now quite honestly the stock sony rom was bloated and slow, I think we can all agree, cue going down the CM route. However that took an eternity to get the camera working. Now we have 7.2 with a working camera but most people seem to experience significant battery drain which limits the usefulness of the phone, me included.
Cue waiting for CM9.0, all seems to be going well but it's not ready yet (credit to the devs on both of these releases). Now I think about it, i've been waiting all this time for a decent workable rom to make this phone as good as it should be. Shouldn't it have been released fast enough for the mass market? Do SGS2 owners have this? GN owners? I highly doubt it.
Anyway, just intrigued to know if anyone else has similar thoughts to me. Don't get me wrong, I still have hope that this can be the phone I want it to be but when it is it will be outdated and superceded. My 2 cents...
try acronium dude,fully stock,combine with doomkernel,have it supercharge,theme it a little bit,add this add that,it is not the phone itself made it perfect,its you who made it perfect,so my opinion is xperia arc was indeed perfect if you know how to perfecting it..

Arc is a nice phone, but only if you want to keep it stock.. don't install too many apps ( just very few )... the reason for this is the low RAM and Internal ROM... both making the phone slower and sluggisher when ever you install more apps...
Normally all Android phones have memory management, and all apps if you exit it will stay in the ram to make re-launching it faster... this is nice if you have plenty of RAM... but if you're running low on both RAM and ROM ( like with any mid-low phone ) then this will be hard, as in most cases the RAM will be almost full, the internal ROM will be like this... the phone will try to free some space in order to run any new app you want as the old apps keeps it self in the memory filling it up...
Xperia arc is a nice phone, but the main problem is it's RAM and ROM being too much low... you have to depend on 3rd party apps to free some space in order to make your phone run smoother and faster... you must move every app to the microSD to save the precious internal space... and for some cases this is not enough !! considering the phone comes already with pre-installed apps that most users won't use but they can't remove most of them without root !!
personally, I rooted the phone, installed Titanium Backup pro.. and removed all apps I don't want to save the ROM space, and installed my preferred apps but still running low !! currently I have only 50MB free for the internal ROM, and less than 60MB of free RAM...
using the phone more will make the RAM less slowing up everything in the phone !!
Yeah I know, the best way to use the RAM is to make it fills, but you MUST have free space to make the phone smoother for any new apps/work...
If you have plenty of RAM ( lets say 1GB at least ) then let it takes 700 - 800 meg but just keep some free for the UI, new apps and so on.. something like 100 - 200 is very nice...
that's why 512MB RAM is too low, while 1GB is very nice !! ( talking about GB and earlier, I don't know about ICS ) as the phone normally with a user that loves apps will require at least 600-700MB of RAM which is more than what is already available on the phone !!
this is the story of RAM alone, there's another talk about ROM !!, basically while I have 50MB free, it's on the edge.. any apps will need update will take the ROM, if the app is a system app ( pre installed ), it will be saved to the system app space, the update will stay on the user internal ROM, it will not be integrated to the system space.. so it will eat more of the internal ROM unless you integrated the update to the system space which requires root and a 3rd party app ( Titanium backup )... sometimes even with 50MB free if there's multiple apps to update I can't update them all as the ROM will get filled up and when it reach's 40MB and lower, the system will alert me of low ROM space... and depending on the app it might not be possible to update it as some apps needs to save the update on ROM first before going any where else !!
I think wit the new firmware .69 we will have sony logo and cool xperia boot animation...
just like in Xperia s

I got my arc 15 days back
previously owned both x10 and galaxy s
x10 is good but is slow with low gpu
galaxy was blazing fast but i didnt like touch wiz
HTC sense looks good but eats lots of ram
Arc is slim, sexy, speed, smooth and powerful.
have been a fan of SE ui.
I haven,t rooted it yet and maintaining it stock
well the arc is not that fast i have to agree on that one.. but still it is the sexiest phone out there ! and dont worry about lags with low memory, ICS is optimized for a MUCH better memory management, so if sony does it right you won't have to worry about laggy or slow experience because of low ram
I prefer the SE ui compared to sense/tw, and modded stock roms like arconium or festa20's rom. Link2sd sorts out any internal memory issues, Dooms kernel lets you overclock(or underclock), supercharger script or juwe11s ram manager take care of ram issues, linux swap ensures smooth running during intense usage...and so on. Android is open source for a reason.

Thanks for the replies. I'm running 7.2 but maybe i'll move to Arconium. But regardless, that makes my point, I have to install a custom rom to make the phone fast. I don't mind so much about space, I don't install that much, I need it to be a phone, take photos and use a small selection of apps. I shouldn't really need to spend hours of my time unlocking it, playing around with custom roms etc. For us that can do it then great, but what about the 99% of normal users that don't have the knowledge to do any of this, I wonder how they feel, will they buy a Sony again having run with the Sony rom from day one? Unlikely...
honest answer:no
-i need repair it three times
-i got bad battery life only 3-4 hours browsing.
-the body is not solid like lumia/n9.
i hope ICS and a new battery will solve this problem.
and i can start loving my arc.
Had it for 9 months, liked it so much I bought an Arc S
Sent from my LT18a using xda premium
i have the japanese version of the arc for a year now
best phone i've owned
looks great
great in hand
never froze
reasonable battery
all apps work without any force closing
stayed on stock since day one
great sound
nice video streaming
nice cam
just missing the front cam
the xperia S has the same launcher lag as the arc
so lets hope this is fixed on ICS
I'm proud for buyng this phone...i like it bat i think gs2 is not better...i'm testing cm9 actually but it's full of buggs...the battery drain, the flash off the camera band the network...i'm gonna try to install miui...anyway i can't stand the stok rom too (even if is very nice)
I have Arc since April 2011.
It's basically a perfect device.
There are two issues:
1. Crack, which looks bad but doesn't influence anything else (shame...)
2. RAM too low, which can be dealt with by rebooting once a week.
3. The internal memory could be bigger.
I have like 60 apps or so and this phone flies, still on Stock ROM. Seriously, no single freeze or reboot since the .42 FW. It's just brilliant.
So, for the first time I'm not even anxious to get my Xperia S just because I think Arc could work for another year.

I totally agree, and it can only get better with ICS

I like it but since CM9 is buggy and there's nothing else new, I think I've already explored every nook and cranny of the arc.
Let's hope the ICS update will bring a totally new experience. I'm thinking of UXP NXT.
I'm still an Arc fan, have it for 8 months now. My only problem is the crack. Have it repaired 2 times now. Bought a cover so I don't have to see the crack again if it comes back.
But besides the crack it is perfect. Also stock rom, 75 apps installed and no lag. Perfect camera! I love it!

well..
today i got a chance to try out the dual core HTC Sensation.
i have to admit, that occasionally, it is much snappier than the arc but it lacks something.
i don't know.. maybe is it the camera, the display.. but i just like the arc better.
i can get the sensation for a very low price (the price i could sell my arc for no problem) but i decided to keep the arc.
it's just... yes! It's a better phone! An all-arounder.
I have had my arc s for two weeks now before that I had a ray, nexus s and sgs after my x10
My arc s was sim locked and bootloader locked, I got jinx13 to unlock my boot and I installed miui
I love this phone, it is fast, looks awesome and I really really like it.
Should get my barely there case to protect it tomorrow, really happy at least till upgrade when I will get the Xperia S , all the moaning I did when I had my x10 about Sony and the Arc S is superb and the xperia S looks even better

Good since rooting
I've had my arc for about 5 months now,
It had become really slow just from using it (loads of apps and all that)
So I rooted it about a month ago with the doomlord method. (never got my head around how to get CM on it though)
And since rooting I'm pretty much happy with it speed-wise.
Oh, and I hated the SE Interface so I run GO Launcher.
This has been my first post. Thank you.
Had my arc now for about 10 months (i think).
Using rooted stock ROM with a few tweaks here and there (v6 supercharger, appwidgetpicker, transparent dock). Deleted a fair bit of the bloatware.
The only problems i have with it are that it's still occasionally laggy, and could do with more internal storage (although its obviously not that much of a problem or i would've gotten around to using apps2sd+).
However, the camera is amazing, the screen is fantastic, we get regular firmware updates and it's the still best looking phone on the market by miles (including all of the new sony phones). It could do with a dual core CPU, more RAM, and more internal storage, but i knew that even when i bought it 10 months ago. Still love it.
never knew why any1 bothered with stock rom or any custom rom
Ok I been using the arc for 10 months had it rooted for 9. I am totally new to hacking phones but think iv done a sweet job.
I could never understand why any1 would waste time having a custom rom, if they all leave parts of the phone not working.
Personally iv been usong go launcher from the market since day 1. Used titanium to delete the bloatware and all stock apps including launcher.
Move apps to sd and have always got more than 150 available in rom. Ram is an issue seeing as there is so little but iv got 214 apps and hav 60-171 free depending what's running. This still proves lacking if you want to open a massive word or excel document. Simply need to break down the fiLe on a pc before putting it on phone that is a pain.
Battery life has always been gash until I found out about patching baseband this should be step 2 for all arc users the battery increase is phenominal,especially in standby. However using 3g with a bright screen and bravia still only3/4hours video playpack.
That being said I phoned tmobile and gave them an ear bashing about battery life on smartphones in general and they sent me another free of charge so 2 batteries works a treat.
I wanted to try something new so I traded my iPhone 4S for a galaxy nexus GSM... Any advice on roms or anything to start out with? Should I just leave it clean?

If you like customization I'd recommend flashing AOKP
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Ya, AOKP with popcorn kernel gives me best battery life by far and i've tried loads of combinations
Try liquidsmooth rom + lean kernel...very stable..very speedy..very light...craaaazy good battery life
I use AOKP m4 + Francos kernel
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Aokp and Franco's kernel for me. But honestly, don't believe me or anybody else. Look around at all the roms and choose the one with the features you'd like. Same thing goes for kernels.
You should probably even have some fun on stock as it's a relatively fast and stable rom for a few days then switch over to custom roms to get the feel for ICS.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Be aware that your battery will be much less than your 4s. I too came from an iPhone. I didn't expect.battery to be much diminished but it's logical from the.screen size. With franco m1 and aokp M&A, I get around 4.5 hours screen time on wifi and low brightness. Which is fairly high compared to most. what are your guys screen times on other kernel/ROM combos

I don't use my 32GB iPhone 4S as much since getting my GN. I have the Verizon version so I have a 32GB version with LTE. Having LTE allows way faster data speeds than I could ever get with the iPhone 4S. Even with AT&T's faster 3G the 4S can not touch the LTE data speeds.
This is my first Nexus device and I'm loving it. Just stock Android with no bloat. Enjoy your device. I have mine unlocked and rooted but stock. Its stock but smooth and polished .

Thanks for the suggestions. I've had the atrix, thrill, and infuse and they were all okay but I still ended up preferring my iPhone. I like both OS though. Hoping ICS will be good.
Anyone using theirs on AT&T? My phone won't be here until Wednesday and wondering what the DL and UL speeds are.

I'd leave it stock for a while.
The reason I say this is that coming from an iPhone I don't think you'll be happy with all the bugs and annoyances that come with custom ROMs (if the G'nex is anything like the EVO, Stratosphere and the OG Droid).
True Story: I had a friend who I convinced to switch from an iPhone to Android and first thing he does when he gets the phone is have me root it and put on a custom ROM (since I kept showing him all the things my rooted phone could do). He's happy for a few days but then the random reboots start happening - among other little ROM-related bugs. Finally he says he is going back to the iPhone before his 30 days are up because Android isn't stable enough. Had we not rooted it right away he probably would have been happier and maybe stuck around with Android. We just tried too much too fast. Of course, since I showed him my G'Nex (and AT&T sucks in his area of Chicago) he is switching to Verizon so he can have the Nexus, too.
Enjoy the stock OS for a couple of months then decide if you want to root and tinker. Stock is plenty great as-is; I just finally rooted mine this weekend (ONLY to get wi-fi tether) and I'm the type to play around with everything.
Stock is good. No need to mess with it.
Seems like for the T-mobile GS3 there are only a couple of roms, is there any real advantage to rooting at this point or would you wait?
So far, I kind of like the stock rom, s-voice, motion, etc... I wish the 4G were faster, but I don't know if a new rom or build.prop tweaks would really do anything for this.
There's really not many roms yet because the phone hasn't been out that long.
The goodies are yet to come, but at the moment the main reason to root is to remove all the bloat on the phone.
Personally I'm waiting till my return days expire before I start messing with my phone in case I have to return which I might because I really want the white.

Adfree and wifi tether are the obvious reasons. I usually stick with stock builds with root for those two capabilities. I used to care a lot about being able to use root explorer to remove bloatware, but that was on the Evo OG that had tons of sprint bloant and tiny internal storage. I was constantly having to choose between having apps that didn't support app2sd or having enough free memory for the phone to perform. That whole issue is gone with this phone. I've barely touched the internal storage (though I have pretty much maxed my 16GB microsdhc card, I'm going to have to get a 64GB one to handle all the music/films/podcasts I keep on external storage.

How do I remove the bloatware? I just rooted this past weekend.
The three main reasons I have rooted my devices are rather simple:
Titanium Backup (Being able to backup ANYTHING is a must and should have been standard imo).
WiFi Tether - Stupid that carriers offer unlimited data (Well sprint does) or even limited, yet then even further tell you HOW you can access that data... Sure it can be abused, but there's no reason they should limit it if you've already paid for set megs/month..
Lastly.. Root Explorer..
I use it mostly so i can add ringtones and images directly to the phones standard media folder, in case I swap out SD cards or such.. This isn't so much a big deal anymore with internal memory being standard.. but coming from an OG Evo it was a necessity. With my new S3.. not so much here
I just got the S3 today I am going to use my skyrocket fulltime still because cm9 kicks major ass and make my skyrocket tick at 1.8Ghz but this S3 is beastly with the 2GB ram I fly through everything but I am going to root it after th 14 days and remove all of the crap I dont want but I get why some people dont really wanna flash anything yet ICS is very fluid on the device and the hardware is off the charts especially with Jelly bean out once it gets ported that new OS will use more resources its natural because as it gets better it has to use more space and having 2GB Ram will help......ofcourse if CM9 or CM 10 or whatever its called is released it will be on my phone a soon as its available......

I use Titanium Backup for that. They have a free and paid version.
The free one will allow you to freeze- meaning they will disappear, but not really un install from the device. You won't see them in the app drawer or delete them if you wish.
If you're a flash addict then the paid version is the way to go because it helps you restore all your apps that are backed up with a push of a button after every rom you flash.
Saves a lot of time rather than restoring them one by one, especially if you have a bunch.
Powered by the SGSIII
honestly, i might not flash a custom ROM on the S3. i used to flash ROMs like crazy on my Skyrocket, but i am actually very pleased with the S3. i am waiting for someone to make a ROM without all the AT&T crap, keep S Voice, and get a little better battery life though lol.
I'd say there are advantages such as root apps and debloated ROMs...which are better for battery and speed.

That is very true, but this phone out the box is pretty good on both categories.
So to me, it's not that important right now.
Usually I root and flash something within the first few days, but I really don't have an urge to at the moment.
I'm happy with the phone right now as it stands. Even with all the bloat.

Exactly how I feal. Ive always rooted and romd pretty much right away for the speed, battery life, and features of custom roms.
Speed: seriously can you get any faster than instant and smooth as butter?
Battery Life: Im getting 4.5-5 hours of screen on time on each charge which is amazing compared to most phones so Im just now getting used to that lol. I know roms can even improve me on that but I dont need it right now.
Features: this phone stock is crammed with features.
I will be rooted before long for root apps and akop when it comes though
My other phone is an iPhone 4. And the battery on that phone is insane! And the gs3 is pretty darn good. I'm a heavy use phone guy, and i have only had to recharge this phone once during the day. Now at night (end of day) the battery is in the low teens but it's still on

Plus i like to control whats on my phone and how it acts. All n all, this phone is awesome, I see no need for a ROM at this time, and i don't think OC is in the cards because this thing is fast. I have all these paid apps that were on my epic 4g that require root to run. i paid for them, so i'm gonna use em.
Does anyone know if there will be any custom roms available for the Sprint variant of the S4 mini (SPH-L520) anytime in the near future? I cannot stand the stock Samsung Touchwiz. Mine is rooted and ready to go...... THANKS!!!
I Hope So
I have been looking everyday to see if there is possibly a rom for this! I got mine about 2 weeks ago and i hate the stock launcher so ive installed Apex which is always nice for me. We really need to get a 4.4 rom for this going. Rooting this device was very easy! Hope to see something soon!
I'm doing pretty much the same. I Check daily or every other day. I'm using the Kit Kat launcher and enjoying a bit. Hopefully we'll see something sooner rather than later.

Woooow Im surprised nobody has posted any kind of feedback this isnt cool. Really want a new rom! Currently running Themer Beta which is ok.

It may be worthy to note that it does seem like serranoltespr will soon get official CM support, which will hopefully spark more ROMs to be built for this variant
There is a CyanogenMod ROM that was ported to the Sprint S4 mini, not sure what the link is but I'm using it and it works good. For anyone waiting for official kitkat 4.4 are going to be sad. Sprint is dropping this phone and therefore support will begin to fade away. There most likely will be no update for the Sprint SPH-L520, so if you want to upgrade to the latest version of android, you'll have to look up the CyanogenMod port.

I apologize for reviving a year old post, but...hopefully I can get my phone operational.
Can you share the files that you used to put CM11 on your phone?
I recently put CM11, and had to revert back to stock. The reasons:
Insane battery usage ( 10% per hour phone just sitting with fresh install: many wakelocks mmc1_detect, 1023, etc just burning thru the battery )
Cannot send MMS due to an APN bug
trebuchet theme stopped working
There could be more, but I had to give up.
Now Im back with the crappy stock rom, and some of the bloatware particularly visual voicemail is intercepting notifications from sprint's voice mail.
Thx
Hey guys. I borrowed my brother's old Galaxy Nexus while my HTC One is being repaired and I couldn't help noticing it lags. Immensely. I flashed SlimKat build 3 on it and before that I ran LiquidSmooth. I was under the impression that KitKat was supposed to be less resource hungry.
Is it because it's not "official" (from Google)? Would 4.3 run better, say in the form of CM10.2.1 stable?

Try Deleting The (Google +) and if its Build in App try deleting it with Root Permission.
this Should Fix that Lag. It did For mine ^.^
The unfortunate reality is that most Galaxy Nexus units have sluggish internal storage, and any background processes that are trying to write to it while you interact with the phone can create lag in processing and the UI. It was such a relief to switch to the Nexus 5.
Mine is not lagging but not fast too.. But with the right rom and kernel and some tweaking its pretty fast for its age

It's just the phone. My work phone is a gnex bone stock. And it lags horribly.
Mine is very fast, no lag at all, even after more than 1700 hours without rebooting :good:

This thread is active again. I thought I could get my One yesterday but Telecare messed up and sent me one that had even more tint than before, so I'm stuck with this until after May 9th because my carrier store closes for renovation between April 22nd and May 9th..
C'est la vie.
Since someone already opened a topic on this, I would like to chime in. This started happening too to me two days ago and it's driving me nuts. I must have done something somewhere but I just couldn't find any solutions.
As of two days ago, my Gnex started to lag since I flashed Fancy kernel r50. Serious f-ing lag. Nothing I do seems to help. I've dirty flashed my current rom (OmniMetal), I tried reflashing a previous version of the kernel like I've always done, I tried clean flashing everything again, I tried installing another rom (Paranoid Saberdroid) and whatever option available. The lag won't go away. This ain't your average lag. Even TWRP is lagging. Any suggestions?
SOLVED: It was a rewrite problem, what i did was i ran lagfix(fstrim) app and voila! Fast and speedy again.
Really happy with cm 11 remix, almost no lag.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
As mentioned before some of the nexus's suffer from the degrading EMMC performance. Refer to this thread to make sure which side you are on...
hope that helps :good:
I think cm remix is the most stabile/fast ROM now
Keep in mind you came from a HTC One to a Galaxy Nexus.. That's a big loss of processing power. Another thing is if he's had it OC'd a lot the processor may be in it's final days.
My Thunderbolt gave me the same issues while I waited to get my Gnex.
