Hello,
I have a arc s (lt18i) currently running ICS 4.0 (ultimate HD). I am considering switching to a 4.1+ but I have questions about what I am going to lose.
I read some disadvantages of 4.1+ roms, and I want to have precisions/informations about that :
HDMI is not possible with these ROMs. What is the exact cause of that ?
HD video recording (720p) seems not to be possible. Is that true ? it would be a great incovenience for me
Does the overall camera quality is the same as with ICS roms ?
thanks on advance for your answers.

3) overall camera quality isn't as good as ics

another thing you'll miss is sony dialer app ,, and ICS sony camera is better than cm camera but on the other hand cm10 based roms are way faster and lighter and smoother than ics as for multitasking and games << if you were going to upgrade to 4.1 I suggest that u try super jelly bean rom
Thanks for your answer i was actually looking at SJB. How is exactly better the sony camera compared to the CM one.

Some games like NFS MW works smooth while little games like Candy Crush just lags a lot & crashes..
Agreed with both @Attitude.SSJ and @xkifah.
On JB, had been using SJB8 and Slimbean511 for quite a while, I'm afraid the sony camera (ICS) would be very much better.
I think SJB is stable and Slimbean is beautiful.
Try using the LuPuS(FULL) kernel for taking better foto / video.

most cm roms won't let u record 720p and for normal photos I don't know but photos taken with Sony camera just feels better than those taken with Google camera but there's a plenty of alternative camera apps on the market and some of them have really nice features in the end i guess that the goods surpass the bads so why don't u try it yourself as it wont do u any bad and see the difference yourself
4.1 most cm roms fastest than others but my think gaming better than others, for usual use its bad to using bro

Stock is too good. But with root only.
Custom ROMs are already modyfied and that's save you to modify stock rom.
So they all good...but biggest differents is "do you want make all work yourself, or you take someone already done this hard work"

well for me stock is good with better camera than cm7 rather than what tyrand3 stated...have xloud and bravia engine..but will lag if more and more of usage and app download...im using cm7 right now, and all the lag is gone with the overclocked and system optimization. but no radio....
the theming is great and i customize it to be as perfect as i can..my friend have arc to, and they using stock rather than me but my arc is stand out than most of them....still have batery drain issue though but stock isnt much better either...
its all up to you..you can try to root and use the different rom that has been built, if you dont like it you can change back to stock rom...the guide is all in here if your interested....

Stock ROM: stable, no faults, looks quite pretty!
DoomKernel: rooted, overclocking, extra features
Until CM7 develops some more and has all the features of the stock ROM as a MINIMUM, I won't be changing from what I've got now .
CM 7 is far good than stock rom in speed, there is no lag like stock rom
but no radio
Previously Gameloft games was not running smoothly,now problem solved
More internal memory and all apps are now downloaded at sd so no more out of memory notification..themes are great, right now i'm using ICS theme, it's cool..

SE Tweaked v0.7 is super smooth with all stock features. Teamed with Doomkernel it is blindingly fast or with Blendkernel for smoothness and good battery. I have tried CM7 and SE Tweaked is better if only because you still get the Bravia engine.

No probs. I was one of the first to try SE Tweaked V0.1 and saw the improvement there over stock. I had a go with the first three weeklies from the FXP team and thought that they are doing a great job but the one thing I couldn't get over was how dull the display looked. That is why I am back with your ROM and V0.7 is really really good. I have OC'd to 1.6gHz and I must say the Arc is completely lag free and very fast with a super bright display.
Hi,
since updating ICS, my ARC lag enormously.
If I disable the stabilistaeur is a little better. but I still lags.
I tested a lot of ROMs but the problem is still there ...
I also tried a class of SC-CARD 4: it makes no difference
Have you an idea to correct this problem?
should I unlocks my boot-loader and I installed an unofficial kernel?
and if yes, what ROM to choose?? with which kernel?
I hope not to be obliged to return in GB ... :crying:
for information:
Xperia ARC Lt15i
Stock kernel
SI-number: 1247-1114

hey,
i always had the confusion about which rom was better for our phone, so i decided to make a list of pros' and cons' of both 2.3.5 sense and 4.0/4.1 roms
2.3.5 HTC SENSE 2.1 and 3.5
PROS'
1. Complete hardware compatibility, which means no hardware bugs like camera, bluetooth etc.
2. FB and Twitter integration builtin, which automatically syncs the contact pictures which make them look better.
3. The Rosie launcher(stock HTC launcher) looks beautiful and has good number of widgets.
4. HTC SENSE has accelerometer based gestures like filp to silent, in pocket mode etc.
5. Office and other utilities directly downloadable form HTC HUB.
CONS'
1. Not the latest and greatest in the world of android.
2. Not as customizable as CM builds.
3. Can't change the pixel density due to non agreeing HTC framework. (you can, but it makes the apps go wonky).
CM9/10 (ICS AND JELLYBEAN)
PROS'
1. Extremely good battery life.
2. Tons of customization options like changable theme, pixel density etc.
3. Many custom roms such as MIUI and Vanilla based roms.
4. JB is particularly fast.
5. ICS exclusive apps.
CONS'
1. Bad quality of pictures taken by camera due to unavailability of lib files ( the amazing devs have had to apply some nasty hacks to get them working).
2. Some apps may forceclose (that depends on the usage, although its getting rarer and rarer.)
3. No builtin Fb and Twitter integration, so one should use third party apps.
4. Not as good as SENSE aesthetically.
CONCLUSION
in a nutshell, if you want fast stable fussfree operator, go for Sense. If you want to have complete control of what your phone does and want to mod it till it begs for mercy (like me ) , then go for cm9/10
FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE CONFUSED BETWEEN ICS AND JB
1. JB is wayyyyy smoother than ICS
2. JB has no native support for a2sd so you must flash data2sd script
3. Playstore apps depend on the dpi settings.. so as long as you have 160 dpi, there wont be a problem
4. JB has better battery in my opinion.
5. Both have their own bugs, but i believe ICS is more stable(marginally) but Jb is not bad.
6. Both cameras are good enough for high-light photography,.
7. They record videos, but you need to use a thirdparty app to access videos..
modpunks JB rom has a working camera,..
I prefer JB over ICS anyday..
hope it helps..
Cheers!!

Don't forget CM 7.2 - fast, stable, customisable everything works (except possibly usb tethering), only it's Gingerbread so people find that a bit dull. Still if you want a ROM that uses all your phones features without annoying bugs and without Sense getting in the way and hogging your RAM then it's a winner.
there are ways in which you can improve the speed of sense roms and increase the battery life of ICS roms. I mean there is a way to make both GB and ICS equal. but that would be hard. Its definitely down to the usage patterns of various individuals. Whether you use data2sd, link2sd, app2sd or not, your brightness levels and et-al. Using whatever2sd reduces battery life. Its always been the bone of contention, this debate whether to use something which our phone has been designed to run well or to use something which google keeps on improving....

They are alright, but not as great as the hardware is able to capture. I'm not sure about how all that stuff works but surely if we can get good quality on an older version wouldn't it be able to be ported forward? If you zoom in a bit there is noticeable noise in the picture.

When I installed CM9 the phone app didn't work - reflashed and it still didn't work. call me old fashioned, but I want a phone that can make and receive calls, not a tiny tablet. Also I want a phone that can take half decent photos.
When (and if) CM9 becomes fully functional and stable on the WFS, I'll give it another go because it looks nice and runs well if you don't mind the bugs...
Extremely good battery life for ics? Nah.

Camera is god but not same the original quality and video not full HD and the camera will be full HD on the official ROM
