Could somebody suggest a ROM and kernel suited to these needs? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've been using tips from this community . I decided to become a member recently. I've been using an Arc S since April 2012. I'd had bluetooth(bootloop) and Wi-Fi (extremely slow) problems with ICS(stock). I'd then rooted and installed this kitkat ROM ( [ROM][CM11][Arc/S][UB] Xperia UltraKat v2.1.1 | KK 4.4.2 | 11/4/2014 | [DISCONTINUED]). The Wi-Fi and bluetooth problems vanished at the cost of a resource hogging ROM( it took up a lot of RAM and internal memory ). I could use those features but there wasn't much space to do so. I'd then downgraded to ICS and installed this ICS ROM([ROM]{ICS} Xperia Ultimate HD 5.0.1 | Extreme Innovation | Performance redefinied |]) recently. The ROM is amazing; it's fast and doesn't take up much space but the Wi-Fi is slow ( download erratically - took a few hours to download 18MB). I have a feeling that the Wi-Fi problem is intimately linked to ICS. I mean no disrespect to the developers, they've done their part.
In short, could someone suggest a ROM in which:
1) There are no Wi-Fi problems.
2) There are no bluetooth problems.
3) The ROM is fast and I get sufficient( ~250-300MB) internal memory.
4) Games work smoothly(optional )
I've tried searching but I want to know for certain that the above things work(from people who have actually used the ROM).
I looked at this thread ([Q&A][KK]Review of 2 roms, with tips and bugs and future suggestions) , but it doesn't answer my questions specifically. Plus, I'm skeptical about returning to kitkat
I guess I'm looking for a JB ROM. Any ideas,suggestions or comments ?

Go to Super Jelly Bean 8.0 with SuperFusion kernel. Very good performance en stable rom.

Thanks, I'm using it now. It's ultra smooth but the WiFi is laggy.

Ore try this rom : [ROM][KERNEL] [4.4.4][CM11][GRAPHITE] [UBRTC 4.9 + JustAchi's][6.7.15]
With Mike s kernel ( 30-08-2015).
And gapps: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347845902
I think this is better.

I won't suggest using a JB ROM since they're much laggier than KK. If you want smoothness KK is your best bet. Best is to try Mike's CM11 nightlies.

JB ROMs are laggier than KK? I didn't know that. When I was using the kitkat ROM(ultrakat), I used to get ~60-90MB of free RAM. I'm using a JB ROM now(Super Jelly Bean 8.0) and I get ~170-210MB of free RAM. And there's no lag at all.
I'll still try the CM11 based ROM though. Thanks for the suggestion.

There's certain tweaks that can be done to the ROM that reduces lag. KK is supposed to be faster because it was developed for low end devices.

Changing the I/O scheduler can improve device performance but it's not so obvious. I won't recommend overclocking because you're going to fry the mobo especially when you OC to 2GHz. You can try V6 supercharger script. Did wonders for my Arc S back then.

Or did you mean this ROM - {All 2011}[DEV][KitKat 4.4.4][LegacyXperia] unofficial CyanogenMod 11.0 builds ??

Yes this rom.
You must try it because i dont no now how much memory it was.
The kernel is inside the zip rom file.

[Q] Jelly Bean Rom for everyday use

The title of thread says it all. What JB based rom is best for now, for everyday usage, if any? I'm using seb's AIO 6.1.1. and I'm very satisfied, but now I would like to try something newer. Than you.

Jelly Bean and Everyday Use doesn't come in pair, for now.
Unless you're fine with glitchy camera, broken camcorder, not working flash, 3G/GPS issues, not working USB tethering / wifi hotspot.
Obviously it doesn't have Butter either, which is main JB improvement.

vijendrahs's miui jelly bean rom seems very stable. the only issue I have faced, you should activate the a2sd script.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850436

I think you should try and decide for yourself. Many of the JB roms seem to be based on Nikez roms. Nikez has got a matrix of what is working and not working in his web site.
I used Nikez for some time. I liked it. It has got its plus and minus. I loved the soft keys(my keys have started acting up). GB does not have soft keys. But I missed the status bar toggles especially the 2G/3G. I had to switch because for some reason I could not restore nandroids. It doesnt seem to happen to everybody. And of course the constant wiping, installing and setting up tired me out finally.

i use paranoid Android hybrid 2.20, modified a little by myself with int4ext, smooth and stable.camera preview kind of work. customMTD repart system 220mb ,so i have more data.

I use since yesterday [ROM/4.1.2] [Oct 19 2012] CM10 | Jelly Bean 4.1.2 - v1.0. This Rom ist fantastic:good:. There are some little Bugs but this is 1.0.
Update should come...

How about for the CDMA version of the Desire? Any recommendations?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk 2

I like very much the JB:CM10:HYBRID, which is based on evervolv with CM10 settings and paranoid android mode.
I find it as stable as Nikez (it is based on the same code anyway) and it is updated every few days.

Any new suggestion now?

very stable, no soft reboots for me :laugh:

I use the slim Rom 1.0. This is indeed Android 4.1.2 but this Rom is stable so far. My Problem is the Softreboot after deinstalling app (not always).
This has many features. I love this :fingers-crossed:

Fully agree with that recommendation.
Furthermore I would gladly refer VJ CM10.1 | Jelly Bean 4.2.2 - v6.0 Stock/Sense/Data++ to be worth y try :good:
- Permanent solution for Soft Reboots (No more temporary solution)
- Improved Hardware Acceleration

For that reason I have stock GB .62 rom, rooted, added launcher tweak into build.prop and moved some applications from /data/app to system/app, at the moment I have about 170 mb free space my Arc S, and it is running smooth without any problems, without anything missing or not working.
With all those wishes, I don't find any other way.

Hi,
in past two months I have tried most of the popular ROMs. First of all I would not recommend you to use custom ROMs with locked bootloader. For some reason even if a ROM is supposed to work with locked BL I would experience bootloops or other problems. After I have unlocked it the bootloops dissapered. If you decide to unlock it first thing to try is CM10 just to see how jellybean looks. It works great with no problems but the camera is 480p and I dont think that is a compromise anyone should make. But still go for it just to see what we're missing out on . Of ICS rROMS I can recommend Ultimate HD (you will need to temper with it to enable XLoud) and JJ Hybrid (for stock ICS look).
Performance wise the GB is the best for Arc S. Even though the benchmark results were the same for GB/ICS/JB when I've tested it, if you are gaming GB will give you the best performance. Also camera and sound work best. If it doesnt bother you to use the older version of android go with GB. If you unlock the BL then you can use Doomkernel for GB and OC and UV the phone for better performance and battery life. There is Setxperia app that works great with Doomkernel in GB but gives me problems with Rush kernel so I cant use it in ICS.
You can go with the stock .42, root, delete anything you don't need. And update to .62. That alone would give you the best possible performance you can get out of Arc. If you unlock the bootloader then you can overclock it to 1600 MHz and undervolt at least -50mV whitch gave me about 3 days of battery life and faster phone.

[Q] So I rooted my phone, now what?

Hello again guys,
I sucessfully rooted my phone but now I have a problem. I have read through alot of forums and sites and I guess the next logical step is to get a new rom and kernel. Now I have done alot of reading about all this but I'm getting quite confused between the pair. From my understanding the kernel controls all the complex stuff like making your phone run faster/slower and increasing/decreasing battery life.... I'm stumped at what a rom is,it's like, the operating system but custom ones are more streamlined?
So what I'm asking for is a little information and some suggestions of what I should put onto my phone, I read something about a smartassv2 which is supposed to keep the phone more balanced, now im sure if it is a kernel or a governor?
Any help would be apprciated.

Have you put cwm or different recovery on your phone yet. Also do you have the CDMA or gsm version

Yeah, the utility I used to root it also installed cwm, I checked it out and did a backup which should be on my SD card now.
beleive it's gsm, it has a sim card and is on T-mobile.

Ive just installed link2sd and partitioned my sd card, was able to move over a game that I couldnt originally get over to the sd card, saving a bit of space.
Also with link2sd I was able to delete preinstalled bloat like twitter, friendstream, news, weather, stocks, etc.
So far a good day

smartassv2 is governer you can use cfq scheduler with it.
about suggestions:
after rooting you have two options:
use cyanogenmod roms:
cm9.1/cm10
(original modpunk cm9.1 ,speed droid,jelly king,miui etc)
use stock sense roms:
(wildchild etc,sense 3.5 etc)
these all are main roms after there are many variations like pacman rom,aokp build cm9 but they are not much stable at this time so.

Sorry to be a pain can you give me a little info about the listed roms? You put cm9.1/cm10 then the others in brackets, are they just like the same roms but with slight differences or is cynaogenmod a kinda name for those type of roms?
EDIT: Just looked up CyanogenMod.org, doesnt show that it supports HTC Wildfire S.

ps there are many other roms based on cm10 like pacman,miui and also slimroms ,paranoid(its tablet ui rom you can change dpi of any app widget its benefit of this rom)
but i havent tried them but you can.

Personal oppinion
When I rooted my wildfire s I was exactly like you. I started wondering what I should do or where I could find it.
After testing a few roms I will tell you what worked for me: Test different roms till you find the one that suits you.
Anyway, I'll tell you my advice:
- WildJOY joyOS First rom I tested. No bugs found.
- Modpunk's CM10 As far as I've read the rom every one uses as the base for their own ones.
- JellyKing This is the one I'm using right now. Active development and really smooth.

Jelly King V2.0
I flashed my phone with Jelly King V2.0 4 days back. Its working very smoothly.
You get 69 MB of internal space to install things.
Panorma mode in camera etc. Try it. you'll love it.

I was v.happy with v1.3 dedoxed i had no problem with it till yesterday started to have problem with viber ''NO SOUND'' , skype signing out when i try to make a skype phone call.. i tried to many things re-flashing the Room without wiping data factory sittings No backup lool so today i flashed the V2.0 with full wipe but its kinda lagy!! not smooth like the older one !! Kantry 123 made amazing job i really appreciate his hard work :good:

I don't find it that laggy as you say. Maybe it's because i don't spect too much from my little device. If i were you i'd try the kernel to test if it goes smoother or not.

to answer some stuff quick:
-KK is a hell lot faster than ANY ics rom with & without apps on it. maybe currently its a bit sluggish but thats because ION is in ACTIVE development. but its getting better & better every update. for latest version of LX im really amazed. if you know that ''It's Can't Be Lighting Fast & Cool ROM'' you know nothing about KK experience & bro KK is even optimized for low end HW. your sentence is wrong. KK runs a lot faster & stabler than stock ICS!!!! the thing is that some drivers are not meant for KK & make some things not work superb like wifi. i have much app installed & phone still super fast. i dont use fackbook & i guess its fb fault that phone become laggy. (fb works good on ICS?? did you making jokes?? )
you should try KK instead just only talking about it. i think u have no idea (what u talking about ) also use some good rom like LX, to many half baked roms out there
- dev porting apps mostly to their systems using. mostly they use the newest.
- sony apps porting to same os KK apps port to KK is MUCH easier than to JB (very hard many code changed / missing in JB)
try KK bro & report me bak

Thanks For The Right Answer..
hi there bro... thanks for useful reply... i don't have much experience in KK roms... i will definitely try it later... so what rom do you use?
Legacy Xperia 443? >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545354
is that optimized rom? i just can't imagine how KK can be better then ICS... maybe it's really optimized for 2011 xperias...

KK (aswell as JB) is better because it uses the new 3.4 kernel. this is a power pack. ICS still rocks stoneage 2.6.2xx kernel.also its CM based which is hold close to stock android = more power for you. one of kitkats pros was project sveltje which wanted to make sure that the latest OS of android even run smooth on low end device (512 mb ram) it also benefits our devices.
personally i use latest LX 4.4.3 rom (with sony home, media apps & sliglthy sony style framework by me) because its keeped clean & its updated frequently (not abdonned after 2 builds ) but the newest versions (after 19/3 build) are all ION based & with hints . some bugs here & there, new bugs comming (because of active development) if you want just check out kitkat, use the 19/3 build as it is the last PMEM one & gives most stability in kitkat on our device.
if you just want to upgrade your rom to use it as daily driver & dont care to allways have the neewest, then use CM10.1 (also LX) will give you best mix of speed from new kernel & its the most stable of all JB roms for our devices.
just to mention in coparsion to ICS: battery will get down faster & wifi isnt perfect (i have no problems). also camera is much better on ICS. (mostly due to lack of proper drivers.)
take 2 hrs time, do a backup of current rom (recovery), the flash LX kernel ROM & gapps of choice. N# experiece yourself. im really amazed how far our phones got . in case you dont like you can just flash old kernel & restore backup (or go to stockkernel via falshing stock ICS ftf via flashtool, then install xparts, install CWM --> restore backup)
dont forget to follow LX install instruction EXACTLY good luck

I know you're no newbie.
It pains me to see that you've not tried out any kitkat ROMs all this while.
May I suggest a particular ROM.
C-Rom version 5.6 KitKat 4.4.2
Try it.You will like it.
