You don't have to worry about flashing stock .ftf and stuff. As long as you have the right kernel and baseband, it will work.

Can anyone get playlist to work?

Playlist doesn't work on Arconium 3.c :(
When i try to save a song to playlist, it would either crash or return a "null has been added to playlist" but nothing is added to the playlist

I'll go with doomkernel. It runs smooth and fast. Battery life is okay.

I tried allready with Doomkernel, ArcKnight and the 562 stock with CWM.
I get best battery lifetime with the modified stock one (2,5d with light usage but full synchronisation). all others are about 1-1,5d with same usage.
but according the thread of the xarc kernel battery lifetime is fine as well.

    Known Issues for 5.0

    • Touch controls might not work in AROMA Installer.
    • As with stock ICS, phone/contacts may take a while to start for the first time after boot.
    • If you didn't do a full wipe when coming from 4.1.B.0.431, you might have problems deleting bloatware.

    Troubleshooting

    • Flash the corresponding modules from the kernel you use (unless "modules included" is written) to make sure WiFi works properly.
