Ok I installed KA11 last night and been great so far. Thanks you v./much for this! Seems to be a lot smoother when flicking thru my app draw, and just smoother overall to be honest

I was having a problem on an older version (KA08) with my digital clock widget losing time, but this seems to be working fine now.

Battery drain seems a little higher on this version. I had a sudden 10-15% drop overnight for unknown reason on the battery monitor widget, but will continue to monitor this

Ok :) let me know what you're findings are ;)

Timescape is still broken when trying to open images. I think it needs the old Gingerbread gallery.apk.

Edit: I have to correct myself. For fully working Timescape we need "SemcGallery3D.apk". I copied it from another ROM and now it's working.

I know, I included the wrong Gallery in the add-on, will fix this soon ;)

I still have that problem. Both Minimalistic and Advanced clock widget stop updating. But it's not only the clock that stops updating in those widgets. The battery percentage stops updating as well, so that means the whole widget stops working. Also, the button LEDs are still too bright.

Sent from my LT15i (Xperia arc) on KA ICSony

I'm going to fix the led brightness problem now ;)

My phone runs 9h 30min with normal usage like listening to music, browse a bit and watch one video.
So my Battery life is OK but not as good as i had it with KA09.:)

Ok, sorry for delay with brightness fix, but please understand I've just released my rom on Xperia Play and there are more bugs and bigger issues, so I'm going to fix some of them first now :)

Thanks for understanding

Okay everything working great, absolutely love this rom sound quality is immense :D

Battery is working great.

The only issue i have noticed up till now mind you its only day 2, is that when someone calls you and you answer by sliding, when call finishes and you take away phone from your ear the screen stays black and you cant get it to light up by even using power button until the person who called hangs up. I hope that makes sense??

Regards
Tiger

Why you got such a good sound??
My music stucks in nearly every song for miliseconds... Are there any settings I have to take? Because for me the quality from KA09 to KA11 didnt change:confused:

It's my fix for led brightness, it working on my Arc with KA11, so you can try it on your phone.
THX Man this ine worked for me;)

Thanks, works for me. :)

I noticed there is the Loopy Smoothness tweak in init.d folder which is meant to be for Nova launcher, I think? Should I change it for it to work with GO Launcher?

maybe because i moved from stock rom to k11 that's why i am noticing major difference?? but its definitely noticeable plus i don't have any millisecond gaps or anything like that.

I tried Nova Laucher and I removed it. Stock laucher after supercharge is better for me - is fast and smooth. I don't tried GO Laucher, but I tried GO SMS and it been heavy and slow. So I don't tried GO series programs again.

Rom is smooth. But I think we need a ka12 krabappel. Currently on ka11 I cant play games..(angry birds space), on 09 I could. Further it is smooth. Led is a bit to bright.. Overall again a Nice job. Edit: pc shows arc instead of arc s.. Even with arc s build prop.

    I present to you
    02/07: KA21 Ice Cream Sony released & updated changelog in 3rd post
    KA21 Ice Cream Sony
    Please hit the thx button if you like my rom :D

    Dear Arc users,

    This rom is based on latest ICS stock fw. Unfortenately I have to stop development for Xperia Ray. The only one I'll keep updating is the one for Xperia Neo. Users which are willing to port my rom to Ray, Arc or Play are welcome.

    The reasons I have to stop development here:
    - I develop alone for 12 devices
    - I'm focusing on 2012 line now
    - I don't have the time to do this anymore
    - Other reasons related to personal life (school, work, girlfriend, ...)

    Thanks for understanding,
