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.

What I meant was this:

USER_LAUNCHER="com.teslacoilsw.launcher" # Change this to your launcher app

So should I change it or not? Will it affect GO Launcher if I do? And I'm fine with this launcher, it works fine now. Everything is fine and smooth, the most of the time. Except for fast battery drain while using my phone. 13%-15% per hour with screen on and wifi on. Deep sleep is fine, though.

EDIT: "And we've got even worse news for the owners of Xperia arc, Xperia PLAY, Xperia neo, Xperia mini, Xperia mini pro, Xperia pro, Xperia active, and Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman, which will have to wait until the end of May or beginning of June to receive their Ice Cream Sandwich update."

Are you kidding me, Sony? -_-"

My led fix should works on all Arc/Arc S with KA11
Cheers mate, worked a treat

Been very please with KA11, but my only real issue is battery drain when Wi-Fi is on. Forgot to turn off Wi-Fi last night when I went to bed and my phone dropped about 40-45% battery overnight. With WiFI off, the drop is minimal. Its like it won't go into deep sleep with WiFi on.

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.

Hmmm....not had problem with Anrgy Birds Space on my Arc.maybe try reinstalling it? Try the LED fix above by dbox, works perfect

I'm using Llama program to manage my phone and wifi, gps and few other functions is turned off automatically at night. It's very friendly for battery.

Yes, wifi drains battey.. But Sony will release ICS soon for Arc S, Neo V and Ray, so I probably will be able to fix some bugs with those sources :D

Yes, Angry birds space etc must work without problems ;) nice tip about Llama ;) I didn't knew that before :)

And LED fix is attached in first post now ;) Thanks to dbox :D

hmm mine shows arc s instead of arc lol:p

Also guys is it just me or anyone else having this problem,

When you receive a call or make a call and have the phone next to your ear, when the call is finished and you remove phone from ear the screen stays dark and doesn't light up so you cant press the end call button, If you press power button or any other button the screen doesn't light up. the only time screen light up again is when the other person hangs up. and until then you have a dead phone and you have to remove battery and re start phone.....

If you are using build.prop update for Arc S then PC shows you Arc S :)

Thanks will give this a try. Strange name for an app, thats the last thing I would expect it to do! Come to think of it, not sure what I would expect it to do! Cheers for the tip anyway

can we get a fix in for this end call issue pls as it seems all seems fine apart from this one little issue????

Sometimes (random) it's working properly. This bug is irritating for me. Now I'm going to KA10 for tests.

Edit: Fix for this attached to my post. LED brightness fix is included in attached end call fix.
For test my fix call to your voice mail and report if it works or not works.

Click Thanks if you like my fix.

If you don't need the function to end the call, you can install it directly. If you need this function don't do it :)

I installed KA11 after KA09 there's no such problem.

---------- Post added at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

I think the room is good, fast and every things working, but the battery drain in KA09 is better than KA11, and I didn't find 10MP camera and genie widget maybe they don't work.
Any way thanks a lot krabappe the room is nice :)

EDIT:Should I use doomkernel to fix the battery drain? (is it better than ics beta ?)

    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,

    krabappel2548

    No problem. Is the led fix in the first post the same like the one from yesterday?

    It's my fix for led brightness, it working on my Arc with KA11, so you can try it on your phone.
