and now i can get in to android . stuck in the lock menu .

Hmm.. I assume that your ROM have been modified by yourself or something wrong with the zip file.. can you try to redownload my build and make a fresh install? My build should not have any problem except camera.. ;)

i had try using this step .
1. Format SDcard To 4 Partitions :
- 1st partition: FAT32 (SDcard / Rest)
- 2nd partition: EXT3 (System / about 150 MB )
- 3rd partition: EXT3 (Data / about 250 MB)
- 4th partition: EXT3 (Cache / about 100 MB)

* Make sure all partitions are set to PRIMARY

2. Extract the Package then copy [npkboot] folder to root of SDcard

3. Copy [ARCDroid V5.zip] to root of SDcard without extraction

4. Run Haret and wait until the screen show 'Press Volume Down shortly To Launch ClockworkMod Recovery', press Volume Down button

5. While In Recovery menu, choose " install zip from SD card >> choose zip from sdcard >> select ARCDroid V5.zip'

6. After finish installing the build, return to main menu >> Reboot phone

7. Run Haret, this time let the phone boot into Android completely. After that, reboot your phone

8. Run Haret, go into CWM Recovery, choose " install zip from SD card >> choose zip from sdcard >> select 'ARCDroid GAPPS.zip'

9. After finish install, reboot phone

10. Run HARET and leave it to continue booting into Android, you are done

and result it's same . stuck a.k.a freeze again in the lock screen .
i'm wanna android in my X1 . :mad:

Hey guys, I'm proud to present to you all my second custom Android build, I call it ARCDroid.

This build is based on my first Android build SenseDroid, and heavily themed by me to make it Xperia Arc-like style.

*What's in the build:

-TimeScape
- Track ID
- Wifi Tether
- FULL Arabic support
- Xperia Arc-like theme
- Xperia Arc style lock screen
- Xperia Arc Widgets and stuff
- All the features that have in SenseDroid

*For your information:

- Youtube can only play non-HQ video
- System will be slower when first time boot into Android:
- Open all apps, then reboot your phone
- TimeScape widget is working, BUT the TimeScape app in app drawer is not working. However you still can connect Timescape with Facebook and Twitter
- I will using EXT3 system starting from V5

*Important:

- First time boot into Android, go to 'Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > uncheck Data Enabled'. VERY IMPORTANT
- DO NOT install GAPPS directly after finish installing the build or else you will get a serious problem
- NEVER try to sync your phone with Google before installing GAPPS or else you will get serious problem
- Wifi have to switch on before booting Android or else you will get error message
- Silent the phone before booting Android so that you will have sound in Android
- Charge your phone before booting Android so that you can charge your phone in Android
- Go to Setting > Location & Security > Check 'Use wireless networks' so that you can use your GPS
- Do not use 'Infinite mode' and Timescape in app drawer because they will force close.









*Installing Instructions:

1. Format SDcard To 4 Partitions :
- 1st partition: FAT32 (SDcard / Rest)
- 2nd partition: EXT3 (System / about 150 MB )
- 3rd partition: EXT3 (Data / about 250 MB)
- 4th partition: EXT3 (Cache / about 100 MB)

hello sir jerrytan93! thanks for your effort to breathe some life on this old but great device. :) i have a question though, i successfully installed arcdroid (along with windows 6.1) and also tried icedroid which is pretty neat but for some reason icedroid was really slow unlike arcdroid which feels really smooth. was it just me? :(

it's not only you.. it happened to everyone else that using NAND, no matter is pure CM7 or my IceDroid.. it looks like when using NAND we are getting less free RAM (I get 60MB MAX) compare with CWM (120MB++).. and I believe it was the kernel that controlling this.. :cool:

we are getting the first NAND ROM not longer than a year, and CWM was developed for few years until achieving such stability and functionally today.. hope you all get what I mean.. ;)

Now you got some time left while not working on your NAND maybe its time for a update on your ArcDroid?

Maybe an idea to put gen.y dualboot in it?

Duckly's turbo-kernel is a good 1 to use maybe?

Install problems

Hello jerrytan93 !! frist of all thanks for your great job !! Its amazing to make this possible on a WinMo native device ;-)

But i have a little problem with your builds =( I made the EXT3 partitions I named them like its explained on the first topic.

All seems fine except that the phone hang on the start-up animation , the animation plays and plays ,stops sometimes and resume after a few seconds and I'm waiting for 15 min (at the time of writing)

Anyway there is a file I can modify for your build to install on my phone ?

I'm so frustrated cause I wanted to test your builds but sencedroid have the same bug for me, so i'm stuck...Please help !! =D

PS/ Sorry for my english I hope that I was understandable enough lol
