Yes, you can use DooMKernel, it's recommended to use that.
As for CWM in stock kernel, there's none that I know of. Try searching around.

Hi guys, I just got my new Xperia ARC S a few days ago...:) I Rooted it and Unlock the Bootloader and this is the first ARC ROM that I flashed...:) It is working great, smooth and no issue so far...:)

I have only one question... I wanted to make a theme with UOT kitchen but its asking me for SistemUI.apk file which is not present in this ROM... Any other theming for ARC that I found on this forum is talking about SistemUI.apk... I did found the file named SemcGenericUxpRes.apk which is similar to SistemUI.apk when I look at files in the .apk, but how to change theme in this ROM with UOT Kitcehen or other way when I do not have the right file?

Thanks in advance...:)

Hi, sorry to ask a seemingly daft question.

We've been discussing here about whether or not this ROM will work on a phone with a locked bootloader but CWM installed. It has ben suggested that since this uses stock kernel, it should in theory boot fine on a device with a locked bootloader.

Does someone with more experience and knowledge about how this stuff works fancy confirming or debunking this?

Many thanks!

If you are able to flash this thru CWM by any means, it should definitely work, regardless of locked/unlocked bootloader. Just make sure you have the right kernel and baseband.

Brilliant. Doing a clean install by wiping the phone through CWM shouldnt remove the stock kernel then should it?

(I'm currently getting problems downloading the ROM, getting download interrupted errors whatever I use to download it. Probably just my computer so I'll test as soon as it's working)

Why the move to baseband 56? Isn't that baseband responsible for the high battery drainage that we see in other ROMs/Kernels?

    Old Files

    Known Issues

    • Enabling 3G and mobile data results in a moderate battery drain even during sleep.

    Troubleshooting

    • If you experience lags or slowdowns after updating to a new version, 'Wipe Dalvik Cache' in CWM -> Advanced.
    • If you use Link2SD, make sure to 'Recreate Mount Script'.
    • If you use DarkTremor's Apps2SD, make sure to reflash it in CWM.

    Installation

    1. Copy update zip to SD card.
    2. Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery.
    3. (RECOMMENDED) Make a Backup.
    4. If you want a clean install of the main ROM, do a factory reset. Otherwise, skip this step.
    5. Flash zip package(s) (always flash main ROM first).
    6. Reboot.

    arconium 7.0 beta 3

    Keep in mind that this is a test build. Anything can happen, from an exploding phone to a flying chicken. Only flash if you know what you're doing.

    Make a CWM backup before flashing.

    update-arconium-7.0b3.zip (108 MB) Works on both LT15 (arc) and LT18 (arc S).
    update-arconium-FBInside_Timescape-v5.zip (5.99 MB / 4 Feb) Do not flash v4 with 7.0 betas, use this one instead.

    Beta 3 (9 Feb)
    • Moved SIM Toolkit back to data (uninstallable).
    • Moved SEMCSetupWizard.apk back to system. Probably fixes the Home button issue.
    • Tweaks are redone.
    • BusyBox v1.19.3 now loads properly.
    • Updated Superuser binary to 3.0.3.2.

    Beta 2 (4 Feb)
    • Updated Superuser binary.
    • Updated BusyBox to v1.19.3.
    • Updated Street View.
    • Readded ANT support.
    • Moved SIM Toolkit to /system partition.

    Beta 1 (4 Feb)
    • ~215 MB free memory on clean install.
    • Removed "Power save mode". It's pretty useless.
    • Removed "Data monitor". Very inaccurate, grab one from the Market instead, like 3G Watchdog.
    • Removed ANT support. Tell me if any of you even use it.
    • Removed various apk and DRM related stuff.
    • More lenient tweaks. Should not cause any negative effects on performance anymore, especially after long usage.
    • Moved "SEMCSetupWizard.apk" to /data/. Make sure to uninstall it after first boot because it eats useful RAM.
    • Updated the following:
      • Facebook.
      • Google Quick Search Box.
      • Maps.
      • Superuser.
      • Adobe Flash Player.
      • YouTube.
    • Moved some more EventStream components into FB Inside / Timescape package.
    Maybe some other stuff I don't remember.

    People like me still love gb...no matter wat ics and jb has , it won't be able to deliver the performance like gb...,I mean wat else we need? We have quicktoggles, swipe to remove notification, battery %, kill app by back button, 5x4 drawer,nxt lockscreen, home pref, tiny apps, new launcher, xperia z apps, xperia z framework, adreno drivers, 230+ free ram, hell lot of games, blah blah blah and still an unmatched performance....GB is the best,,, devs should cook more n more gb based roms.....

    I normally use zepellinrox supercharger v6, will the tweaks you have added conflict? I'll try later on or tomorrow and post any feedback. The only request I would put is for an integrated 7-screen home, I normally flash this but it saves time... Thanks for the work anyway.

    It won't conflict. As for the home screen, I'll keep the stock version. If I change the apk to something else, then it wouldn't be stock anymore. Thanks for testing.
