Im going to try this tomorrow as i cannot get the official "official" ics for some reason. Is there a way to flash a baseband other than flashtool?

    ok guys so here it is...

    FIRSTLY A BIG THANK YOU TO WHOEVER LEAKED THE ROM FOR US :)

    and thanks to kes4817 for posting the FTF here on XDA


    this is pre-rooted, mostly untouched, stock 4.1.A.0.562 LEAKED ICS 4.0.3 ROM from Sony

    [ WARNING ]


    1. THIS IS AN LEAKED ROM


    2. FEW THINGS ARE EXPECTED NOT TO WORK


    3. I AM NOT A ROM DEVELOPER... THIS WAS POSTED JUST SO THAT ARC USERS CAN HAPPILY ENJOY THE LEAKED ICS ROM (that too prerooted ;) )


    4. MORE THINGS WILL FOLLOW AS AND WHEN I/OTHERS CAN GET THEM TO WORK


    5. DO NOT ASK FOR FURTHER UPDATES/ETA


    6. ALL USER DATA (from /data partition) WILL BE WIPED WHILE INSTALLING THIS



    [ features ]

    1. Easy to flash update.zip via recovery
    2. Prerooted with superuser and busybox installed


    the original firmware was very big so i had to delete some region specific apps... if u guys want them u can get the APKs here:
    http://icxperia.com/doomlord/arc/ics_fw_562/deleted_apps/



    additional a few more apps can also be deleted if u want to make space:
    • /system/app/chinesetextinput.apk
    • /system/app/JapaneseIME.apk
    • /system/app/officesuite.apk
    this will clear additional 20 MB space on /system partition




    [ what works? ]

    • everything that i have tested so far
    • WiFi/BT (no need of build.prop edits)
    • already Rooted
    • GSM/WCDMA data


    [ what doesnt work? ]

    Google Apps are not included (check 2nd post)

    anything else let me know!!!



    [ requirements ]

    • stock .62 firmware (use FTF) [i have only tested on baseband -64 which comes with .62 FW i dont know if it will work on other basebands]

    Using Doomkernel v04 and this new leakes rom - but does it support init.d tweaks?

    also these are the issues I experience on my Arc S:

    - No keyboard (Xperia Keyboard is present in settings, but it does nto show for eg. wifi password dialog.)

    - Home button not working (using latest Apex launcher)

    yes all kernels posted by me have init.d support (tested)

    all that works well, just do a factory reset and select the right language at startup... also make sure that u change the default Keyboard in settings...

    Thanks for your work on arc Doom, is it because it's Chinese release no market and position finder is different?

    What are the differences Between this ROM and the ICS Beta ROM released a few weeks ago by Sony?
