Racing Bean Version 3.1!​

(Rom for Xperia Arc and Arc S)

Description:

Racing Bean is a Jelly Bean based Rom for your Xperia Arc/S. It is simply the perfect blend between Battery life and pure speed. Gaming and multitasking. Sony and Nexus user interface. Latest Android features and stability.
But the best thing about this feature-packed rom is its speed. With a brilliant Antutu benchmark score of 6565, the Xperia Arc S surpasses even the Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1”. Testers have claimed it is the fastest rom available.

Changelog/Features:

Version 1.0

- Based on the latest Cm10 release by Fxp
- Gapps included
- Supercharged, adrenaline boosted, sysctl tweaked and zipaligned.
- Beats Audio
- A camera with 6mp 16:9 photos

- Mass Storage Mode
- A working panorama app by Sony Ericsson.
- Adfree built into system (no Adfree app, no ads)
- My very own vast collection of tweaks for a far better experience
- Choice between Cm10's Aosp home launcher or good old Xperia Home
- Nexus 4 boot animation
- Surprisingly battery friendly, lasting more than 2 days with 5 and a half hours of screen on time
- A nice sleek background to a few dark themed apps like Settings and TB.
- Deleted a lot of poor message, ringtone and alarm tones and added the good old Sony Ericsson ones for easier picking on tones. (Thanks Hotfingers)
- Far better Ram consumption, up to 223mb free and amazing multitasking
- Android 4.2 keyboard, Google Play Music and Gmail app with pinch to zoom. (Thanks SafariKing)
- Very Stable with HDMI being the only bug and rarely any FCing
- Absolutely blazingly fast. With this ROM the Xperia Arc S has outperformed several dual core devices with a 6565 score in Antutu Benchmark. Perhaps the fastest rom available for Xperia Arc and Arc S.

i believe there's a thread that headfox created about his racing bean, that's the place to post your Q. but to make it short, headfox' racing bean comes with AROMA, the addons are there, you only need to chose the one that fits you.

Hi,

Thanks for a great ROM. My phone feels all new again.
There are two things that upset me:
1. The camera aspect ratio does not use the whole width. This I can live with.
2. GPS does not lock on to satellites, therefore I'm left without navigation. Goggle maps flicker (top part jumps down to the bottom and back to where it should be), the arrow marking my location is freaking out.
I noticed there are several posts about the GPS not working, but not one of them has been answered.
Help please.
