I am losing signal as well sometimes with this new 70 baseband, especialy when phone is in pocket and not used, then when I turn screen ON, I see that little red x on siglan strenght bars and yelow triangle in nottification tray that says: service unavailable.. This (almost) never happen to me when I was on GB arconium with 36 baseband and DoomKernel, but I guess someone will find workarround... either way, it doesn't bother me a lot...
I have read somewhere that this works on other basebands (64, 56 even 36...) but I am unwilling to try this because of lazyness and because now everything works fine for me.
I am on arconium 2.1 with Stock+CMW kernel and this works just fine for me.

There is one thing I want to share with you guys, but majority of you may allready know that: Set CPU app isn't working properly with this ROM on ICS. It seem that app looses SU privileges and/or asks for it too often. Consequence of this is that cpu and all OS is anoyed all the time by that interaction or loop if that word fits here...
For excelent results I use (for) now No-Frills CPU controll app - and I highly recomend it to everyone. It may not have profiles, nor ease of acces via nottification tray but it gets job done and after seting lowest and highest cpu speed, governor and scheduler it never asks again for superuser rights.
Once over or under clocked this ROM behaves much more smooth and snapy.
I am aware that almost all have heared about No-Frills long time ago (at least I have) but I guess there are still out there few users who aren't and also some of them who use SetCPU only because they have pay for it...
(btw. I have underclocked mine min368-max806 MHz, performance and deadline - with that I have fine performance and excelent battery life: I have now 62% of battery and I am already over 17h on this charge... so two days, easily without heavy data usage for browsing and gaming a lot...)

Doomed i think that could be amazing if you could release an Arconium version with dialer,messaging and contacts locked in memory by default.
Supercharger bulletproof app in ICS is a little hard to configure.

What I mean is that whenever I connect my phone to my pc it says 'SD card connected to PC'. When I was on stock fw it used to connect in MTP mode and now it doesn't and I can't changed it even though it's set to connect in MTP mode. When I try using adb shell it say device not connected when it is. So what has happened to make it for that?

I changed to MTP mode and it connected with MTP flawlessly. Did you try on a clean install?

adb works fine too. If it's already enabled in Developer Options, make sure you have the drivers installed properly.

Yes I did a clean install but I might have to do it again by the looks of things.

I just reinstalled you're ROM, saved what i needed from my sd card, partitioned it, then I thought i'd see if it has fixed my problem by connecting the usb cable and I still see it saying sd card connected to pc. I made sure I did a factory reset and also prior to using aroma I wiped all the caches. Not sure what's going on but i've had this problem since the first time I install 2.2.

I think that you have the same problem that I had:
- Before ICS, when you connected usb cable, nothing happend (except to charge the battery). You had to choose the option MTP in the toolbar to access the SDcard since the PC.
- With ICS, when you plug the cable, the SDCard is automatically connected to your PC (if you choosen MTP in the default option), even you didn't select anything to connect it.
If like me, you're using a widget to connect the SDcard, and don't want to have an automatic connection when plugging it...
You can try this operation: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1607650
Remark: if you don't have such widget, it doesn't correspond to that you're searching...

Is it possible to disable the LED's that separate the back, home and menu buttons? When I'm using my phone in the dark they annoy me for some reason.

Just discovered an issue: After using a ROM for few days I´ve started experiencing issues with Digital Clock Widget. When it happens you can notice that time on Widget differs from the one on status bar, gets stuck on widget. If you try to remove and add the widget again it doesnt show time anymore until the next reboot. I think it happens when phone goes to sleep, the clock on the widget stops sync with system clock.

Just noticed in Apps that the whole Digital Clock app size in "all" was on 53MB after cleaning the data on the digital clock time appears on the widget but seems to still not synchronizing with system clock. Any idea what could cause it?

***UPDATE***

I flashed back to stock GB and connected usb cable and the result was MTP mode works. Flashed back to 2.2 and what do you know? Same problem. It keeps connecting the SD card instead of MTP mode. I think this needs to be fix cos it causes problems for me and I don't think I'd be the only one experiencing this.

***EDIT***

Maps keeps force closing.

No problems for me. Goto Settings>Xperia>Connectivity>USB Connection Mode and change the settings there. What kernel are you using btw?

DooMKernel ICS v4

I have settings to connect in MTP mode. I did a clean install so by default it should use those settings like it does with stock GB.
