Thanks!

Could you explain a little what new optimization does it have?

I like ICS but I'm afraid GB runs much better on our beloved devices, I'm very happy you still supporting this ROM.

Thanks!

ICS do have weird problem with touch responsive while playing game like Temple Run and bunch of other games, too.

I'm in doubt if the GB battery is better ICS :-?

Mostly VM adjustments and moving the su binary to bin instead of xbin.

Battery should be good on both, on the right kernel that is.

As I am still on GB, and use your ROM, I just flashed new v8.2 and it's really GREAT. I updated from v8.0 (skiped v8.1) and used your flashable .zip file for bringing back old Superuser and my phone is just Flying...;) I just wiped Cache and Dalvik-Cache...:)

I will test it more but till now I have no issue and everything works Great!

Thank you very much for updating GB ROM even that everybody is running to ICS...:) I will stay on GB till ICS don't become fluent and themable as GB...:)

I'm now again on ICS to try the latest release but I have to say GB is still way faster and more responsive. The only advantage of ICS is copy-paste integration and a better task manager. I'm still to lazy to swith back, but if the final rom is not more responisve than I'm definately going "back".

I'd just flash straightaway but make a backup just to be safe.

Back to this ROM :), couldn't stand ICS anymore. Only thing is that version 8.2 is not compatible with Toggle2G resigning (bootloop). Resigning and installing version 8.1 and after that installing 8.2 as an update works fine though. Tnx!

I will not install ICS anymore. It's just not for 512MB ram, so not for Arc/Arc S.
Like all OS-es/softwares - as they evolve, they require more resources (memory,processor power, etc). My opinion is that ICS will not run smooth on any device who doesn't have at least 2 cores x 1GHz each and 1GB ram.
So, I think it is a waste of time trying to optimize something that is not "built" for such hardware. My guess is that's why this delay in releasing ICS for devices. Google realised that it is too "heavy" for "old" single core devices, with less than 1GB ram, so waited for 2 x cores/1GB ram to be released by majority of manufacturers. It was a little ahead of it's time :)

    3. Add-ons

    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.

    Don't forget to hit 'Thanks' if you like this ROM ;)
    If you really like it, please consider some donations. It would also help me cover filehosting fees.

    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.

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.

    Click to collapse

    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.
