I replaced it with go launcher too, and it's very smooth.

The annoying thing that I found on this last Nightly, is the rotation screen, sometimes when you totate to landscape, the screen shows only the middle of the image, rest is black.

Never had that problem

So after a week or so of use, I noticed I get strange battery drain in CM7.2 that I do not get in others. Specifically, I get 1% off every 30-35 minutes in phone idle (122 Mhz min), only thing on is GSM standby. For the other ROMs I tried 1% would last up to 90 minutes.

I've done checking what consumes it and its nothing, phone always in deep sleep. Nothing unusual also in betterbatterystats. Perhaps this is the trade-off of how this ROM manages things and makes it fast. Even my testing of Temple Run Brave runs great, no lags and instant response.

Also, I did not see Bravia Engine (in any options). I can't say if it is active already, I dunno. Was this implemented at all in this ROM?

Until I get tired of this and the mood strikes, I will try other rom again. However, I will always remember that this is the best rom I had tried.

Yeah! Battery seem to drain pretty quick. But there is no mobile bravia engine in this rom. Only in rom that base on official from Sony have this setting. Anyway mobile bravia engine only work in stock Xperia gallery.

I see. I better research more on the Bravia Engine if its just a placebo. As I know it only works on photos and videos when displayed on the phone screen. To be honest I never use stock gallery, I use QuickPic which is 10000% better than it, and for the video player I use MX Video.

In any case, I already left CM7.2 due to the battery drain. Tried JJHybrid ROM to give a chance to ICS again, but I really am allergic to the lag and overall slowness must be the hardware really being stressed by ICS.

Went back to Arconium 8.2 now and intend to stick with this (until a new ICS comes along again). Going thru all these ROMs make me appreciate the speed, response, and management of Gingerbread.

As far as experience is concerned, Arconium 8.2 is as speedy, fast, and overall like CM7.2 but without the battery drain and still has the Sony Ericsson experience (ie. launcher, icons). You have to try it, if you haven't.

Is there some mod for GB that gives the rotational effect to the screen?.

Yes. Try look at Android development thread.

mmm, That's not what I asked for. I'm not talking about the Launcher, just the navite rotation effect that CM7.2, CM9 and ICS have

I'm testing CM7 about one week, and, of course is very very fast, the best rom for our Arc, but battery drained "very very fast". I think that FXP need solve this (35% at night)

But, of course, great job FXP team!

Waiting bug fixes!!
