[ROM][ARC/ARC S] Arconium ICS 5.0 - "Woop!" [FW:587][1 Nov]
- Thread starter doomed151
- Start date
Oh wow, how come I didn't think of that? I'll just make a separate DSP Manager add-on.
Reasons why I didn't remove those stuff are edited in quote.
Could you please take a look over that
make the display size a bit bigger so you can draw the widgets a bit more down
my music player always redraws the title picture maybe you can do sth against that. THX

Thank you doomed I understand!
And I have to admit that I'm using your roms since a few month because they are close to stock, lightweight, powerfull and stable!
So I'll delete useless apps (for me) with titanium backup for example.
I'm wondering if your roms are 'supercharged' by default?
There are 3 remaining problems (for me):
- Battery life (bug in SE/ICS rom, hope that will be fixed through an upcoming doomkernel after SE release kernel source code?)
- Missing overclock/undervolt (same reason)
- Voice search give a FC on my arc...
- Facebook pictures are not shown in contact book

From what people said, it's 50% SuperCharged by default.
- Probably someone will fix it once Sony release the sources.
- You don't say?
- I'll look into it. No promises though.
- Weird, it shows up fine here. Have you synced it?
Okay, supercharging seems a bit difficult for me (is there a real performance boost ?)
I'll give a try...
FB sync was working fine for me with arconium 4.x to 7.x
But with ICS only some contacts have their picture, strange !
And thank you very much for your great work !

You might have a bit of work to do there, porting the AOSP Music player.
I deleted SemcMusic.apk and put in the ICS Music.apk instead (I'm using LauncherPro and I wanted a Music widget)... everything went great until I turned off the screen, with music playing in the background.
The stock lockscreen music controls kick in and starts changing tracks every 2-3 seconds. It won't stop until you unlock the screen and open the music app, at which point, playback returns to normal. Very weird...
Titanium backup is working fine
The only thing I noticed is that you should not integrate sys dalvik or apps to rom
A few other apps have some issues, for example startup manager from ES task manager won't work.
You should try this rom, my arc has never been so fast ! (more than 1000 points in vellamo without overclock !)

Feedback
Hi Doomed, i just want to say thanks for all the hard work from version to version on this rom,im using the V4 on a daily basis and no issues. Suprisingly i only lost 15% battery in like 15 hours which includes messing with the phn, taking a few pictured etc so im more dan happy so far
I think having add ons for the 2 players will be awsome so we can choose, also can you please do the same for the galleries? SO we can add on the ICS or Stock depends on what we prefer?
Other dan that the Rom is stable and fast, just my personal experience while playing with it for the last 24 hours.I will keep using this Rom and cant wait for a 100% working Doomkernel for it

Hmmm . What version of dsp manager works with this awesome Rom ? Hope u will release it
! Your Rom rocks !Sent from my LT18i using XDA
I just checked them all, every one works for me, Wifi, Bluetooth, Airoplane mode etc.Some widgets not work when turn off : wifi, bt...etc
No probs here.
My arc has been online for 25 hours now and i still have 68% battery left so im still happy
I have a small question:
At the first boot in one homescreen there were 3 widgets:
1. The music player
2. Photos and videos
3. Media shortcut (the one with the 3 icons -music,gallery,videos)
I accidentally deleted the last one and now when I try to insert it again it says that there is not enough room in that homescreen.
Besides deleting all data from Home (which will reset to default and obviously will again have the widgets correctly, but I will loose all folders and will need to create them again..) is there another thing I could do???
TIA
I love your ROM

This Rom is beautiful, but... one question...
Did is possible to downgrade from Android 4.0.3 to Android 2.3.4 and .62 Firmware?
Did is possible to downgrade from Android 4.0.3 to Android 2.3.4 and .62 Firmware?
No you can't do that bcoz this rom is based from 4.0.3 although you can do that but it'll become heavily laggy.
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
Of course. Just flash back a Gingerbread ROM and kernel or the .62 ftf itself.
i want someone to upload the files that are needed to view the contact pages, infiniteview or whatever they are called.
doomed, not sure if this is ROM related, but starting here first,
I intermittently have my SD Card become 'Invisible' to the phone, i have to reboot the phone for it to be visible again. It's weird, you can access and view files from Root Explorer, but, when selecting to play music via the music player, or selecting a ring tone from your music library, it says no music can be found.
The same with my pictures, they are there, then after sometime, maybe a day or so, they dissappear, and all i can see are my online facebook albums.
Again, a reboot resolves this, not to sure if this is a Sony ICS related bug, or ROM specific.
Anyone else get this?

Please do NOT use any of my customized scripts for your own release. Using them as reference is fine though.

- As with stock ICS, phone/contacts may take a while to start for the first time after boot.
