Troubleshooting

• If you experience lags or slowdowns after updating to a new version, 'Wipe Dalvik Cache' in CWM -> Advanced.

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.

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.

How to create your own custom rom ?

No installation problems, but fast first boot.
Looking forward to se what influence this ROM might have on battery drain.
Only one more thing, I still use the DooMKernel v12 with modded CWM.

I'll be back to morrow after a fully test day.

Impressive, I always wanted to have such a lite version, ( maybe even with Stock launcher when ICS came, unless SE comes with something interesting !! )

but sadly I have locked bootloader and does not want to unlock it now, maybe later after 1 year when SE stops updates or when no root is possible without unlocking the bootloader...


so what can I remove from preloaded apps to have such lite se stock ? I really loved the internal storage free !! I feel like I'm seeing a faked or dream

I already have .42 rooted and Titanium Backup, and already removed some pre-installed apps like News & Weather and golf game etc.. but I didn't remove any SE widgets and kept some other SE apps not for a reason.. just I saw them too small to worry about...

so can we have a list of removed apps/widgets and what you kept ?

I don't know, what doomed151 removed, but here (The Complete Comprehensive List of System Apps for Xperia Arc (Updated)) is a list with apps and widget, which can be removed from stock ROM (and a list with apps you should not touch

 

[doomed151]

so can we have a list of removed apps/widgets and what you kept ?

I didn't write them down but I'll try to list to the best I can:

Removed
- Timescape
- Facebook integration services
- McAfee
- UEFA and Hot Shots
- Hidden services (SecureClock etc.)
- SEMC Email
- LiveWare Manager

Kept
- Almost every other widgets and apps

Those screenshots of the app drawer might help

Thanks for the feedback. This confirms the WiFi issue.

Thanks for the feedback. This confirms the WiFi issue.

I'm not quite sure of that - my wifi works fine with stock .42

Install Recovery, tweak a stock ROM, back it up, upload your backup here, although Clockwork backups do not equal a "custom rom" in the true sense.

Thanks for the feedback. This confirms the WiFi issue.

+1

DHCP doesn't work, when I use static IP the WIFI works fine.
