Hi can someone help a noob like me?
My Xperia arc's stock version was 2.3.2 i updated it while ago expecting that the update i was getting was 4.0 (ics) but then to my surprise it only went up for 2.3.4 and also a change in the Build Number 4.0.2.A.0.62.
Can you help me upgrade mine to 4.0? what should i do and what are the steps? thanks, i hope i could get an answer here, i badly wanna have that OS
ICS isn't available for SE models as of now. If I were you, I would just wait some more time (a month maybe?) until Sony decides to release ICS. Perhaps there is a beta rom port or a CM9 port, but I wouldn't do that if I were you if you don't have any experience flashing roms and kernels.

Hello Guys
First off thank you to everyone for all your hardwork
I am having a problem finding the best Gingerbread rom and the correct basebands that work. I have tried a few and more often than not i have problems with random reboots and error messages. I would like to know which people find out there work the most stable and which combo of rom and basebands please
I have also wondered with Android been an OS for all models of phones can you install a rom on an X10i (my model handset) that has been made and is basically stable as F8*k for example a HD Desire or model that would work on X10i. I think i may know the answer and that been that it isn't possible but i want to ask anyway just to clarify
Lastly a very big thankyou to everyone for all there hard work and time put into the development of the roms so that we can all update our phones when SE couldn't even release updated roms for us. Personally i think it was a case of they didn't release 2.3 for X10i as they had the Arc coming out and 2.3 was probs it's biggest selling point.

Cyanogen CM7.0 RC4 v013 Gingerbread 2.3.3 is the only one I think... arc rom is not really maintained and was more of just a test. you need BB .52 . for me v013 rebooted a lot, but I am going to try v014 later
Hello
Gopdemon thanks for your reply
I have tried both of what you suggested with no luck :-(
I think maybe it's a problem with the baseband rather than the rom?
The GB ROM is unstable right now, even with the custom kernel. I would stick to 2.2 since its like 99-100% done. But you can try this:

Mister J thanks for the link. Thats the rom i am currently on
Thank You
Thanks to everyone that replied. I am now trying to work out which MIUI roms are best with best baseband but always running into issues :-( typed by Kate on behalf of Marti
I know SE said Q2/Q3 for the gingerbread release, but first of all, does anyone have a good idea of exactly when I can be expecting it? and will the devs be porting to work with AT&t since they didnt give it to us =[ ..
BY the way , the froyo Roms are great and some are very stable , Im just curious about using a stable gingerbread rom straight from SE.

I think TRIPS 2.3 MIUI ROM will be stable in no time.
Hi m8, from what i can gather SE didn't provide the exact GB release date...yet. the os will be avaiable only for generic non branded devices, so not every one will get it. At&t should be able to tell u if they will be providing the update.
Personally I've debranded my handset and will flash the generic global .435 kernel when the GB os will be released to see if i can get it through pc compilation.
Hope this helps

What I dont understand is that first of, Se announced that the Xperia cpu power wont be enough for futuring android releases and now they are releasing. Whats the logic in that?
rdannar's superarc is awesome..

They lie as much as I brush my teeth.
Think about how much disinformation, etc... SE has given us.
They say whatever is convenient at the time
Well, as many of you know (and who doesn't, now you know), today at 00:00 google has released the source code of ICS, so now I've got a question: There'll be any ICS based MiniCM version coming soon?
I know this question could seem stupid but I'm really excited about this! [email protected]
i dont know too if theres a release of what is your looking for, but as of now theres a ICS ginger based by Plancton.fr a great ROM based on MiniCM7 pro v21 by Paul-xxx and nicely done...credit to the creators..
check this out..

Well first of all you'd have to wait for an ICS version of Cyanogenmod to come out, and then wait to see whether someone can port it and whether it will run without being terribly laggy on our phones. Short answer - not soon.
So, sorry to ask this here but no "General" forum for the Ray unfortunately...
My wife's Gingerbread Ray is showing some signs of fatigue and I want to update it in order to start with a fresh new Rom.
It's running stock 2.3 right now and I'm not excited to update to the official 4.0 as I've read quite a lot about its very poor reactiveness.
I am planning to go with a custom Rom. I know my wife won't like to change of UI so I'm looking for an optimized official version. But if the phone does get way more responsive with an aosp/cm9 ROM (and I'm pretty sure it will), aosp/cm9.
The thing is that it has to be stable and fully functional cause I won't be updating it daily. Actually, if it was my phone, I would test roms out for a week or two, but it's a no go here : I will have to find the right one right away or she won't be happy !
So what is the best, stable, fast, fully-functional 4.0 ROM out there ? If such thing doesn't exist yet and if I should wait a while, tell me. I'll wait.
Thanks !
the latest 4.0.4 is quite ok, have u tried it?
I think you should ask jj doctor to give you an old jj hyrid rom. Its aosp and stable.Or wait some more time when he relese the final version for 3.0 ROM

should i install the second's link mod? i mean it seems like an update or should i keep the one that i installed today?

MiniCM7 is based on Android 2.3 Gingerbread
MiniCM9 is based on Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich
You can't just upgrade from one to the other, you will need a different kernel as well.
MiniCM9 is still in early development so if you want to avoid issues or hickups stick with what you have now, If you like to experiment and experience the latest google has to offer, by all means try MiniCM9 but make sure you flash the nAa-ICS-03 kernel first and do a full wipe of your system.
actually i am pretty interested in the new android version i would prefer the CM9 but since it's new i will keep my CM7 and i will update to CM9 when i will have more experience and so on
thanks

if you decide to update, don't forget to install nAa-ics-03 kernel before: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636504
