[Q] Paying for the Custom ROM??

Hi,
I was gifted the Sony Ericsson Arc as a replacement for my current phone the HTC Desire. After using the HTC Desire for the last 1 year , I am finding it very difficult to get used to the Sony Ericsson UI (problems like : no smart dialer, the contacts are all messed up,all the text size is huge, the randomly flickering display etc..).
I was wondering whether there is anyone or any place I can pay money to create a custom ROM. When I say custom ROM I dont mean Cyanogen or others like that (I mean the stock ROM with the proper replacements for dialer,contacts editor, facebook integration etc..) , I just want a ROM on my phone which will look and feel like the HTC Sense UI (again I am not asking for the actual Sense UI, as I understand thats impossible).
Thanks.
Any help is appreciated.

You understand the HTC apps require the sence framework, so they will not work on the arc, there are many other dialer and contacts replacements, you can download from the market, Go dialer and contacts for example is excellent

The makers of TouchPal Keyboard have a smart dialer app called TouchPal Dialer. Haven't tried it out but it's available for free on the market.
The android 2.3.3 update brought Facebook integration to the xperia range.

How does relate to my post?

Thanks for the info.

Sorry, I should have explained. You wanted a custom ROM basically a stock ROM but a replacement for the dialer, right? I was just pointing out an app using which you could replace the stock dialer (and which supported smart dialing).
Facebook integration was another aspect you mentioned.
xboxfanj posted a thread by which you could the Sense 3.0 Lockscreen using Agile Lock. You can find it here.
EDIT: Sorry, I misread your post. I thought you wanted a stock arc ROM with the necessary changes; not the HTC ROM. Ooops!
But hey, I got the Sense 3.0 Lockscreen part right. LOL!

Blagus is working on a HTC Sense port for Xperia Play http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174309 once he starts the work it maybe matter of time once we get it for Arc since both are almost similar. If your talking about hiring someone then talk to one of the developers who are willing to accept the offer.

Well that's kind of the problem, I don't know which developer to ask. I can't do a post in the Sony Arc Development sub forum, cause the rules say I can't post Q&A queries in the forums. Is there any one I can ask or PM to find out how to build this custom ROM ??

As anyone else can tell you, a custom rom for the arc maybe a while before all the functions are workable, the camera is the problem, so maybe do as others have suggested and use third party apps to get the experience your after

The main problem with custom ROM is going to be Camera function because Arc has the latest Camera technology they haven't released the drivers or source for it so developers can make it work on custom ROM. So we have to wait until someone manage to port one so others can use it.

Thanks for the reply.
However I have explained in my first post that the kind of custom ROM I am asking is based on the stock ROM with appropriate replacements for the dailer,contacts,facebook integration,text size etc... Basically I want to simulate a Sense UI.

Perhaps a theme could you help you out for the time being till someone makes a custom ROM for you? At least you should be able to get similar icons, background wallpaper etc.

4.1

Rom 4.1 to be released in the Ark s?

Nope, not from SONY.
No one of the 2011 Xperias will get JellyBean.
You have to flash CyanogenMod10 (CM10) or other AOKP based ROM.
Look on the link in the first line in my signature, in this thread you find a lot of ROMs.

This ROM supports Bravia Thecnologie? If not, will them support in futere? It's possible?

Which ROM ? CM10? Don´t know, have not tested it.
But look in the threads of the ROMs, there you always find a Changelog, or can ask questions there.

Roms jb based. In changelog don't ever write about this

So then ask in the threads of the ROM you want to use

!!!
i tryed 50% of roms .but nothing found with this feature

XPERIA ARC/S JELLY BEAN 4.1.2 V04 VERY STABE AND NICE v01 i read this features:
...
- Support xLound and Bravia Engine
- Added WALKMAN player from xperia T
...

Now i ask for v04 if Bravia is always support. I'm waiting the response for these good rom.

So maybe Bravia engine is just available in stock-based ROMs.
Like HDMI....

HDMI can be replaced with DNLA server or antoher method. I put video in HDusb connected with router and i watch them on tv lcd 40" through router with server DLNA. There are more method for watch video in HD but Bravia engine is not replaceable on the smart.
So maybe Bravia engine is just available in stock-based ROMs.

It's available for all rom ics based but it's maybe not available for rom Jelly Bean based

Yep, that´s what i mean.
No original Sony JB, so no Bravia & HDMI on custom JB.
I really hope Sony will give the driversources to the XDA-Devs... would be great if they don´t want make a 4.1/4.2 stockROM. :fingers-crossed:
Well, DLNA is an option, and i also use it, but it´s cool to watch movies at a friend just using the miniHDMI/HDMI cable at a friend who has no network attached TV.

I agree with you though i don't think that Sony give their source, at least until they have updated their devices to jb

Yea, but i don´t think that they ever will do that for us Xperia2011 owner, even if the 2012 all have their JB.
Maybe they are afraid that the XDA-Devs do the better job than their programmers.... :laugh:
and there also will probably be copyright things with qualcomm and other companys.

a little request

hi all
i have a little requset
can someone make lockscreen music widget + 3 way reboot and that silent and airplane mod for stock rom?
i tried too much to do it my self but i didnt find guides for fully working everything
im now using files form other roms but im getting a different style because of them i need stock felling with these futures
anyone can help?

Music widget lockscreen uses Xperia Go framework, that means that you will have a feel of NXT 2012 xperia's. So if you want the stock look, you will need to port the lockscreen music files to our stock framework. That means a lot of work

but we have them in many roms
i ported it using xperia go framework with a guide on xda but its had some bugs

i found a fully working nxt lockscreen for play (or maybe its like others. i dont know)

any one has a guide for adding 3 way reboot and that silent and airplane mod ?

In theory, it should work in every GB rom that have NXT framework (so uxpnxtlockscreen.apk can be replaced). I know only that KrisDee's Xperia NXT2 r1 have it, but don't know about others...

i replaced it but this lockscreen didnt work on play
i think we cant use x10 mods
