Help with new ROM LewaXperia - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Greetings to all,I have been trying to get my hands dirty (learn a thing or two on ROM development) for a very very long time but never had the courage to take the plunge !
Finally I have decided to do it albeit a safer way,I have tried to port latest LEWAOS to Arc using the porting tool by Abinav2. I also tried others but kept getting one or the other errors.
Have taken the CM10 Nightly and the latest Lewa OS5 for the job and the result was successful to a large extent, The ROM installs fine but won't go past initial boot logo,There is no Boot Loop ! Its simply stuck at starting logo.
Have tried multiple kernels and tried to redo the ROM many times but no joy,One more interesting thing I noticed is in Lewa there is no init.d in etc folder,so how does one deal with it ??
So I finally decided to post it here to ask for some guidance and to check whether someone can actually boot into it.
Here's the ROM LewaXperia
PS: This is my first post on development front so please be gentle and Mods if this is not okay than please do let me know before you take any actions or suggest the right thing to do.
Regards.

Hi,
Guys can anyone please reply ? Did anyone of you try it ?? Results ??

Thanks a lot for the help !! I really Am trying to make it work,But its just not happening.
I tried to change bootclasspath as suggested by you but there is no init.rc in both the ROM's !! So what Am I supposed to do now ? In the extracted folder there is sbin (folder),logo.rle and init,Thats all there are no other file or folder like your video shows.

You posted in the sacred section of development where only developers should me making threads. Also you need to wait 24 hours before bumping your thread if unanswered.

You can't post in the thread, but you can still read it, no?
From that thread:
jkoljo said:
I very much doubt that there is anything wrong with your phone. Did you use the tool with "I have Radio S-OFF" box ticked? Try it with and without. On pretty much all the cases the error is a false message caused by weirdness in HTC drivers. So do not worry. You can reboot.

While doing that check your phone if you get any notification! accept that notification. If not try it on different ROM. It'll work I had the same issue.

Best advice for you better not to try things if your not sure because if you mess it up then it would be over. before you try something then you should KNOW the DO's and DONT's and you should know how to go back or FIX the problem at anytime.
well...there's FAQ thread here. we should ask any question there, not here. maybe you've seen that there're lot of user who didn't obey it. this is because they want to get a quick responses for their post. nevertheless, most of more experienced user will ignore this kind of post. there's no point asking a question here if you need an answer for an expert.
btw, I'll try to answer your question. kernel is a part of os which used by the program (or OS) to communicate with the hardware or the reverse. it also used to boot up and load the OS to the computer (or device). it controlling the app and the hardware behaviour and setting. the structure is kind of like this.
programs<-->kernel<-->hardware
for an instance, when you use a music player, the music player is transmit the digital data to the kernel, then the kernel send the data to speaker as analog data. the same principal works for another app. you'll need googles help if you want to know much more about kernel.
So can i change kernel on my stock rom dxlc1?can i use maroc?
it has bugs...do it with your own risk

I don't think there are serious bugs if you flashed it on stock rom. For me it's quite stable to use for normal usage. use the latest version
What does it do ?
Are you using it now sir? im not sure if ill use it i dont know how it works.
What do you mean? Im using sd partition and link2sd. so it causes error if i use them ?
BTW bro off topic . when im using link 2sd. and im moving installed apps, and when i install new apps. i check the automatic link? whats the meaning of that linking. thanks

Rom Reboot constantly

Hello All,
I know it topic has been discussed many time, but please clarify me something more on this.
I have a HTC One V Cdma device, i flashed a custom rom recently and i experienced continuous reboot.
So, i searched the forum and found that i have to downgrade the radio and then use the kernel provided by the developers.
I found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018518.
In this link i am finding the Football's Primo Shipped ROM Collection links unavailable.
From where else i can get this file.?
Also, what will happen when i downgrade the radio ? Will it cause any adverse effects ? ..
Also let me know how to install this RUU
Ok. So the RUU you are looking for if you have CDMA is this one.
http://www.htcruu.com/securekey.php..._Sprint_WWE_VM_1.08.652.11-1.08.652.6.zip.md5
You also want Stock Recovery and Stock Boot.img. before restoring to the stock RUU I believe, unless your doing it your own way.
The site is htcruu.com and all thanks to JMZ.

Thanks for the reply bro. I am seeing 2 type of files .zip and .exe file. Which file i should use ?
In many threads i am seeing that we should flash the radio 521_2. So now which file i should choose for the same.?
Also the .zip file is of very small size only 17MB and the other file is 350 MB why there is a huge difference between the sizes.
please assist. All i wanted is to run a Stable JB without boot loop.
The RUU is the bigger file. Just make sure you use the right one.
The Zip is the OTA update that will cause the bootloop on Custom Roms.
So....why do we even have a q&a section if people can just post here and get answers without repercussions?

I experience the same boot loop or freezeup with custom rom. And what worked didn't have wifi and came with other bugs. My old HTC wing had easier rooting to be honest. I eventually gave up with this modding this phone so I might sell this phone out of frustration.

OK the issues you had are from not installing the correct boot.IMG OR having a radio version that made it impossible to flash custom firmware to your HOV. This seriously belongs in Q&A thread.
EDIT: Lloi shut his cm thread down to a dumba$$ question being posted earlier. Please folks read before just posting I made mistakes at first too but people please......

Seriously people take curious up on the team viewer offer so that you can watch him and learn how to do this stuff. Maybe we should make a YouTube video with all the steps.
And yes, wrong section. Op in the future please take note that questions belong in q&a, it helps us stay organized.

glad to hear that's worked for you. CM9 is the most stable for our device. you can try cm10 or cm10.1 if you want to test newer version. it's also run well, but the main problem is our ram. it's to small to handle. so if you want to get performance, stability and battery friendly i suggest you keep CM9.
you should backup first, lol :laugh: nandroid backup for your rom, in case you have to back to stock rom to claim the guarantee. but yeah, you can flash stock rom anyways. there is on sammobile.com
i usually using gobackup to backup sms, contacts, call log, etc. and my contacts always sync to my google account. (i know most people think go app is crap, yeah it is, but this one is working well for simple backup ).
i suggest after installing new rom you install app manually from play store. because different android version usually had different apk build.

flash proper kernel (no, I won't provide any links, you have to find it by yourself by using "search" tool... aokp is CM9 [ICS] or CM10 [JB]) and then flash aokp ROM

The best way to learn something is to read ROM's first posts
First posts of many roms don't give much information actually... You'll probably have to read many ''first posts'' to get a proper understanding. People on here are annoying about telling new people how to get started because they in all likelihood learned by themselves though searching and reading. Flashing a new rom is easy but there is a learning curve and you will need troubleshooting skills, so the more you read and know the better!

We are all learning by making mistakes You think why I know more than e.g. OP of this thread? Because I'm too impatient to wait until somebody will answer my questions! I was doing things by myself, bricking phones, restoring them back and gaining knowlegde! So not more experienced users are "bad" because they won't tell everything, NEW USERS ARE TO LAZY TO SEARCH, MAKING MISTAKES AND LEARN!!!

So, yes, read. Search and search and read again! Or, if you're in real trouble, send PM (you know what that is, right?)...

Oh, don't just pick a rom like pants or shirt, go through all of them, read and read all OPs until you're sure which one to put on your hov. And before you do that for the first time, learn how to do that again and again...

To make it short: every rom needs a kernel that it's likely not stock kernel. In every OP of rom it's written which kernel you have to use...
