This is my first post to this awesome forum. I own a Xperia Arc S since Christmas. While I like this phone a lot, I still have some issues. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device for trying different custom roms.
While I am an experienced linux user, I have yet only little experience in android.
I tried the obvious roms, cm 7, miui, doom, even the cm9 alpha. While I like the ui much, I got this very annoying touchscreen issue, where you can't use the lower section (around 3-5 mm) when the device is rotated by 270 degree. Is there a fix for this or a miui kernel that resolves this issue? What exactly is causing the problem, kernel or system files?
With all roms I tested, I got a WLAN bug, when downloading large files (e.g. Gameloft content) the connection breaks and it takes a moment until the WLAN connection is etablished again. My WLAN works flawlessy with my other devices. I tried different baseband versions but this does not seem to make any difference. What is causing this and how can I solve it?
I am mainly looking for a stable ROM, is there anything you can recommend? Is there a comparison of the custom ROMs?
Hi,
I really like to upgrade my N7100 to KitKat, but with every KK-ROM I've tried I wether had camera- and/or bluetooth-issues.
Sometime the camera takes some photos and then freezes, sometime I can make one call via bluetooth and the dialer freezes while making the second call.
Only a reboot solves these problems (or my "Restart Camera"-app) - but with this problems I really don't want to use KK-ROMs.
Does anybody has a recommendation for a KK-ROM, maybe in combination with a custom kernel?
I would really appreciate any help!
Best regards

Thanks for your reply - but as the title says I'm looking for KitKat-ROMs.
But all ROMs you mentioned are JellyBean (4.3) ROMs!
Is there any recommendation for a KK-ROM without camera/bluetooth-issues?
Otherwise I will have to wait for official Samsung 4.4.2-ROM like announced on the official Samsung-website:

AOSNP works for me
I installed the AOSNP rom from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2638434
Then gapps from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857
I used these files from the above link:
GApps Core 4.4.2
~20 MB-
Playstore-
Syncing apks and libs, etc.-
Google Camera 4.4.2
Automatically removes AOSP Camera/Gallery and adds Google Camera/Gallery
AOSP Calendar Sync 4.4.2
Adds syncing ability for AOSP Calendar (not in Core or Standard packages)
My wife has been using it for 6 days wit no camera or Bluetooth issues.
She uses Bluetooth Jaber about 5-6 hours a day.
Only complaint is battery drain, but maybe when the developer is back up he will be able to resolve it.
It's very fast and stable so far, if it wasn't she would definitely let me know. :laugh:
Since I don't think KitKat has been officially released for Note 2 yet... I suspect there is non without issues. Best to wait until official version comes out for developers to play with (which should hopefully be within next 2 months).
Hello,
I've got recently this phone and I kind of like it. The only reason was the qwerty keyboard.
The biggest problem I have with this phone is the sound. Every messenger app (skype, yahoo, viber etc) has the same problem. The receiving sound is slow and ununderstandable.
The current ROM installed CM 10.1 Kernel 3.1.10 android 4.2.2
I am a newbie in installing ROMs, but if I could I'd go straight to android 2.3.5
CM 10.1 is very laggy, with lots of problems (missing calls, GPS connectivity, maps, performance etc).
Anyone had this problem and solved it?
Thank you
P.s. I searched in the forum about this issue, but didn't have much luck.
Whos CM 10.1 are you using? Also CM 10.1 is no longer being updated,I suggest you use CM 10.2 by Bubor or a 4.3+ ROM
If you need more help please post back
The sound issue is with voice recording, any action with VoIP, dictaphone, voice dialing etc. will make sound playback distorted for some time. This issue exist in any ROM after stock ICS, so if this is very important for you, you'd better stay with stock. Here's the link: Stock UCLJ3.
If you wish a newer ROM, such as CM 10.1.3 or CM 11, there is workaround with VoIP sound called Tinyalsa stack, but it broke GSM call receiving sound. You can look here.
Also, I should say that CM 10.1.3 and CM 11 I linked have almost no issues beside this VoIP. GPS working great, no missing calls, no reboots, great performance and no battery draining. But I recommend to try and find what will suit you best.

Hello,
Yes I use skype calling a lot, I need this feature working. So you are suggesting me to install the android 4 stock version from samsung, but from what I red, there is an issue with the qwerty keyboard light. If this is true, it confirms my first idea to go with android 2.3.5
Thank you for your replies!
Samsung fixed the keyboard issue and a lot of other stuff in their 2nd release of stock ice. If you see those types of complaints, they are from the first revision.
I'm running stock and the only two issues I have is general UI laggieness (which is expected since its stock with bloat and not really optimized, also running on an older phone with no project butter). Along with messaging notifications failing to make any noise at random. I'll get a new text message and the screen will light up, but doesn't viberate or make a sound at random. Incoming calls still ring just fine though.
Other than those two issues (lag really isn't an issue for me), stock works just fine for me.

You need ics rom or stock if you want all fuction working fine (voip and calls)... sorry for my english

Yes, I recommend to install stock 4.0.4, it's the best way I know to have working GSM and Skype calling at the same time without needing to switch alsas stacks. j.asir here using new CM with tinyalsa fix and terminal shortcut - that's a bit inconvenient, but at this time there's no better way to go if you wish to have newest android and skype calls.
I newer tried 2.3.5 ROM on this phone, so I can't comment anything about it. If you try vanilla 2.3.5, please write about the results!

Hi @Makshow, have you considered using a 2.3.5 ROM? I have considered the possibility of doing so as I've heard that our device running GB has no issues at all... or so I've heard, but I honestly haven't had the time to test it. I was considering the possibility of using Inception (Back in black), but the download links are not available. If my Glide would work smooth and with no issues with GB I'd be glad to use it. If you decide to go for a GB ROM could you please provide me with some feedback? I would really appreciate it if you do so. I am not so cool with using ICS as stock is very battery & RAM consuming. And I was not so convinced using Litekernel or literom. Literom is really cool, but it has some issues and glitches that I found very disturbing. If you do go for GB please provide me with some feedback :highfive: Regards
I got this phone with new ROM already installed, so I won't try flashing 2.3.5 GB Android, I have no experience with this at all. Sorry. And I doubt that there weren't any issue with GB, one can search older posts in these forums and see that there were many bugs and bloat and troubles.
As for working download link for INC3PTION 2.3.5 ROM, there is one from Androide3 here. You can try it.

Hello @Androide3, thank you for your response. How long have you been using it? Have you had any issues? Is your battery life good? How about RAM usage?
BTW is there a specific method to install this ROM? I ask since I have never used GB. My phone came with ICS already
Thanks for details given in this thread.
Where can I find the stock android 4.0.4 second version?
An other quick question (I know this is an off topic question), is the samsunng galaxy s i9000 battery the same with the i927 batter?
Thank you

This custom rom Sh*t is very annoying. I can't get rid of this crappy cyanogenmod rom
Wasted almost a day reading pointless posts all over the internet and still nothing clear on how to go back to official samsung stock android.
I'm going to get this phone to the service!
We have a fix now

Listen may i know it got really annoying with the sound.. but we have a fix now...
its a third party app which you can use.. its very easy to use and one time setup only
just get any kitkat rom..
its stable and only stops working if the app gets killed but otherwise i have tested it extesively
try it out and i would suggest omnirom to you if u prefer simplicity.

Finally I did it!
Finally I did it!
Ok, it was very easy and I feel kind of stupid :laugh: but as for the first time I'm still proud.
The major problem I couldn't install the stock rom was because of twrp. I had a old version, 2.4 I believe.
I managed to over install cwm v 6.whatever which was compatible with i927 and re-tried to install the stock rom and IT WORKED!
The stock rom is great! the phone is much much much quicker than with cm10.2. All features work! skype calls, voice recording, map, camera rotation, etc. Will see if I will lose any missed call.
The problem, I'm facing now is the sd card and internal memory which were inverted during cm10.2, but I am sorting things out.
I'm a bit disappointed that I lost all the installed apps with cm10.2. and I can not re-install them again. I have only the option to update it which won't work. Any idea?
On Monday I'll be receiving a Tab 3 8.0" and I want to be prepared for when it gets here. Based on your experience, what would be the most trouble free/most stable custom ROM I can use?
I have used samsung stock and cm11. I definitely can recommend cm11. Haven't faced any issues, stable as rock and much faster than stock one. And I really like that vanilla android.
I decided to try this one, at least for now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471642
If you use tab as phone, i'm afraid you've to stick to stock rom or FastDream. Week ago i tried almost all ROMs from dev thread - they all have problem with mic - my friend, who i called for testing, said, that it's almost impossible to hear what i say. Only on FastDream and stock ROM he could hear me OK, without any noise/distortion or smth.
I'm using Facebook calls evrey now and then with GalaTab ROM and the call quality is great.
I also tried Cyanogenmod. I really liked it, but the camera was very very crapy, photo and video.

hello everyone, i bought this Gpad V500 for my 3yr old toddler mainly for educational purposes watching his favorite youtube kiddie videos and some educational app.
i got lucky i picked it up in a shop here in Saudi Arabia for just 110USD. it runs on KitKat as stock. i would like to ask any stable rom recommendations since i am likely to upgrade this as kitkat is outdated. i need a rom that is stable and able to root with no issues. i am confused with this rom developed by our some devs which one is best for me. i dont need all those fancy addon features like busybox etc since as ive stated only a toddler will use this. i only need the root access since i need to install MoaAB (aD-Blocking app) to eliminate the ads in some apps that kids might accidentally open it. and hopefully a rom with great battery life.
KitKat or Lollipop based no problem as long as it is stable, good battery life, no memory leaks, wifi BT and all those basic V500 functions.
Thanks
Rey

will try this one tonight and observe it for a couple of days thanks..
any other suggestion?
I would suggest to try Candy5 (especially in tandem with redkernel running a conservative gov.). For me it works best and I haven't had any crashes for several months now. As for the features, as said, only the IR blaster doesn't work.
Hi, I have a V500 and I am tired of lags. I read that CyanogenMod is a good rom and would like to put it on, but I am a complete newbie
Is there a detailed step by step guide for the whole process ?
