[TUTORIAL][STEP-BY-STEP][TEXT EDITION]How to install a custom ROM on Xperia arc/S - Xperia Arc General

Hello, guys! A lot of people asked me how to flash custom ROMs on Xperia arc/S since I am the developer of Jelly Sandwich. Always I offered them a self-written guide (guide, tutorial - call it as you want). They were very glad of it. So... I thought, it would be great if I share the tutorial, so other people will be able to use them without asking me in private message. The tutorial I'm sharing with you is in .txt format. The ROM example in the guide is Arconium ICS, but if you don't want to flash that, just swap Arconium with other ROM you would like to use.

I have 3 question i followed your guide and its great, however i want to change kernel because arc knight is draining too much battery.
1)How to change a kernel should i just flash it with fastboot (follow step 3 to 11) or there is a different procedure?
2)What is the best kernel for Arconium 4.0 to get good battery life without overclock?
I think its this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680793, but correct me if im wrong....
3) Should i wipe something before or after i flash kernel and will i lose my data and apps?

1. Fastboot is the only possibility
2. XArc by Sirkay
3. Make backup with Titanium from Store, wipe everything and restore after installation.

[Rom] TheMyth - Myth is back < Coming soon >

Hello guys, it's a long time since I removed myth here, right? Are you still waiting for TheMyth?
Now, it will be back with many new features and I hope that you will enjoy with it.
U want to know when will it be released, huh?
It's coming but not too long
So plz wait, ok?
Devilsking​
Nice work Leo,first post
YAAAYY! TheMyth is back!
Well as a beta tester, i'd like to say this ROM is super fast and the theme is just excellent.
Using it for 4-5 days and no bugs
I think this is as fast as IC Sunday
Note to those who are using CM7.2, install CWM4.0.0.9 first and then flash this, because for one tester CWM5 malfunctioned and his phone screwed up
CWM which version,4 or 5?5 right?

Differences is extra apps all apps in lite are free
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA Premium App
Thanks buddy
wonna to know about full version
Going to your blog for that
So far I am liking what you've done. I've had this up and running for roughly seven hours so far and had no issues at all. RAM use seems fine although I haven't really pushed it to far yet. Its fast and smooth and seems reasonable on battery consumption. The theme is done well too. Had no problems with flashing from CWM 4.x.x First boot took roughly five min. Boots in less than a minute now. So far, so good mate. Thanks for your efforts.
Glad you've gotten rid of the warez this time. Devs work hard on their apps for us.

Thank you for this awesome rom.

It would be nice to having SEMC styled.
Guys im already done port Xperia S styled to framework , SystemUI and settings too.
Including Xperia S transition..
trying to port original lockscreen too. im comparing some smali code in framework.jar and services.jar and android.policy.jar
if i get pass through the 10 post successfully i asked permission with ori dev and moderator to allow post in dev section.....
THUMBS UP!!

will wait for this!!!
Thanks for the replies as it is right now (hope to get some more) just one thing. All the framework files are ported from the Xperia Mini Pro and have some special "SEMC" files that to work need XML coding but luckily i think that is not needed. Im going to try my pre Beta version now and if it looks like SEMC a tiny bit im happy. As long as i dont need to go and edit the .xml files lol

and it should also be the new sony xperia s look
I would love to see that. Hope it will released soon....

I have no permissions yet since i dont know what will happen to this project im only 13 so it takes some time please bare with me. I'll post my progress in the main post

I guess it's not available..I would not suggest you to flash this version..later on if i find it for n7105
you can flash Phoenix rom v17, dn3 etc ..my personal suggestion would be flash phoenix n7105..don't forget to make full backup from philz recovery while flashing
In the latest version 4.0.1 are too many bugs and will be updated soon, readable in the arab forum.

Or use TWRP
As I use my phone in business there are too many for me.
I know Blacktox V4 from the very first moment, have tested both versions quite a while and I will follow the development further on.
The Devs face the same problems as DN3-team.
Yes ..yes @Tombias..you can use twrp latest one...
@Androidwizzard yes devs are facing problem because it's not easy modding and other stuff..it takes a lot of time plus they have other work also ..
Peace
Any website link or forum for this ROM?
The bugs are same as DN3 4.1 beta? Or this rom have other bug? Thanks for this.
