As I already made 13 releases for Xperia P so the core itself is pretty much completed. My focus for this ROM will be the best ROM enhancement over stock ROM with new features from other models, best possible sound quality and optimal optimizations that keeps this phone last for a day. You could say this is the best Sony experiences for Xperia Z/Tablet Z with this ROM.
This ROM package works on both global's stock ROM, DoCoMo's stock ROM and CM ROM. For DoCoMo ROM, most of DoCoMo's added stuff removed and replaced phone features with global ones. You'll get pretty much like global ROM but with DoCoMo's SystemUI and Lockscreen.

1.0
-Initial release
Requirements: (Click on link below to get them)
1. Root - You probably don't really need this since this ROM itself also include stable and proper root package but most locked bootloader phones require root access to install recovery.
2. CWM/TWRP Recovery support - This is the real requirements. If you can access Recovery to flash this ROM, the rest should be working fine like root/busybox. Sadly you'll need either root or get custom kernel with recovery so you can forget root and be done with.
3. Unlocked bootloader (optional) - This isn't really needed at all but recommended for people who want more powerful kernel. You can also just flash custom kernel to get recovery and flash this ROM after re-stocking too.
Instructions
1. Make your way to access CWM/TWRP recovery.
2. Flash Extreme Fidelity ROM.
3. Clear dalvik cache (not cache).
4. Reboot and enjoy.
Screenshots:
None. This is stock ROM-like experiences so you won't see much of visual changes. You can see some of them from threads I included their work.
Downloads:
Xperia Z: Fidelity Z 6.0
Notes: It seems init.d script for locked bootloader and current DooMKernel won't run scripts as root so some of important codes aren't working like switching to wheatley governor and setting minimum/maximum frequency to lowest possible during screen-off. I suggest using Script Manager to set those scripts running as su+boot manually for optimal performance with longest possible battery life.

What I meant to ask is actually whether making full CWM package or patch CWM package requiring FTF flashing.

Nice to see some new development, and nice to see a diffrent approach. Its getting boring with same firmware base for all roms.

As you would require to flash stock DoCoMo ROM for its kernel and others excluding baseband, I think I'll settle it with patch package to save trouble for downloading/uploading.
Updates. I'll be releasing full package instead as from the following reasons.
1. Root Toolkit no longer works with latest DoCoMo ROM build 343
2. Flashing DoCoMo ROM from Global ROM without wiping data causes a lot of problems and needs very tricking instructions to solve it.
3. I managed to come up with solution that doesn't require whole DoCoMo stock ROM for getting its kernel.
I'm waiting for PureXAudio updates at the moment so release will be in next few days.
Can you highlight the changes included with this new update?
It's still in development. Changes are here and there bouncing around. Now I changed plans again to patch package as it's kinda risky preventing data corruption from global base to DoCoMo ROM. I tested global 434 ROM with white balance and it seems my saved calibration keeps on after reboot so that's OK for me.
ROM is fnished. Too bad I already unlocked my bootloader and found something to be fixed after unlocking it. So if there's anybody using locked bootloader ones and want to give a try, please PM me.
ROM is released now, Flash it in recovery and get the best of Z!
Wow...

CAN I GET - W8 WALKMAN Player for my default rom?
Nice looking ROM, I love the screens
Some people prefer CM7 and the bleeding edge of technology it offers (oh well, maybe it's just me), but I know for sure there are lots of people out there who prefers to stick close to Official GB Firmwares from Samsung.
So what app you use for theme / launcher ? Looks like tencent to me.

Many People has said tat JIT-JUST IN TIME COMPILER is faster and Improves performance..
But as for SGM I didnt get any major difference by enabling JIT and my phone performaned very well even after disabling it..
I felt INT:FAST Worked Well On SGM so used it on my ROM and Disabled JIT..
If you want enable it using a2sd !
And about XLOUD On cyanogen I havent tried yet !
If you feel like then try it by yourself friend !
Introduction
For the first release, I was going to cook a ROM which include all mods I think the best for all people. But people's favorite are different, someone like this, someone like that, someone dislike at all... so I decided to improve the ROM to be much customizable as possible. Beside that, smoothness and stability of the ROM are still the first goal which I strive for now and in future.
I hope it will satisfy all Arc users and I'm looking for your feedback to improve it further
Features
- Based on ICS 4.1.B.1.13 ROM
- Extreme fast, smooth, and stable
- Suit for both gaming and multitask
- Switch mod easily with the installer
- Add support for HDMI
- Remove bloat-ware
- Tweaked for increasing performance
- AROMA installer with much customizable
- Change Mode in the installer help you delete mod and revert back to official version. No need to clean it yourself.
- Choice for camera (no mod, cybershot v6.7.2 or cybershot v7.1.2)
- Choice for sound enhancement (no mod or ACID Audio Engine v4, v5, v7)
- Choice for on-screen buttons size (22, 29, 35 dip or none)
- Choice for style of notification bar (slide, 2 version of tab or official)
- Choice for boot animation
- Choice for themes (Xperia Z or original Arc theme)
- Choice between many popular launchers
- Choise between SuperSU or Superuser
- And choice for many extra stuffs
Changelog:
v1.4:
- AROMA installer REMEMBER setup configuration
- LED fix (optional)
- Fix FC when edit image in Sony Album
- Fix Network Mode toggle not available in QuickPanel Setting of Slide Style
- All google apps is optional to install
- All Sony apps is optional to install (clock, calculator, album...)
- Sound mod only install WALKMAN (no Album or Video apps)
- Add new slide style notification bar v2
- Update apps to latest version
v1.3:
- Choices between SuperSU and Superuser
- Add Xperia S apps (optional) (thanks sohrab1985)
- Add new tab notification bar with more toggles (optional) (thanks EAGLEBOOY)
- Add AC!D v4 (optional)
- Add AC!D v5 (optional)
- Add Xperia V Media apps (optional)
- Add Social Engine (optional)
- Add Rescan Media app (optional)
- Delete outdated galery app from new installation
NOTICE: the installer in v1.3 considerably increase in size due to I add a lot more of customization. After installation, you still get a light, fast, smooth ROM as always
v1.2:
- All mods are uninstallable by using AROMA installer. You can use v1.2 to uninstall mod in previous version of TrueSmooth
- Add "Official Notification Bar" in the installer in case you dislike mod at all ^^
- Add cybershot v7.1.2 as an option in the installer (thanks jader)
- Fix 2G/3G toggle in Tab Notification Bar (thanks is0l4ted)
- Choice for camera mod in the installer
- Choice for sound enhancement mod in the installer
- Clean up the installer for more choice but less size
v1.1:
- Change to Cyber-shot mod v6.7.2 to make camera working
v1.0:
- Initial release
Performance:
After installing this ROM with all extra stuffs, depends on the decision of mods in the installer, we'll have at least 175mb of free RAM, and nearly 300mb of free internal storage (screenshot shows nearly 200Mb free RAM when I just use Xperia V Engine). We can run Temple Run 2 smoothly at 806Mhz. Let's try and see how smooth it is compared to JB ROMs, you won't regret ^^
Recommendation:
- Kernel: lupus v9. There's a newer version - lupus v10 but I haven't tried yet, because I'm just satisfied with current setup on my phone. I heard that lupus v10 even give you more free RAM
- Governor/Scheduler: ondemandx/sio
- Extra apps: Link2SD (config Auto-link) and Advanced Task Killer (config Auto Kill level is Crazy and frequency is When screen off). These apps are just essential when you want to install a lot of apps and games
- As my experience, using Xperia V Engine sound mod seem to boost overall system performance. Try and see if you feel like me
- Install ONLY apps you need to use frequently or essential to use because a lot of apps runs their service which slow down your phone.
- Disable startup of apps by any start up manager (I'm using ES Task Manager). You must figure out by yourself which app need to start up to run normally (email, alarm...) or sure to disable such as games (there's no reason to start up games at boot)
Installation Mode Behavior
New Mode: it swipe data and install entire .13 system core and your selected mods.
Change Mode: it clean up old mod and change to new selected one. It's useful when you want to test mod or just like to use bare bone ROM.
Installation instruction:
- Copy ROM setup file to SD card
- Enter CWM and choose the setup file
- Follow instruction in AROMA installer, customize the ROM as you like and click Install. NOTICE: in Extra section, unchecked item means you don't like it to install with this ROM, so it will be removed if it's already existed (in case you re-install the ROM)
Warning
- Delivery report is enabled by default in messaging app, so if it costs money in your country, please uncheck it in option of messaging app
- Make nandroid backup of your current ROM in CWM just in case you like to revert back.

Special version is the same as v1.4, but includes wifi modules (so you don't need to flash it after installing ROM) of following kernel:
- Lupus v9, v10
- Vengeance v1.31, v1.32
- KTG 1.52
- ArcKnight 4.1
If you use other kernel, just download normal version of v1.4
While you're downloading, please rate topic or leave some comment here
Happy flashing everyone!
Let's give it a try . I'll give a feedback.

Looks brilliant with 175 nhi free ram ...I love gaming
Press thanks if i helped !!
Using the truly Ultimate HD with xperia Z looks on Xperia Arc!!
Installed and using Vengence Kerne 1.32
Everything working ok but problem found ..... I had lost ROOT
Sorted that out using doomlords xperia root script and all ok. Runs smooth and quick with some nice themes included.
One comment - most roms have delivery reports disabled in the messaging app. Only a small thing but it costs me £0.09 every time and I had got out of the habit of checking. Just a small pointer, no biggie.
Everything works as it should otherwise.
Nice one
Camera not available

Why didn't I test camera before releasing, just test game performance
I found that latest cyber-shot mod cannot integrate to any ROM, I'll use cyber-shot 6.7.2 instead. Please flash cyber-shot 6.7.2 for quick fix. I've just re-integrated it and camera is working now. I'll upload new version immediately

Nice to see developers haven't abandoned this phone. That's the one reason I've still stuck to it. As long as Android's latest iterations run on the Arc and run smoothly, and as long as there are good ROMs coming through, I see no reason to waste money on getting a "latest" phone. Thank you for the effort and the upload.

I'm using a .13 based ROM and Cybershot 7.1.2 is working. I've tried to flash it yesterday but no way. Btw, has the modified ROM been uploaded? It's very smooth and I want to test it.
Thanks for your work
AW: [ROM][ICS][4.1.B.1.13][Arc/ArcS] TrueSmoothV1 - Feeling the true smooth and stabi
I don't know why you mean, Cybershot can't be added to ROM, but I just would like to inform you that it works
Choice for style of notification bar (slide or tab)
Could you add an option "none"? It seems there are some issues in both V6 and V7 tabbed, and no WIFI tether in slide version.

UBLSF in Brazil have best modem reception, and battery life is AWESOME!
I said XXLT4 was better than XXLT6
At last you did move the thread. About the battery life, its quite good but even with speed mod games lag so I changed to another custom kernel. Sure hope the original developer updates the ROM with more s4 mods.
so...nobody using this rom??.... I found this to be better on battery...i've been on xlt4 240dpi, superbean, sweetrom.
there's some translation missing..ie 4-way boot menu...

Is it okay to do a review for this rom? I wouls like to because this rom is AWESOME. Thanks:fingers-crossed:

Jonas has a point. UBLSF in Brazil may be good for modem & battery is due to the network infrastructure there. Not all networks are built similarly so a version in one country maybe be good but not in another.
U'll just have to go through trial and error and see which best works in your own native network. Also it depends on which network in your country your on. You may a few and there again, one may work well but not on the other.
V10 coming...
Changelog:
- Modified Volume button (Press to change the music)
- Home Button Modified (lock screen press the home button to turn on the flashlight)

Color banding in videos
Hi guys , do you see in your ICS ROMS color banding in videos playback? Not in system , only in videos? It's just question , because if u have that , i know how fixed it...tell me.
As I already made 13 releases for Xperia P so the core itself is pretty much completed. My focus for this ROM will be the best ROM enhancement over stock ROM with new features from other models, best possible sound quality and optimal optimizations that keeps this phone last for a day. You could say this is the best Sony experiences for Xperia Z/Tablet Z with this ROM.
This ROM package works on both global's stock ROM, DoCoMo's stock ROM and CM ROM. For DoCoMo ROM, most of DoCoMo's added stuff removed and replaced phone features with global ones. You'll get pretty much like global ROM but with DoCoMo's SystemUI and Lockscreen.

1.0
-Initial release
Requirements: (Click on link below to get them)
1. Root - You probably don't really need this since this ROM itself also include stable and proper root package but most locked bootloader phones require root access to install recovery.
2. CWM/TWRP Recovery support - This is the real requirements. If you can access Recovery to flash this ROM, the rest should be working fine like root/busybox. Sadly you'll need either root or get custom kernel with recovery so you can forget root and be done with.
3. Unlocked bootloader (optional) - This isn't really needed at all but recommended for people who want more powerful kernel. You can also just flash custom kernel to get recovery and flash this ROM after re-stocking too.
Instructions
1. Make your way to access CWM/TWRP recovery.
2. Flash Extreme Fidelity ROM.
3. Clear dalvik cache (not cache).
4. Reboot and enjoy.
Screenshots:
None. This is stock ROM-like experiences so you won't see much of visual changes. You can see some of them from threads I included their work.
Downloads:
Xperia Z: Fidelity Z 6.0
Notes: It seems init.d script for locked bootloader and current DooMKernel won't run scripts as root so some of important codes aren't working like switching to wheatley governor and setting minimum/maximum frequency to lowest possible during screen-off. I suggest using Script Manager to set those scripts running as su+boot manually for optimal performance with longest possible battery life.

I don't have locked bootloader anymore so I can't test but some ppl reported in v5 back then it worked after removing init.d scripts. Guess added xperia stuff in v6 broke it or something. It works for unlocked bootloader ROMs.

Great... But no word about it in your OP! Please, include this important information in title. It's easier than restore our tablets after installing your MOD!
Works well with unlocked bl on SGP321. It is not stock rom. Its cm based rom with xperia stuff preinstalled. Also it shows stock cm kernel. 3g works, I don't have Lte card so couldn't check it but probably also works. I don't know what means "for stock rom only" because after full wipe it's only a cm based xperia stuff. Even bootanimation is from cm... Maby I did something wrong, my previous rom was cm. Great build I think, but had no time to check everything. Sorry for my bad English.
