Click to expand...

If you installed Arkas 0.4 than it has the short APN list.
Get your APN settings/internet settings from the internet provider.
Sorry for the trouble . :(
In Arkas 0.432 I updated the list so it includes most service providers of India and some other countries

Try DOCOMO care and ask those people to give you apn settings :).

Thanks Karan....Its working....And the ROM is pretty cool so far....Switched to my favourite GO launcher tho....Thank you so much for the ROM...hope it removes the lags in my phone without affecting my battery too much
 
Hey Karan can you recommend some SetCpu settings for optimum performance without having to sacrifice the battery backup(if improving isnt possible by anymeans)
 
There is a mention of T-Mobile US,Verizon and SprintPCS in the apn's but no one ever tested it so I cant say for sure if they actually support it :) .
 
there is no callisto.ops in that link. there is only ddkj4.zip file containing boot,phone,pda and csc..

should i load the boot,phone,csc and pda (arkas)..
 
Yes it is a file in KB
It is available on samfirmware .
I dont trust other SOURCES .
So dont Blame if your phone conks

thank you.. i got the callisto file..

1. i couldn't reboot into the recovery mode using the t+power method..
q+power works and boot into download mode.

2. can i use the factory reset option in the settings to wipe the memory..

3. is titanium backup is enough.

4. after installing the rom should i restore the apps with data or apps with sys data
 
1.)Not particularly necessary if you are using Arkas 0.4 -0.433
If you are attemting 0.5+ then issue reboot recovery command from the terminal

2.)Yes .Thats what is known as data/cache wipe

3.)It is enough

4.)Thats really your choice .
