I tried your kernel which comes with the rom and it works.. but I want to use Dark kernel cause more useable ram.. but when I flash dark kernel it stucks it a boot loop..can you tell me a proper way in which I will get both Dark kernel and Pacman rom?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
Ask the kernel dev to add the pac framework (framework-pac) to his bootclasspath
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lukkki:
At this moment XperiaLegacy CM11 rom is better.

I tried this rom with Dark kernel. It freezes on PAC logo I know that its not compatible.

Great ROM, but i am really dissapointed with the last two updates, camcorder doesn´t work good or doesn´t work properly
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
Switch to SD recording. Camera will unfortunately always be an issue with post ICS ROMs for us
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] imorfin:
Camcorder doesn´t work on any option, before two last updates worked great
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
mmm, so what you're saying is by enabling HD recording, the whole camcorder performance has suffered?

Flash the older kernel on the latest build and see if that helps in the mean time.

I will maybe revert the HD stuff for the next build and we see...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] maxsam4:
I flashed the included kernel, wiped the data and flashed the ROM.

My phone in now stuck at boot and the screen says "PAC ROMS loading"

It has been 15 minutes now!!

I previously was at stock ics
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
You need to format when coming from ICS: /system then /data then /cache

Wiping is not enough

Then you can flash the ROM

If you still have problems, flash a stock ftf image and try again

Worked after formatting :)

Ion Kernel Testers

Hi Guys,

Mike from LegacyXperia is in the process of switching to the ion kernel for our devices. We have need of brave hearts to test the kernel graphics as some devices have a graphic glitch (see attached). The thing is that most devices has multiple panel variants, therefore we need as many testers as possible.

The testing process is straight forward:

flash the kernel

start the phone

if your screen comes on normally, you are good, if you get a funny looking graphics, you have the glitch

pull the battery

flash the old kernel

start the phone as normal

pull a dmesg

Please post the result and the dmesg here (PAC pastebin site: http://paste.pac-rom.com/ )

To pull a dmesg:

connect the phone to a PC with working adb

in terminal: adb shell dmesg

copy terminal output to pacpaste

Link to kernels: http://pacman.basketbuild.com/index.php?dir=main/devs/langes/iontest/

Thanks,
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] GaMeR77:
Will test it after a while... only 11% charge left... will test it after 50%..

---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ----------

@Langes do i need to try this on the latest build? Or previous?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
Any build, you flash the ion kernel and start the phone, if you get the glitch or not, you need to flash the "normal" kernel again. The ion kernel will not work, we are only testing graphics atm.

Thanks :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] GaMeR77:
Will my phone boot normally after i flash the old kernel?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
Mine does, to be safe always make a backup first. If it doesn't boot normally, or you get FCs re-flash the ROM, if you still have issues, restore the backup.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] GaMeR77:
Ok trying this now...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dilesh Perera:
if its stuck in bootlogo then u need to flash stock ftf
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] GaMeR77:
Negative results.. :( I didn't even get that graphics glich.. it booted with xperia lagacy logo( the kernel image) and was stuck there for a min and after a while it rebooted and the same thing repeated.. flashed the old kernel, the phone works perfectly again.. but had a couple of FCs but now they r gone... sorry i wasn't a much of a help... :(

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

I didn't get that funny image... so i have no glitch?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
Yes, looks like you have no glitch. Could you pull a dmesg from the phone while it is working normal?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] GaMeR77:
U mean while i'm using the old kernel? Or do i need to flash again?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
20140405 = official, latest

20140406 = test build with ion kernel, will have many bugs, if it boots at all (not advised to flash unless you have a backup to go back to)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] GaMeR77:
Can't send the dmesg because cmd says adb not recognised in my notebook
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
If you have terminal app on the phone, reboot and then open terminal

dmesg > /storage/sdcard0/dmesg.txt

This will push dmesg to a file on your SD card :)

Do it straight after reboot as it might get too long and we will not see the panel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] GaMeR77:
I need to type " dmesg > /storage/sdcard0/dmesg.txt" on my android terminal?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:

I Think Its In Display Settings.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
Settings->Display & lights->Rotation

Small bug still where the "on" setting sticks, but the tick goes away if you exit the rotation settings screen, so when you open that setting screen the lockscreen rotation may show off while it is actually on. If you open that setting screen, best is to switch it on and off before leaving it the way you want it.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Men_in_black007:
Bro,

Every Device Has Different Panels.

So Mike Asked Everyone To Test Ion Kernel On Your Device. If Your Device Is Booting Take Dmesg And Post It On Mike Thread With Your Panel.And If Not Booting(i.e.Graphics Glitch) Then Also Post It On Mike Thread.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] GaMeR77:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
Great job with the testing you guys! :good:

We've only seen two panel versions for the Ray and they both work now since mike has pushed some changes. No need for Ray users to test the kernel anymore.

PAC rom is stable . since we moving with new ION kernel some changes/ improvements will be added to the new builds. some improvements needed and devs are fixing / updating them atm. so u might use pre ION release or if u can wait till 2moro maybe Langes will release new build with further updated version . :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
Once the new kernel is as polished as the old one was, you will have a much smoother user experience, the rom will be built with less hacks and more proper implementations of the latest KitKat features (e.g. webview in the browser), you will have better memory allocation/management ...

Remember one thing: Android is not Windows ... free RAM is wasted RAM in Android :cowboy:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] seamo123:
Needs more work, unfortunately.

A step in the right direction - themes seem to be working properly now which is great.

However..........

1. ROM is very laggy.. to the point of crashing. The 'Settings' menu lagged so badly a minute ago (mid-button press!) that it crashed!

2. Is it too much to ask to have a battery icon AND a percentage in the status bar?

3. Please fix the 'Kill app back button' function. Maybe make the 'kill' part kick in after a second and a half? The way it stands it is killing every app when the 'back' button is even briefly pressed! VERY annoying if you're in the main settings menu.

4. Why is the default font size for notifications designed to test one's eyesight? (See pic attached). Can we adjust this? Otherwise fix it, please.

5. Why can't we sync the browser with google?

6. It is not possible to restore stock browser bookmarks from my previous ROM with Titanium backup. Why?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
* Download the ROM and gapps (any gapps for 4.4.2 will do, although the full PA gapps are too big for our low storage devices)

* Flash the included kernel (boot.img) (the one inside the ROM zip file - Sony Xperia devices cannot flash kernels from a zip) - use Fastboot or FlashTool

* Reboot to recovery (kernel comes with CWM, recovery cannot be flashed separate)

* Wipe data/factory reset

* Flash the ROM and then gapps

* Reboot your phone

* Enjoy

For updates afterwards, skip the factory reset part.
