I think that is a great idea to have one for biz/themed 19.x.x And one for 20.x.x

Will be less confusing for users and easier for us testers to give proper support.

Haha, yeah what up Vertigo?! Can't you plant bugs so we'll have something to do?? :p

Nah really, damn good job on the new one. :thumbup::beer:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] siddharthisback:
i agree with ben

Nice suggestion BEN
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Two threads, well it's one too many :) , but if you all agree ( already) - then o.k. :D

And if we could have one more for questions, one for dev and one for stupid questions ( of course, separately for 19 and 20 ). :D

Just kidding, but I think PAC is PAC, he is growing ( "he" is deliberately written) and I think it's nice to have all in one thread.

Its confusing, but it's nice ;)

Welcome Phil, I have been through your uxp and it was really nice..

Thumbs up to testers and supporters (including me) :p:D:D

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:

Not bad, but it should be better, probably you use brighter screen settings.

We'll see when summer comes, then we will have to use a brighter screen :)

You post pict without bottom part.

So we can't see that.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
Right usual suspects you now have new v20.10 so as usual check everything. In future Phil will do it but I had some free time. I think on thread is enough as v19 will soon be absolete and will be a waste of thread. Keep one thread with OP for new version pure and themed and 2nd post for 19.3. Ben can have 3rd post for fixes and add-ons and FAQ
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Ben could have thread for stand up comedy :)

May I say : Bravo for 20.1

Great job, for now.

Won't write anything else, it's going to be surprise - but great animations.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Good one.

Just one small cosmetic issue, when go to recent color of clock, battery and signal change to stock color ( if you change it first, of course) ;)

But it's working very, very nice.

And nice animation ;)

Kernel animation - niceee

And if I try to change band in radio FM, it reboots.

But it's set to Europe, so it doesn't need to change ( for me ) but just to know that.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] akkiannu:
The new version is 20.1 right? Cause you said 19.3 was kinda bugless! :P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
You are very good developer.

I tried all 4.2.2 and PAC is the best, really!

It's smooth, fast and stabile.

O.K. we have some small problems, but that's only cosmetic issues or minor problems.

I'm very glad you are conscientious ( whole PAC team) and you didn't won't to release ROM until it's tested and confirmed stability.

Tnx for great ROM.

Great ROM!

I flashed 16.2 two days ago, and man am I loving the performance on the ROM :D I've been unable to put my phone down ever since I've flashed it and I managed to use it normally today. It can take about 6 hours of really heavy usage and upto 8 hours of normal usage, so battery really isn't much of an improvement for me.. I'm always on 3G and have autosync and Google Now on all day. Other than turning off sync and Google Now, if there's something I can do to make it last longer, that'd be swell! :D

Thanks to the devs for their awesome efforts! Never going back to stock again! :D

P.S. I do miss Fast Capture, though, any way we can include it? :P

I tryed installing SuperSU from play store but that also asked for [super user access] of which I'm unable to grant since i cannot reach the [Grant/Allow] on the huge super user app. Please is the any way to fix this???

I'm just a guy who help testing the ROM, as the devs don't have the device.

The thing is, I don't know what I happening. I could easily Allow or Deny root acess with it (regarding PA features).

Please try to lower the DPI and try to allow permissions again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lucio25m:
I was having the same issue. I sorted it out by going into the settings of superuser and choose to allow all apps. I think you have three options there. I did this from a fresh install. Somehow I couldn't revert the access back once it was denied.

Try using the PA or AOKP feature for it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
Mate calm down. Despite the size of the font you can press half of the button to allow. The right hand side button allows so even if can't read it you can still select it. This is not my job and the guys here are doing a good job at helping you but you just seem so impatient man. I don't just sit here checking xda dude as I have a life. Install supersu from market then open it and update binaries. You can press button can't see text so its right hand button. If you can't press button open super user app and go to preferences and for root access click allow as its set to prompt first. Once you do that you won't have menu asking to allow or deny.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
To grant access again you need to go to app menu then manage apps then all apps. Look for super user app and open it. Click clear defaults and exit. When you run app again you will then be asked to allow or deny access.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:

I'm sorry, I guess I didn't know what to call it. I was using it, I guess I was playing around with Google Now, I don't remember, but I had to press the power button and Vol Up button to turn it off. I don't know what that process is called. I had to do that because the phone wasn't responding. So I flashed 16.2.1 today and I tried restoring data through advanced restore, but I forgot to clear cache and dalvik cache after that, and I was stuck in a bootloop. Then I had to reflash 16.2.1 and setup my phone again. When Google was restoring my apps (Using my ID, not titanium) it rebooted and did it again when it started up... But apart from that, it was fine today....

Am I doing something wrong? And is there a way for me to restore my data from a nandroid of 16.2.0?

Guys, mine working fine with PAC 16.2.0 with gapps 4.2. but after flash PAC 16.2.1 without wipe, playstore missing. any idea how i can get playstore back? If i flash gapps 4.2 again, the camera will revert to as on 16.2.0.

Appreciate any helps here. thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
Lol when you upgrade you need to flash the gapps again. Upgrading keeps apps on data partition but will remove those on system partition as they are not part of base ROM. You could search play apk and copy to /system/app then reboot
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
This is pure Google aosp and Sony features won't be compatible. The framework won't support it. Some people try to port some features but Facebook inside is coded into the Sony framework so be almost impossible.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
Are you formatting system on fresh install? Phone should not hang on restore from market unless corrupted files from previous flash remain. That's why you format system as to cleans that partition ready for one off new rom

Question: What if I wanna update the new firmware for Xperia S (.55).. Am I correct if I assume that I'll have to flash it with flashtools, flash a cwm kernel and then Install this ROM again? Or should I even bother doing this? ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Why you would do it? As you're with this, just ignore the rest...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jmjguru:
As I wasn't sure if the firmware was ROM independent. Thought it updated HW and stuff like that..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
HW is HW. you don't update it with a software upgrade :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jmjguru:
True that, I wrote it a bit uncorrectly.. What I meant was that it would update the software for the hardware inside the phone.. And that maybe that didn't have anything to do with what ROM you're using.. But hey I'm a happy Noob when it comes to Android so what do I know. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
I know what you meant, was just kidding :P

Anyway, no. All of that is in the kernel. As soon as you install PAC (in the case) it replaces the Sony kernel.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jmjguru:
Thanks for clarifying it for me.. And saving me time from doing something completely useless then.. lol
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Apology11:
The question wasn´t that noobish!

Sometimes the update from Sony can change the bootloader, and this comes only with official update using sesus not even flashtool can bring you this if the firmware isn´t repacked.

But such an update comes very rare and I´m quite sure that the new firmware didn´t brought a update to the bootloader.

Yep, I did a fresh install. Also, it seemed stable till now, but just five minutes ago, I was texting and I had the pop up quick message feature enabled with the dark theme for messaging. I had the feature enabled so it would unlock automatically and the quick reply pop up would come up automatically. So when the screen was off I got a text and I accidentally pressed the power/unlock button out of habit. The screen turned off immediately. When I pressed the lock button again, the LED bar lit up, but the screen remained off. I tried waking the screen letting it sit like that for 5 minutes, but to no avail. I had to hold the power button and the volume up and turn it off and turn it on again...

Some of us who use our phone regularly through out a day can juice out battery for about 5 to 9 hours tops.
