Re: [05/03/13][Official][4.2.2] P.A.C v20.1.0 Pure + Themed

Wiped everything, it's not the first time I'm installing custom rom. Third party apps are crashing and camera/gallery with hdr mod. Gps is also weird i.e not working, but 2g to 3g switching works automatically, no need to enter airplane mode or stuff like that.

Got problems using mobile data on this version that I didn't have with 20.0.0 . Airplane mode doesn't fix it, only a reboot will, and it soon stops working again. Going back to 20.0.0 I think.

Will do it, but it's not a big problem, however there is no fix for Gps, am I right?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
My intentions wasn't insulting or to be rude.

I'm just saying if you don't like it - don't use it.

We are all friends here and it's not problem if you are using niaboc, trinitys or raymans ROM.

You have to finde something that suits you but you have to realize - every ROM have it's own problems and features.

Just use what you think it's best ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] guidoido004:
me by exaple, i love to take pics, but i rather have a good battery life(which im not having in any JB official based ROM) than a freaking awesome camera quality in a ROM that hangs no more than 6 hours of battery with soft/low usage(just whatsapp messages and no more than 10 pictures...)

EDIT:forgot to ask, not asking for an ETA or anything like it, but, how are things with the new kernel, people are telling me to wait for the new release of the ROM with the 3.4 kernel, but honestly, after having my battery hanging for more than 10 hours, im getting crazy with what i just mentioned... no pressure. lol

so, the question is, can i update now or should i wait a few more days?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tania247260:
Yes I have read that 3.4 kernel coming today or tomorrow
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Rayman said today but we'll see will he managed to release it today.

But that's sources and we still need to compile ROM, test ROM and do many things before.

So flash latest release and we'll release new as soon as possible :)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] babyboy3265:
So as u say battery life in the offcial JB is as horrible as ICS? :/ that means well have to wait for that famous 3.4 kernel :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
No, that's not true.

It's better then in ICS.

But battery in PAC with OpenSEMC2 kernel is excellent, just the other day I posted one screenshot - 2days on one charge.

But average is 20-28h and that's very good for custom ROM with so many functions.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tania247260:
Yes funky0308 you are right
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
But what's important is that new PAC is in testing phase and soon we will have new release.

I will repeat - testing phase, so please, no ETA.

We still have to wait Rayman for kernel sources and once again - big thanks goes to that great guy ;)

But soon boyz and girlz, soon ;)

Well done with the 23.0 version, works like butter! :D

I just read that Rayman is compiling he's RC1 of OpenSEMC which includes the famous 3.4 kernel! I'm kinda excited for the new features provided! Even though I don't use them xD

Anyway, if I can provide any help, contact me! :)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
From new official JB it won't.

Some apps will be ported like Home launcher but generally won't.

Hey vertigo, I was wondering what happened to that 8MP/1080p camera app you mentioned some time ago. I searched the thread and found you guys discussing about it, but didn't find the actual apk to install or zip to flash. Isn't it available as a standalone package (apk or cwm-zip)? I really don't care about habing full picture resolution, full hd video is more important to me, so I'd be very glad if you could point me a way to install this specific camera app, if possible, without the need to revert to an older PAC version. Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
I mentioned it, not Vertigo but it's not good.

Now it's available in apps and themes and we decided not to use it in next release.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
Its not good?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Well.....no.

It's 1080p (video) but it's laggy.

But that's the XS issue and that's how our stupid device works.

Max is 8mpx and that's not so bad, after all that's image size and it's not that bad.

Sphere works fine and generally it's not that bad - but it isn't nothing special or new so we won't include that app in next release.

But try and if you like it - use it ;)

Try to search battery info on this thread.

I'm in the car and can't write all that again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K3n H1mur4:
Thanks for that, funky. It's 4.3 camera, right? Tried downloading and installing (both via clicking the apk or moving it to /system/app and naming it Gallery2.apk or Gallery3d.apk) with no success. Any hints?

Nevermind this, figured it out. Permission issue, set to rw-r--r-- and it was fine.

In a completely different matter, my phone gets completely sluggish after some time, if it's charging. CPU usage (measured via SeePU and Usage Timelines Free) goes to 100% and stays there, the phone renders unusable (so I have to soft-reset it) but nothing shows up on Usage Timelines (that indicates per-app CPU usage) as CPU-leaking. It's just a "ghost" usage. I don't have a single clue on this, so I though it would be better to ask. This doesn't seem to happen with the phone unplugged, so I think it's kinda curious.

Sorry if any of the questions had already been answered, but I'm kinda new to Xperia S (got mine yesterday, actually - I know, way too late to the party, but it was the best my money could afford right now), came previously from a Motorola Defy and a HTC Magic, so I'm not new to the community, but only to this device. And, as you guys might know, a new device means whole new issues and ways to solve them.

when all apps are closed and u leave ur phone on charge the phone never deep sleeps, the frequency stays locked at 384 MHZ, but when u have used ur phone heavily on the bases of CPU usage and u plug it to charge it does take some time to settle at 384MHZ and it should eventually, what i believe in your case happened is there might have been an background app using CPU or u didnt observe for long whether it eventually locks down.......in any case a reboot should settle the phone

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls I'm happy to announce first PAC powered by [MENTION=3463426]RaymanFX[/MENTION] 3.4 kernel.

After numerous sleepless night we present you new and refreshed PAC.

First of all THANK YOU RAYMAN

Without your help this couldn't happend.

You built this kernel and offer help many times - so tnx again.

Of course big tnx goes to Vertigo, as well, this wasn't easy.

PAC for XS is very stubborn ROM and he did it :P

And for the last but not the least - tnx to my buddy Jmjguru - for all testing and struggling to stay wake during the day.

And of course tnx to whole testing crew.

As you all probably know, Rayman still need few things to fix but SHINGERS decided that you all need to see this and he authorised this release.

- the big boss - :P

Enjoy and remember FEW THINGS AREN'T WORKING (camera and video playback - only portrait works)

IT'S BETA RELEASE, usually only available for testers crew.

So here it is :

FIRST XS PAC ON 3.4 kernel (beta version)

And don't be close-fisted, say tnx and support us ;)

His effort is tireless and the tantrums are bad but he is dedicated to keep this Rom alive. Remember hit Raymanfx up with some big appreciation and Funky your leader. This Rom is a team effort and has always been presented as payback to this great XS community! Thanks for using and remember the bugs. If can fix then why not share!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Mate when something is in alpha or beta stage there's no changelogs and infos.

We only could confirm that it's here and it's booting.

Now all community is one big testing team, feel free to test and report bugs.

Kernel 3.4 is boot.img that is developed / ported / buildet by Rayman and( if I'm not wrong) Letama and presents new era for our devices.

Like Sony published 3.4 stock that's hiw we now got kernel 3.4 for CM based ROM's and AOSP ROM's.

It's faster, it provides better stability it'll bring new camera drivers and lot more.

Just try and see all those smooth animations and hiw smooth and fast PAC is now.

And that's only beginning.

It still need lot of work, guys, show a little respect and read before posting.

If we said it's ROM in beta stage, that means it would never be released in normal circumstances.

But our main idea was to give you taste of what's coming.

I could take a few pict and post a teaser and write - wait for it.

We know it's not that good but it's the best until now and it'll be 10 times better when it's all done.

O.K but just a little tip.

When you are testing ROM, report real bugs - it's not enough to post it's slower then....or it's faster.

Find real bug - for example :

Camera app isn't there, I tried to install CameraMX from market but I got FC.

Tnx all for helping here ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K3n H1mur4:
Wiping cache and dalvik-cache seemed to solve the issue. Did 2 partial charges and got no CPU leak. I'll let it stand on charge for the night and check the results, but so far, so good.

I'm on P.A.C. 22.40. Tried UltimateX but WiFi wasn't working even though I installed the WiFi fix. P.A.C. with a few theming did the trick: I'm on 4.2.2 and got the XPeria look and feel. The performance is also considerably better than my old Defy with naked (no themes nor deep system changes except manually enabling OSB on build.prop) CM10.1, so it's fine for me. Also, ROM stability is fine, using it as a daily driver with no major issues for now.

For the camera, tested the 4.3 leaked app and it FC'ed when I tried to record 1080p, then FC'ed everytime I started the camera. Wiping app data and cache didn't solve, so I'll stick with the default camera app until we get a fix (hopefully 3.4 kernel with new camera drivers will solve this once it gets refined). I can live with 720p-only recording for some time.

If you thought I'm saying that only course I'm OP here...well you are wrong.

I was on one stock based ROM (it's not important which one) and I was testing it to better understand differences.

Guys, this release is absolutely amazing.

Tnx Vertigo, tnx Ray man - you made my day ;)

It's so fluid, smooth and fast.

This is how our device should work.

Sony maybe released JB, but it's awful , 1080p video rec is terrible and without Niaboc, Doomlord and Trinity it wouldn't worth a sh*t.

This is software XS deserves.

One again, thank you all for help, support and for all your contributions.

Anyone else having issues with Instagram? When I try to record a video within the app, it crashes and, after that, any attempt to open the camera from Instagram (even for static images) results in the app crashing. Wiping app data solved the static camera issue, but I still can't take videos. I think it could be the same issue that makes 1080p recording unavailable on the current stable kernel, because Instagram connects directly to the camera hardware (instead of prompting to open the camera app, like, i.e., whatsapp does when one tries to take a picture directly from it), thus not going through the modifications made by the devs to disable 1080p recording. I can provide a logcat if anyone's interested, but, since it looks like camera has been fixed on 3.4 kernel, I don't think it'll be necessary.

On a side note: what are the issues on 3.4 kernel besides camera? Any other thing not working? General instability? Or nothing to big to bother now? If it's only the camera, I think we're good to go, if it has been fixed, because of the wonderful performance reports (I personally am OK with my phone's speed so far, but obviously it would be nice to have it even faster)

fc ui system on 23.0 with kernel 3.4

hi

i just tested the latest beta release an got force close on ui system (no notification bar).

there is a problem on blacklignt too, it's very dark.

I made a nandroid restore of my data, maybe it's because of it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jmjguru:
probably is the backup that messed things up.. Most times it works just fine to do a restore but I've noticed too that every now and then strange bugs occur after a restore..

So I hardly ever do a restore of my data these days and the system seems to benefit from that..

Unless you have done any changes in rom control that requiers a system ui restart? Coz that can F*ck things up too..

I would suggest that you wipe and flash again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
You must wipe all - factory reset.

That's why you get that error.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Make a clean install, set only basic things (email accounts and all other accounts, install just basic apps only that one you know are good)

Don't backup games or some untruthful apps.

Backup that and when you need to restore you'll have good and stabile base.

Don't restore ROM after you have flashed some mods (framework change) or keyboard mods which change or replace framework.jar or android policy.

If you follow this rules, you'll be able to restore your data always, without any problems.

Hi there,

I've just testing this new incredible PAC with 3.4 kernel and it work almost flawlessly. After flashing it (of course full wipe, clean install, without backing up anything) unexpected reboots from time to time and problems with accessing automatic brightness settings are gone. Everything works noticeably faster, battery last for longer. Just great! And it's still beta :)

What about problems?

Apart from not working camera I've noticed all souds are much quieter. I don't know if it's my subjective opinion because I didn't test it by any measure device but for me it's much quieter. I'll set my speaker to the max but I hardly can hear people I was talking to. So for me all sounds so notifications, rings and sounds of caller are of very low level. Does anyone have a similar problem?

And maybe max brightness is a bit to low as well.

Any other problems I let you know.

Despite this, I'm impressed.

Great work guys!
