Guess what, testers confirmed everything is o.k.

Dev.host is down and for now PAC is on MEGA.

So here we go....

PAC 22.2 themed[/N]

https://mega.co.nz/#!QAdEXawS!dtSXTmxIdTFtOI6dqb8B9CKnxacLJK22JpeIo63ylrs

Tomorrow link will be in OP and changelogs will be updated.

I could wait and make that by the "rules" but I think it's more important that you get themed now, like we promised.

So enjoy and please, follow instructions (post - look above this).

AND GUYS, PLEASE!

You saw, these days, how hard it was to get this ROM out.

We have whole crew, ten people, who worked day and night to bring new PAC.

Developers, testers and bunch of guys who worked for you.

Ask testers, it's not an easy job, ask developers - it's stressful job.

Only thing we ask is HIT TNX

It's free ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jmjguru:
First choose where you want the ribbons.

Then you press the small icon with a horse on it

and then choose what app you want to have.

Press the + to add more icons and just repeat the steps..

When you're done. Don't forget to press save. (The diskette)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] S.D.Richards:
Somewhat unrelated, but might be nice:

I've seen a few posts on various devices, which can mimic BB10 behaviour in terms of touching/swiping the display when it's off to turn it back on again(only if the display timeout hit, not when it's been locked manually). From what I understand, this is mostly a kernel-thing, so I'd like to know if anybody knows if this is possible at all with the XS, if [MENTION=3463426]RaymanFX[/MENTION]'s kernel allows for that and how to enable it.

Apart from that, new pure running smooth so far, can't tell anything about battery life, yet, will try more once openpdroid patches are working.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anightfire:
i have set my slider shortcuts in settings and saved them too.....but they dont appear on the slider lock.....restarted phone too but it doesnt appear....i go back to the settings and the shortcuts are still assigned but are not on the lockscreen......anyone experienced it ?:confused::confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Mate, you talking about two subjects which are the greatest "enemies" to each other.

First - touch display to wake phone, even you aren't talking about full feature - it drains battery.

The phone, in that case must check all the time did you swipe and that will kill your battery.

Check Sony official ROM, it doesn't matter wich one, you can't find toolbars or features like that you just mentioned.

Battery saving - that's why
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
When you stuck somewhere, one thing you can always do is wipe cache and dalvik.

That will, of course, wipe cache but it will refresh all you apps as well.

Always try that first...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
I would like to say thank you guys, all.

Yesterday, I ask to say tnx for ROM and you did it.

Don't think I want some special care, I just want you to say tnx to Vertigi, to Shingers, Jmjguru and our great testers.

We have fantastic crew and all those "tnx" are for them.

Tnx again...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] S.D.Richards:
Not quite right, search the forums. For one, this only kicks in when display timeout is reached, which for me only happens if I read something not fast enough. Second, this is low level kernel stuff, doesn't take (much) more than listening for other buttons events. My BB Z10 only has a 1.800mah battery and still lasts the day easily. Please test it for yourself first before making that kind of asumptions.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
What ROM have you got on that device?

Custom or stock?

I don't have to test that to know some basic things.

I'm sure that's cool feature, but if you have to swipe then what's the point?!

My screen won't go off if I'm reading and swiping screen it'll lock if I don't touch it.

And when I see it dims screen a little, I touch screen and that's it.

So, will I touch the screen now or for a ten seconds - I don't care, but I care if this feature takes even 2% of my battery.

Custom ROM's on XS (4.2.2) are still trying to reduce battery drainage and that wouldn't help.

I'm not sure how that loop look a like but you have to have some kind of loop check in code and that, I'm sure, would drain more battery power.

I'm not saying that's not good or it's not possible, I'm just saying that we have tones of added functions in custom ROM's and it's time to perfect them first.

That's my opinion and if time shows we could have that in our ROM and guys from this thread expresses a desire to have that - I'm sure we will.

But my opinion : for me unnecessary, fancy feature which will suck life from my battery.

When I'm reading my screen won't lock.

Feature by feature, 1% by 1% and soon you have 35 features that needs 35% of battery, ROM, cpu or gpu power.

And then I will answer whole day why PAC can't stay 15 hours on one charge.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
But if you have idea how to implement that into PAC ROM or kernel - feel free to release it.

I'm o.k with it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jmjguru:
No they don't work. Not the navring feature either unfortunately. But its reported to the devs so it should be fixed in future releases.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
OP updated

GUYS...

I just updated OP and changelogs.

Links for pure and themed v22.2.0 updated.

Soon we'll release link (themed) to dev.host - it's o.k again.

Hit tnx in OP :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] S.D.Richards:
I'm not having it on my Android, though it runs just fine on my SO's Gnex. Have a look around the forums for Ezekeel's stuff, he also has apps in the playstore for testing/enabling that stuff.

It's basically "just" a kernel patch, creating stuff in /sys/class/... - if you set the files there to some values, than the feature is enabled and of course drains some battery, if you don't then it doesn't. I'm not saying this feature should be turned on by default, just that it would be nice to have it supported in the kernel for the people who would want it - after all, there are quite a few other things in it already which can drain battery, overclocking/governors/schedulers just to name a few.

Also, it has a timeout feature, so you can configure that f.e. only for the first 30s the screen times out you can activate it again by touching it, after that it goes to "normal lock"-mode.

I had a dream: this awesome Rom, with stock camera app from Sony. Ribbons, PIE buttons...:angel: I want it all, yeah.

By the way, how awesome and stable is the last version. :good:

Thanks, thanks, thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cities516:
What a good dream you have:laugh:

If there are Halo then it is perfect!!!!:good:

(Of course this is not an ETA, we are dreaming;)

You do a GREAT job on P.A.C.!!!! Thanks a lot!!!)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
One man also had a dream, but his dream was more realistic :)

I share your dream, man, but it's not possible.

You can't drive diesel car on gas and you can't have Sony framework on Cyanogen.

Photos are good but video camera is problematic...

I hope someone, someday will find a way to use Sony camera in custom ROM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xshunin:
I flashed it like you recommended. Now my statusbar is gone and won't reappear even after reboot. How can I make reappear again?

Edit: My wallpaper stays black as well. It seems it's something with the Xperia Launcher.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] buhonaranja:
Yeah, I got it. Perfect comparasion, dude. :good:

But I repeat: awesome Rom. No complaints, that's for sure. :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Have you tried to restored something?

That shouldn't happend...

No one reported that...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xshunin:
I restored Data from my nandroid backup from the previous version. Just as you posted a few posts earlier.

Edit: WTF I just unlocked my screen and everything's back to normal... I'll post again if something like that happens again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AwesomeARC:
Hey guys....love the rom...just a question.....when am on stock i can use the headphone jack to connect to my car radio jack and the music plays.....but when i use this rom....and do the same...it only plays on phone speaker....tried to change cable put nothing..any ideas.....

p.s....my car radio bluetooth is bad..thus cant use bluetooth..

Thanks a bunch
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Nandroid backup and restore works o.k.

Wipe cache and dalvik and it will be o.k.

Let the ROM settle, after few charging cycles you'll have great battery, smooth and fast ROM.

Every time I flash new ROM (if it's same Android version) I do data restore and everything works great.

But make sure you don't have bad data or some crapy app that will cause problems.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bkk99213:
Edit it in AOKP, not CM setting. It work.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] JasonValentine:

However this is maybe a known issue but when im trying to take a photo using 9MP setting, the preview is distorded.

The snap itself is ok tho.

updated to the latest pure rom guys... since yestarday ive had the signal drop and not come back 2 or 3 times within half a day or so from a clean install but nothing since... will report for any problems!

i would say though can you lazy a** (but awesome) devs got off your a*se and apply to work for sony please :| i mean am i the only one thats irritated at the fact you pick a sony device for its unique design and to be a little different from the crowd... but in turn get the worst support for updates in the known universe!! (that fact COULD be true)

also when installing apps from the market to a fresh rom, how do you batch install? i mean im selecting all my apps and press the 'tick' in the top left corner and it does nothing :|…please tell me that isnt just me? if it is im buying an iphone, of course that was a joke.

thanks for your wonderful work guys youre all awesome!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
kernel is in the ROM, it will work best with this ROM so, don't change it.

If you still want to change it, flash OpenSEMC 3 or 2 but if something goes wrong - don't blame PAC.

This kernel is optimized and tuned for this ROM and it the best choice.

And for battery life, isn't early for knowing battery stats?!

Calibrate battery after flashing , then let a few battery charging cycles past.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Updates, news and other stuff

Dear friends :

As you can see PAC is back and it's working great.

We improved many things, add new features and fixed old issues.

PAC is smooth, fast and stabile.

Ribbon (toolbar) is working great and now it's easier to access your apps and shortcuts.

We add new battery styles and many other cosmetic features.

Under the hood : we change compiling method (linaro tool chain) , it's improved and tweaked so we recommend : STAY ON STOCK KERNEL.

That's all for now, flash, enjoy and stay close - PAC will soon have new surprises.

...and yes, dev.host is o.k. again, so all uploads link have been refreshed

See ya

Say tnx, that's only we ask ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Kingcool88:
With the last 2 releases i have not had a single signaldrop!

And before that i had once in a while!

This rom just keep getting better and better! Tnx alot for the hard work!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
That's becouse, here, people care.

Really, we have guys who always finding new stuff and improvements, developers, whole team of testers.

PAC team is huge (in general for all devices) but XS PAC team is big too.

We have approximately 13-15 members.

And we want stop now, PAC will go on and bring more cool stuff in the future.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Envious_Data:
this is probably a dumb question

I asume since this is android 4.2.2 Nova kernel wont work , because i like my GPU overclock , is it posible that you could make a Kernel that has a mild overclock,

i would try to make my own for PAC but my computer HD is broken in a weird way

Any updates on gapps package since Google i/o??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
No, Nova kernel is for 4.1.2

I'm having random reboots even though I followed the instructions clearly. after it boots up it rebooted suddenly.

also, how can i change the lockscreen settings? like disabling the other pages, slim bean have that function

EDIT:

i tried installing it again, no reboots anymore. I think the reboots is something with the processor settings, i tried sakuractive and sio then poof, reboot

How long was your shower? :P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Haha....

;)

As always, standup comedian, Ben, is here.

But you are right, mate, I spend one hour in shower, so it's hard to measure how long that last for you. . ;)

O.K. Check your app, weather widget or something similar, maybe some app won't let phone to go in deep sleep.

Calibrate battery and let the few charging cycles past.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PrometheusV18:
I experience something weird, when I use the front camera, it suddenly goes into burst mode although it is turned off.

And when I took videos, the screen looks warped/distorted but it is fine when i played the video.

can somebody else confirm if i'm the only one who is experiencing this ?

using the latest pure and stock camera app btw.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
If you have older PAC (21 for example) extract gallery2.apk from systen/app and copy that file on you device in to same folder system/app.

Set permissions (0644) restart and wipe cache and dalvik.

Then try...

Nobody report that but try this and it should be fine.

What's the difference between pure and themed? :)

Won't even bother to answer.

It's your shame...

300 downloads and you are the only one with that ...don't even know how to call that.?!

So if you need help, ask question like you should ask.

You wrote pure provocation.

You have procedure (how to flash) and many various versions of this ROM.

So state - this ROM is unstable is primitive and provocative.

in case you have to do again: as funky said some pages before (and probably OP/post 4), make nandroid backup, wipe, flash PAC, advanced restore=>restore data, reload, flash gapps - for me this worked perfect!

As i couldn't log in last days, i got to say it now and once again: greaaaaat work guys!! its supersmooth and beautiful (in black, of cause) :)

and with the hint to reload data from nandroidbackup, its a thing of 5 minutes to update to new version (thx funky for this!).

Thanks again (now gotto push thx so many times :) )

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
My bad, sorry...

Try to flash without fastboot.

But wipe all - that's important.

It will work. TRY. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Hehe...I'm glad if I helped you ;)

It would be extremely hard to test ROM every few days without data restore :)

Hey guys, I'm coming from eXistenZ rom, a stock 4.1.2 leak based rom. Do I need to extract the boot image from the zip and fastboot that? Or can I just download the image from Ben 36's post? A quick reply will be highly appreciated, 'cause I just downloaded the image from Ben's post and flashed everything... I want to know if I have to extract the boot image from the zip again....

Edit: Nevermind, I just rebooted and now I have the PAC kernel, I believe...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
O.K, you managed to do that.

It's recommended to flash boot.img via fastboot.

Best way is to extract boot.img (kernel) from ROM you planing to flash.

Then you can flash ROM.

That's highly recommended way if you coming from other versions of Android.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
But I thought all the 4.2.2 roms flash their own kernel automatically.. I never had to fastboot the kernel... Anyways, since it's worked out, it doesn't matter :P My phone seems to be charging awfully slow, though... I don't know. I'll try reconnecting it and see if it gets better. Battery widget reborn estimates fully charged in 4 hours 6 minutes from 52%.. Just flashed it, so I'm gonna let the ROM settle down. Probably reboot a couple of times and see...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Yeap, that's the way with batteries.

And for kernel, yes, in all 4.2.2 ROM's (in zip file) you have boot.img - kernel.

That's not a reason why fastboot img file.

The reason is : when you flash boot.img via fastboot it totally removes and delete all previous kernel files.

And via recovery some files could stay (especially on stock ROM's)

In 99.9% everything will work if you just flash ROM and wipe all before flashing.

So you could always try to flash from recovery and if you bump into bootloop, just fastboot kernel and flash again.

I was just wondering if I could just toggle pie from the quick settings on and off, because I use it on the right, and it keeps interfering when I use my phone... So I just wanted to toggle it off in those situations... I think it used to work like that(If I toggled off pie in the quick settings and the navbar was set to zero, I could just use the hardware buttons) in the older builds.
