Dear friends as we promised - THEMED PAC v23 is released and ready for download.

First version is with walkman and Awesome beats but for 10-15 min we'll release THEMED version with MIUI player and DSP so you can choose and use version which you think it's louder (that's the only difference.

We still have some minor issue with video driver so you could watch a movies but you won't see sliders (for video fast forwarding or volume)

It's still fully functional and vol will change when you press vol up/down only you can't see slider.

We promise we will fix it as soon as possible but we decided not to wait and release it tonight.

*** and of course***

If you appreciate our work - hit tnx here or in OP and when you have some time, go to XDA (via PC) and rate our threat with five stars.

Thank you all and see ya guys ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Guys for now HDMI works if you:

Open album/select video/open in movies/hit play and then connect HDMI cable.

When we fix video drivers all should be fine and like it should be.

For now this was the only way to have HDMI and many of you need it so we released it with half HDMI function :)

So the themed version have the new video drivers?..

EDIT: i can't click "Install" in themed ROM, trying to recover my apps with Titanium.. The camera don't have 1080p recording..

EDIT2: I don't have walkman app, "Music app" instead, Kernel says: Vertigo Kernel 3.0 not RaymanFX 3.4..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jmjguru:
No, not yet..

Didn't see your edit..

If install don't work you've got halo running. Turn that off and it will work.

It does have 1080p

Can't upload screenshot :mad:

Man you do a lot of editing Lol

You have downloaded wrong ROM..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xjox:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MadCobbler:
You know the PacStats app that starts up when you first flash the rom.... well this is what it does, it lets us know how many users are using this rom and here are the stats

So you guys are the 3rd biggest users of PACman

I would like to say a massive thanks to all you guys along with the rest of the team

Will it be fine to flash theme version over pure one without wiping data or should I make a clean install for the themed one?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jmjguru:
It might work so go a head and try by just formating cache, dalvik, system. Flash rom and gapps. But if you run into odd problems you will have to wipe and flash again..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
Downloading right now, Pure edition...

Is it based on RaymanFX RC1 OpenSEMC kernel or? :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
This is textbook example of wrong procedure.

You have walkman in this version

Also kernel 3.4 is in pure and themed:

Camera has 1080p video rec and 12mpx:

Please follow instructions from OP

And we already said : if you can hit install button, disable HALO function, install app then enable HALO again.

That's HALO issue for now and it's present on all devices with HALO.

Tnx ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
In the status bar, when ever something happens (like shown) you get the little halo symbol. How do I stop that? It's annoying
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
I'm sorry but you can't move it from there.

You have to change framework files for that.

Don't know why it's so annoying for you.

If you disable all HALO functions it's only an icon in bar.

Here is web page with some extra info for HALO function if someone want to learn more about it.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anightfire:
[MENTION=4816245]funky0308[/MENTION] , hey mate in beanstalk ROM, Halo can be even disabled from status bar, but what i actually wanna ask is that in that ROM we can change colors of the HALO interface can that come here in PAC soon?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
For now - no.

we add HALO just recently to see how would you guys accept that.

I just spoke with PAC team and most likely we'll release one version (THEMED) with MIUI music and without HALO.

So if you don't like it and it's annoying for you to have that icon in status bat you can use this one :) (yes [MENTION=4681015]Ben36[/MENTION] this one is for you - we should call it PAC 23 Ben's release ;) )
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Can you give me a link for that ROM?

Tnx mate ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:

One of PM's

This is common CM issue.

Sometimes, in some countries mobile data could be strange and block from time to time.

It's funny how in some country (croatia for example) mobile data working without any problems.

I had never lost signal or had that kind of problems.

For now only solution is go to Airplane mode or restart phone.

It's not only PAC problem, it's CM problem.

Thank you for support ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Panaroma:
Let me say something about provider/mobile signal.

Im from germany and from time to time my signal is gone. In most cases when I turn my phone on in the morning and my xs direct connect to WiFi.

Hard reset with power off and volume + till three vibrations worked fine for me whenever this occurred ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
And in the same time we are getting reports from Germany, as well, that signal works great and that they doesn't have any problems. (search thread for that post)

As I said - it's a strange issue/bug
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
I don't know why i find it annoying. Lol. I'm just picky i guess. Ha ha. I can live with it there.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Gallardo994:
It seems like it's affecting users randomly. Cause a lot of users from Russia report constant signal loss, while I and some others guys here have never experienced any sort of this problem.

To all who have been facing the signal loss issue..here's an app I found on play store..

I did test it on slimbean ROM and it did work perfectly.. signal comes back after a minute or so..no need to reboot..I'm using fxp cm10 and it works here too..

Download the lite version and not the trial version.. the link should be in the play store as well

Is there performance improvement with the 3.4 kernel?

Envoyé depuis mon Xperia S en utilisant Tapatalk 4 Beta
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Absolutely...

PAC was always fast and.smooth but you can really feel the difference.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] malcohmx:
The Rom still has quite a few bugs. SystemUI kept Fc'ing. What seemed to fix it was re-enabling the notification buttons and hybrid properties reset. Some apps just crash randomly for no apparent reason.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
I've had no issues on the latest version at all. Only the overlay control problem which we all know about anyway
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
Using pure version with 3.4 kernel.

I like the features but I miss that smoothness from latest OpenSEMC RC1 Chocolate edition.

Combine these two and I think we have a new winner here in Xperia S section :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Panaroma:
Also don't encountered this issues. You did a clean installation like written in OP?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] malcohmx:
I saw previous posts regarding the systemui force closing repeatedly without any available solution. As i said disabling notification buttons might have something to do with it. I installed the Rom as per the instructions only so it has to be a bug.

Edit: If it helps, i keep my system underclocked at 1.2 Ghz usually for better battery life. But even at 1.5 Ghz multitasking was buggy. Waiting for the proposed final release to see if it fixes these issues.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Panaroma:
Maybe PAC could be smoother but don't forget this is a combination of cm, pa and aokp :D and i'm sure vertigo has an eye on it ;)

So you have to decide at the moment for yourself if you would like to have more features or a little bit more smoothness ;)

Cheers :)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
Yeah, I know I need to compromise one of those two... I'll stay on PAC just to see how it will behave in longer use.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Themed version without walkman.

It's with miui music and DSP

This one should be louder

http://d-h.st/gkH

I'll update OP later, I'm out now ;)

Halo is still in.

Halo shoud have option to disable it and after that we shouldn't have ucon in notification bar.

We have that in the last version, why it's not in thus one we still investigating :)

Edit:

OP updated - I just add a link for MIUI themes PAC

Enjoy ;)

Great rom, but 1080p recording is laggy. But I don't care, I use 720p only. But is there a way to enable front microphone? Basic one is really unsensitive :/ And in prev ver. HDR was included and other options like sceneries too, here they arent, why?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Yeap...it's changed but you can (for now) extract gallery2.apk from PAC where camera was that one you liked and copy it to systems/app.

We will try to put old camera back in next release.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] precardo:
Man rom is way too smooth much better than official jellybean just not on battery though. By the way way what is so special about the 3.4 kernel??:confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
It should bring longer battery life... and smoother experience. But, of course, these two things are more affected by drivers so in core there is not some groundbreaking differrences for end users like us. At least I think so, correct me if I'm wrong.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] precardo:
Wow i've just tried out the HALO feature and I'm loving it.... It basically pops out notifications of the applications i've included in it:cool:

Download the latest version of Snap Camera my friend... Now with the new pac it seems to have full functionality and Manual scene selection of all sorts... Give it a try i as a camera enthusiasts found it to work best... Another great app the Camera360 but because of the driver problems it doesnt work that well you can only use it with 12MP since only then you can see the buttons on the surface... It has amazing effects but bcoz of the issue you can only apply them after you take the pic and its saved.. Good luck ;);)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
And system
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ziuta24:
hello. a long time I had a problem with mobile data not working. I decided to find a solution and it worked out, at least for me. The problem is in the software you have installed on your device before installing the PAC. He had a firmware version .55. For a while everything was OK but started to have problems with mobile data. In general, I did not have an Internet connection. For people who have the same problem suggests:

1 Make a complete WIPE the phone (without memory card)

2 Install the software .200 with root and recovery.

3 Restart the phone

4 Install the latest version of the PAC kernel via fastboot (boot.img)

5 Complete WIPE phone.

6 Install PAC

For me the issue is resolved. The second day is working fine.

You do it at your own risk.

Good luck

Regards

Sorry for my English. Its bad ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
As Ben said...when you flashing same version themed over same pure wipe cache, davlik and system.

In this way you'll get new system files and apps but your data won't be wiped.

I think you can set that in hybrid.

One more thing :

As many of you had asked for tethering - yes, after updating to 3.4 kernel we have some issues and for now it doesn't work.

We know for that bug and already are on it.

Soon we will update our sources and release next version.

Thank you all for support and bug report.

Feel free to write your (short) review and/or you critic.

See ya guys ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kubekpop:
All right, what I think about this rom:

-WiFi sometimes doesn't connect to my network

-I can't find any option for mounting as a storage

-Rom is fast and stable

-Circle Dotted with percentage works 100%, no reverts to stock icon etc.

-Rom closes foreground process eg. Browser when needs memory. Is it possible to set it to kill unused tasks, not the active foreground ones?

-As I said before, camera was better in previous version

-Battery drains quite fast, but until it lasts one day, it is okay ;)

-1080p recording is really buggy, slow etc

-Video codec problem or something
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
- not a single wife error

- install OpenSEMC app

- yeap

- yeap

- I never bump into that problem, I'm not saying it's not true, but if your system "overheats" that's the way OS protect it self

- yes it was, I totally agree with this one but due the video driver problems (kernel issue) we were forced to use simple and pure CM camera.

But we promise as soon as we fix video driver problem we'll compile ROM with our well known camera.

- battery is part of device that depends only on user behaviour (if it's healthy, of course) and it could hold 1 hour or 30 hour.

You can't expect that battery holds 15h screen on of 70% brightness screen.

Wait a few days, when "instalation days" past (first few days when you are setting your accounts and apps) it'll be fine.

- 1080p video rec works 200 times better then in stock ROM

- video drivers problem (as I said - we are on it and Rayman is trying to fix kernel - it's kernel related)

Tnx for review ;)

Guys ill try and share a little thing i do to keep the battery up and the phone smooth as much as possible and i never get force closes or anything lile that... It helps me know whats goin on all the time and you are more in control of everything...

TWO things...

1st app called: Cool Tool, its free in the app store... Its a monitoring tool that does not consume any resources or battery...It shows in real time very beautifuly the CPU usage, free ram, temperature and whatever else you set it to... It works perfectly, i sincerely recommend it to every1.

2nd: Go to Developers options turn them on and at the bottom set the background apps to 2 or 3... I use 2 because in my opinion its more than enough... That keeps everything running well and the system never overloads.

Ps these are 2 screenshots for you to see, ENJOY. :)

So if Phil would update his (mine) sources, these things should be fine.

The one from PAC (or whatever you're using currently) breaks Nozomi's GPS because it does not have amss loc api 5000 support.

I will update your sources before I do the next build and will try with the CM sources first for the GPS

On another note I have noticed that they have been updating the nozomi on cm github... But still looks like its not as far advanced as yours so you're doing a fantastic job of keeping ahead of the cm guys... Good work man ;)

From the OpenSEMC thread 30 minutes ago:

"Believe it or not, but i flashed 0.5 kernel over 0.4 version of the rom and:

- No lag (0.5 problem)

Why its that only a certain few have this system ui crashes and not everyone. Flash the ROM following instructions and can't go wrong. Retrace what changes you have made and reverse them as something has made ROM unstable! Change WiFi region in WiFi advanced settings and connect to WiFi again. If doesn't connect it isn't the ROM but your router! Also what channel is your WiFi linked too as if 13 it causes issues.
