[addict mode]Maybe I'm the only one but since I learned about the nightlies I just keep using them[/addict mode]

But I also want to use MEOW-kernel and I prefer to use TWRP over CWM so I created my own solution based on the zip created by Bor_NL . I just took the boot.img and wifi-files from the 0905 custom build and replaced the ones in the original zip. I'm using it for some days now and it's working fine for me.

So since I love the work done by everybody from PAC and in this thread I thought it would be nice to share this with you:

Download

All credits for creating the zip still go to the original creator [MENTION=4188207]Bor_NL[/MENTION]!
[Xperia Z Android Development] chienline:
Haha.. surely he can flash 0818 right away. In my mind, if he doesn't keep the rom, then it would be better to download 10MB kernel rather than 222MB of rom size :D

I always keep 1 or 2 previous builds in backup and one latest zip file in storage, just a matter of habit :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] [-Amrish-]:
Normally I also backup but this time I just forgot :D

Same here I also have two files on my internal as on the sdcard....just for ICE.

Tried now airplane mode, waited half minute and rebooted and after that switched it off. It seems like it worked.

Android operating-system has a lower percentage. But now RILJ has a high percentage of usage :cyclops:

But for now the battery drain stabilized. I'll post a feedback later on.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Juzman:
I always use nigtlies and just did the same thing (grab boot.img and wifi files from latest custom build, added to original zip and flash it after nightlies. :)

Although the things I would love to see in the MEOW kernel (ported from DOOM) would be:

added intelli_plug (v1.6) kernel level multi-core controller (replacement for mpdecision) with ECO-Mode! (eco-mode disables two cores and makes the device like a dual-core device! hence giving better battery life when performance is not required!)

Prima wlan modules revision 3.2.6.007a (unless it's already latest)

GPU Scaling Governor: simple
[Xperia Z Android Development] jdjta:
I think we already have a newer update of the prima wlan modules revision. The drivers you mention were in custom 0816.

In custom 0905 the drivers are updated to 3.2.6.101 but can't find any information about these prima wlan drivers at all. Only thing google gives me is this thread :silly:.
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
wow. liking the new effects on the 0910 nightlies!

however, at first i find it slow, so i did the following:

Settings -> Developer Options -> Window/Transition/Animator scale = changed all to .5x :D

and the phone's super fast with those animations!
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Yea, it's awesome huh! It's the new Nexus 7 animations! I love it!

About the .5x, that's exactly what I did and will recommend with the new custom build.

I'm building / testing it now and will probably release a new build today!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Supersaiyan.IV:
<resolved>
[Xperia Z Android Development] sacredsoul:
Awesome! Can't wait! :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] Delacor:
+1 Can you Do this...?
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Yes, i'm working on adding new features to my kernel. Currently I'm testing stuff. Will send out a preview version to donators for testing soon.
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
That sounds great Jeroen!

One small question Jeroen. I am having problems connecting to one special router (fritzbox)

All others (also fritzboxes) are working fine.

Could this be a problem, because I doesn`t have the latest baseband flashed?
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
To be honest, it sounds more like a problem of the fritzbox.. Can you connect to it using other devices?

Else, try to make a logcat while connection to it, maybe it gives some usefull information.
[Xperia Z Android Development] vincyi269:
uhm, sorry for such a noob question.. but can I flash it via CWM too? or is just TWRP :eek:
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
yea but this one also affects the flip tiles speed. it became fast as well while flipping, but i guess its fine.

about the new nightlies that you're about to come out, it can always be dirty flashed right?

as i've dirty flashed to 0910 over 0905 this afternoon.
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
No, my wife`s Xperia P and also others connect fine.

The wired thing is. I can connect to the fritzbox the first time I enter the pin,

but the next time I come to this house it doesn`t connect anymore .

Sometimes it works after a reboot again but most time not. I have to delete the router in settings and enter the pin again,

then it works again, till the next time.

Strange thing, but I will try to get a logcat the next time I am there.

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 PM ----------

It doesn`t mind if you use TWRP or CWM.

They both do the job! ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] jdjta:
Like BeDesireS said: It doesn't matter what recovery you use to flash it, but you'll end up with TWRP since this is used in boot.img for custom 0905 ;).
[Xperia Z Android Development] eLbor11:
Couldnt find ir settings, so asking here.

Every time I plus in headset the volume of music, games etc. Is at lowest, not silent just at the lowest is there a way to make him remember what volume I had last time i used headset?
[Xperia Z Android Development] jdjta:
Found a problem in nightly 0911: Can't acces Settings -> PAC-man -> General UI, Settings FC :(. Restored backup of 0910 nightly and it's fine now.
[Xperia Z Android Development] gregland:
You're right.

The same for me.

And toggle in option when activated must be disable then enable to edit them.
[Xperia Z Android Development] [-Amrish-]:
Jeroen,

I don't know if you're aware about it, but I'm getting random reboots with the 0905 build (3x today). And sometimes I need to enter my pin again.

Lets hope the newest build will give me more joy and less reboots ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Will look into this.

it's a bug known by us. Will be fixed in next nightly / custom build.

This will be fixed in the next releaee

I'm not getting any reboots for a long time. Please when it happens try to get last_kmesg (Google for it how to get it) and report to me, so I can look into the cause of it.

Fixing some small problems like the 2 mentioned above stopped me from releasing the new custom build today, as I want custom builds to have good quality... New build will be released tomorrow. It will be a nice one :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] venky716:
I get reboots when I've rebooted the phone and use Nav ring shortcut. I have to go to settings and select the shortcut again and then save to avoid reboot. ( have 5 nav ring shortcuts 2 tasker based for 2g/3g , Greenify hibernate, google now and screen off)

Also the nav bar custom icons don't stick for back and recent.

Per app pie custom color don't work, the pie color just turns to cyan.

Camera opens up to black screen have to press home then clear the app from recent and launch again to get camera working. (happens with all cam app tries focal, default, moto x can)

When status bar auto hide is selected the status bar keeps poping up.

Also System ui crashes and restarts a lot, like when i get a lot of notifications on Whatsapp, halo goes crazy and UIcrashes.

I know PAC is a ROM with cherry picked features and sometimes they could interfere and cause these bugs, I really appreciate what you've done for XZ :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
I never had any reboots since I am using PAC.

And that's now nearly 2 month!
[Xperia Z Android Development] McDope:
I also have the "Google-Now-From-Navring"-Reboot issue. Reproducable every time i use that shortcut (no others in there). Happens since some builds, but can't remember when it started exactly. Also some random reboots. But it always happens in "no logcat"-situations :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Thanks for reporting.. Will try to replicate those bugs and see if they can be fixed. The camera bug should be fixed in the next nightly / custom build already.

Thanks for reporting
[Xperia Z Android Development] [-Amrish-]:
I never had a reboot on 0818 cb :)

I'll upload a screenshot that shows the random reboot with a heavy battery drain.
[Xperia Z Android Development] joejoe23:
So Jeroen, you're from the past? Didn't know android existed in 1970. Haha

Sent from my C6603
[Xperia Z Android Development] sacredsoul:
I suggest you delete this post...

We don't want Jeroen's DeLorean to get discovered, do we?
[Xperia Z Android Development] joejoe23:
I have no idea who that is.K that's it for now back to topic.

Sent from my C6603
[Xperia Z Android Development] sacredsoul:
DeLorean is the car from Back to the future..

OK, back to topic.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Juzman:
I can use the kernel from the latest custom build on CM 10.2 yeah? I flashed CM 10.2 nightly, and want undervolting though.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Yes you can.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Juzman:
Thanks for the response jeroenqui. In the future when you release custom builds, would you considering a "kernel only" flashable zip with kernel changes too? Save having to download 100+MB just to get the boot.img / modified files?

Edit: Made a custom flashable zip with files from 0905 custom - can be downloaded here: G-Drive

Has boot.img + wifi files.

Will try keep updates as you release custom builds.
[Xperia Z Android Development] EmeraldTimer:
Too much battery drain, im gonna install another rom
[Xperia Z Android Development] Zigurat:
Hey!

Can anyone tell me howcome there are two ways to change the navigation bar color (AOKP and PA)? Is there a difference between how they work or which is the dominent one?

I have set up colored navigation bar under hybrid settings, but when I go to pac-settings --> navigation bar, the color sometimes resets to the color set here. I have to then manually go back to hybrid settings to get it back again or reboot the phone.

Any clarification would be much appreciated :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] jdjta:
Installed 1209 nightly and Settings still FC for me if I tap General UI.

When I installed the nightly it gave me Tablet UI by default so all my homescreens were messed up and part of my PAC-man settings were gone (settings concerning interface of some apps).

Hope you can fix these things in your custom build and future nightlies..for now I'll stick with 0910.
[Xperia Z Android Development] aashgaur:
waiting for the new build :D :D F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 :P
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
It's coming tonight (in a few hours)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Uruhara:
Hi Jero! In upcoming build tablet ui will be fixed? ^_^
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Yes, it should be fixed.
[Xperia Z Android Development] diabole:
Wonderful news :)

hi, I did download and install pac_yuga-nightly-20130912.zip after some hours now, it stop working. complete black, it will not turn on either when I connect it a PC or loaded drive. does anyone have any advice?
[Xperia Z Android Development] jdjta:
Found a solution to fix torch in another (CM10.2 FXP) forum:

Torch can be fixed by changing the file permissions of /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0053/torch_current and /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0053/torch_enable to rw-rw-rw.

Just fixed it on nightly 0910 and then installed custom 0912 and it got broken again so maybe something to implement in next builds ;)?

Custom 0912 looking good so far, no FC's except torch.
[Xperia Z Android Development] grusapa:
i did some flashing with Flashtool-drivers-1.1-20130911 from http://d-h.st/Wyk now its alive again ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
Wow. The new window animations are pretty cool!

Thx for the great update Jeroen!

No problems so far!
[Xperia Z Android Development] diabole:
The latest custom build is so wonderful :) But i want to use my xz like this, but settings fc :( Does anybody know why?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Juzman:
To create flashable kernel zip, I just grab boot.img from this build, and the WiFi files from previous build? Or is there some files I have to get specifically for the camera and sysmonitor stuff too?
[Xperia Z Android Development] jdjta:
I created a new file but haven't used it myself so I can't garantuee it works....

Download

Edit: I used the kernel and wifi-files from latest custom build

Edit 2 (1309): put the sysmon.cfg in the file and made it set permissions right.
[Xperia Z Android Development] [-Amrish-]:
New pac rom build! Ariba ariba! Andale andale!

Thanks for this build Jeroen. Gonna charge my phone and flash it!

And I know a dirty flash ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
No, you will also need to included system/etc/sysmon.cfg
[Xperia Z Android Development] jdjta:
Thanks, I'm not sure I did this right but I placed the file in the same folder. Don't know if I have to change the updater-script but I updated the download link in my earlier post.
[Xperia Z Android Development] power461:
Thanks for this great ROM.

Is there a way to customize the app that appears when I tap on recent apps button?

Now I have clock apollo camera calculator and calendar.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Juzman:
Any other files for camera improvements? Or is that part of boot.img?

Edit: Build is up here. Flashed and working with CM10.2. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Uruhara:
I have mentioned this settings FC bug in tablet mode in previos custom build but no one ansewred with solution for that. I have the same bug as u soo u r not alone ^_^
[Xperia Z Android Development] Juzman:
Change sysapps and userapps to 600p
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
its working fine for me here. (0910 -> 0912)

thanks for the great info btw!

edit: nvm, possibly not working after a reboot. :\

edit2: works again after reboot (setting permissions).. now i'll just wait for a random hotboot and see if it'll still "work" :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] diabole:
Thanx for the tips, will try that :) You mean complete phablet mode? What i want is to have noti and nav bar in phablet mode, settings and other apps in tablet mode. It worked perfectly in 4.2.2
[Xperia Z Android Development] Juzman:
Yeah, everything in Phablet. I found that SystemUI crashed when setting to 1000p. Other option would be to set it all to 1000p and then change only SystemUI to 600p, may work.
[Xperia Z Android Development] diabole:
It didn't crash :) But i want the opposite effect. Menus in tablet and nav, noti bar in phablet. Has it maybe something to do with the new layout look in the menu's?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Juzman:
Honestly wouldn't be able to help here. I've always used the standard Phone UI, never liked Phablet / Tablet.
[Xperia Z Android Development] diabole:
Thanx for trying :) I'll found a temporary solution :) If I want to reach settings I must go through battery icon in the toggles :)

It stands that you updated twrp. My is still ver 2.6.0.0 :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Which release are you on? If you installed 0912 custom build, it will be installed after flashing this.

I just checked on my phone, and I got 2.6.3.0

If not, you may try to fastboot flash the boot.img from the custom release.
[Xperia Z Android Development] diabole:
I'm on the latest custom. I'm already tried that :( I'm even tried to update via goo manager without any success.

Now i tried to flash a old twrp i found in my phone (2.4) It worked out, then i fastboot flashed the boot.img for latest custom build and back on 2.6.0.0 :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] Juzman:
Can confirm I flashed the boot.img from custom build on CM 10.2 with my zip and it's indeed 2.6.3.0. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] xyqtt:
I need to reset permission after each reboot
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
Just got an auto hotboot. Torch still works as long as long there's no manual reboot or shutdown :).
[Xperia Z Android Development] op1op2:
when i use the tablet model and reboot the phone,then i cant enter the setting,it FCs forever.

and the system ui will fc when i use language like Simplified Chinese,Traditional Chinese,Japanese...both 0905 and 0912 have this problem.....

so i just have to flash back to jb 4.2.2 pac.............so sad...:rolleyes:
[Xperia Z Android Development] diabole:
You can reach it from the battery toggle :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] sanjazz909:
Just installed the new custom release. ( didn't wipe anything)

Works like a charm. New Animation are awesome. No fc in settings or anywhere else so far :thumbup:

I use phablet mode...

Great work jeron! :D

Bedankt.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jdjta:
I have a lot of usb connection problems lately, especially when I try to copy my TWRP backups from SD.

I make a backup to SD, install zips and reboot system. After I'm booted to system I connect my XZ to PC and navigate to my backup folder. I copy the folder and try to paste it somewhere on my PC. At first it starts without any problem but when it gets to about 75% it get stuck and the process freezes my pc. Most times I end up disconnecting my phone which ends the process.

First thought this problem had something to do with the permissions (had this before when I was on another ROM with dualrecovery) and already tried reinstalling my USB drivers but nothing seems to fix it....

Anybody experiencing this?

Edit: I'm using a 8gb Transcend class 6 FAT32 card which works fine in my HTC Sensation. Now trying if formatting in exFAT changes anything...

Otherwise 0912 is really smooth and I think I'll stick with it, giving up nightlies for now ;)! Very nice update!
[Xperia Z Android Development] hussainr:
Great Rom

Great job :good: best rom for me compare to stock and others.

most important thing for me is battery life which is a little better than stock.

battery lasted a little less than 24 hours , not heavy use though .

maybe i need to use more tweaks. used 5th sept build.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jayavinash:
I notice my mobile signal is very weak, data connection always not available even 2g but my another phone is on 4g,wifi signal is very weak compare to my blackberry and the blue line on my call log is still there from the previous version.
[Xperia Z Android Development] venky716:
Wifi signal is weak on XZ by default can't do much about it.

Mobile signal and data depends on ur carrier for me its always full.

For the blue line try changing the dpi for phone app to 320 or 340 or 480.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jayavinash:
When I was in 4.2 pac rom im always on 4g and when I was in 4.3 saber rom I was Also on 4g all time but this rom I hardly get h+and most of the time there is no data connection. Will try to change the dpi and see for the blue line.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ckyy:
Try a different baseband.

Gesendet von meinem C6603 mit Tapatalk 4
[Xperia Z Android Development] sanjazz909:
thanks ... i als had the blue line problem.

but the name of the app is dialer not phone. this is why my previous attemps failed...
[Xperia Z Android Development] jayavinash:
Hi I have tried to change the dpi under apps and phone but still the same.... Maybe can you guide me under where I should change. Tq

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

I have went as low as 240dpi in both phone and dialer but nothing change the line is still there
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
Settings -> Swipe to pacman -> Hybrid Properties -> Swipe to the right once -> "Tools" -> Check "Expert mode"

then go to Interface and change the values.
[Xperia Z Android Development] venky716:
This is what i did added paranoid preference to quick settings toggle, opened up the dialer and selected the per app toggle. tried different dpi till it got sorted.

Hope this helps.
[Xperia Z Android Development] vincyi269:
0912 custom build is awesome! :good: :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
he must be using 4.2.2 :)

as far as i know 4.3 they separated the contact and dialer :D

got tablet mode for my contacts and phone mode for the dialer..!
[Xperia Z Android Development] diabole:
Hey everybody :) I'm on the latest custom build. I can't update my twrp, I'm stuck on 2.6.0.0. And it shows only little bit more than half of the screen :( Feels like I've tried everything :( Does somebody have any idea what to do? Does somebody have a flashable zip for twrp 2.6.3.0?
[Xperia Z Android Development] [-Amrish-]:
Forgot to post something here after I flashed the latest build.

WELL all I can say is......awesome :highfive:

Lovely animations Jeroen.

Everything works fine now. No FC's on settings or general ui (never had this issue)

I'm gonna stick on this build for a while...if I don't get any random reboots.

TWRP version = 2.6.3.0

I'm using 410 dpi on phone mode (for the most apps + dailer)

How about you guys? What kind of dpi are you using?
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
Did you try flashing the kernel via fastboot?

Sure you really flashed the latest custom build?

Sorry for the question, but normally if you flashed the latest build and it's running fine you should have latest twrp automatically!?
[Xperia Z Android Development] diabole:
Yes I've tried trough fastboot. Yes I'm sure, checked 3 timmes ;) The build runs super nice, I don't know what to do!? :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
Hm... Sorry, but then I also don't know where the problem is!

My only suggestion is to back up your files, do a full wipe and install the latest build.

Sometimes you mess up something and a clean install is the only solution!

Good luck!
[Xperia Z Android Development] diabole:
Thank you, will try that tomorrow :) Do you think I can flash a twrp zip through recovery if i found some!?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ILikeTheWayYouMove2:
Recently installed this ROM and wow its fast and fluid but is there anyway to change the DPI of navbar?
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
It must be specific for xz. So the chance is very rare.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Settings, hybrid properties, interface, the navbar slider there is the dpi.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ILikeTheWayYouMove2:
Thanks I keep finding new things and features and settings every time I go on my phone now, wow and gaming performance is better than stock ROMs aswell thankyou

Will do my review in a few days!
[Xperia Z Android Development] [-Amrish-]:
I think it has to do with CM. He came from CM right? So it's a CM issue en not PAC's.

I think you will get this issue when you come from a different rom than Pac.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
