Where will i get stock kernel?? Do i need to tale backup of that?? searched over forum but found kernels "based on stock" not pure stock..i took the backup using TWRP..as u suggested the CWM coming with this ROM, i think it wont be able to install my current backup created by TWRP
[Xperia Z Android Development] Azurren:
You can always re-flash TWRP if you ever need to restore, so that's a non issue :)

The custom build posted on the last page includes Meow Kernel. The other builds include the Cyanogemod kernel.

Official sony builds flashed via Flashtool or the official sony application includes the stock kernel.

So you shouldn't have to worry about kernels ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] onkarsingh_pardeshi:
I have unlocked my XZs bootloader now...:victory:....So for installing

ROM I dont need to install MEOW-kernel separately..is it right?? or I've to install the MEOW-kernel first then the ROM zip..i've downloaded the zip of MEOW-kernel and zip of ROM...
[Xperia Z Android Development] Azurren:
Installing kernels and a rom at the same time has always been finicky for me on the XZ. Imo it's best to install the rom, set it up and check that everything is working correctly.

Obviously not everything, just the basics such as internet / Force Close dialogues

Then flash the kernel over the top, gives you a chance to perform another nandroid back up if you're worried about anything :)

Btw this link combines both the rom / meow kernel into a single flashable zip:

Thanks....done!!!...looking good now,,,bt the phone seems laging sometime,,,,dont know why...:confused:
[Xperia Z Android Development] Azurren:
Custom roms aren't without their hiccups, bugs and slight annoyances..

For a lot of us the features outweigh the occasional lag and other issues, but it's not for everyone :)

Give it a fair chance and see how it goes :o

These roms are always changing and getting updated. Lags, bugs and other issues come and go every few updates :P

i have rooted my phone, backup TA partition, unlocked bootloader. now, i wanna instal this rom. first step, i have to flash the kernel (boot.img) from "pac_yuga_4.4.4-custom.build_20140714.zip", and after that, i have to entry recovery to install zip (pac_yuga_4.4.4-custom.build_20140714.zip and gapps.zip)? its that correct?

---------- Post added at 09:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 AM ----------

actually, to be clear, i have made the pre-steps. now, i have downloaded 'MEOW-kernel.v2.07.14-kitkat-yuga.zip' & 'pac_yuga_4.4.4-custom.build_20140714.zip'. what i have to do with them?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Richy99:
FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS:

POWER OFF THE PHONE

HOLD VOL+ AND PLUG USB TO BOOT INTO FASTBOOT (BLUE LED)

fastboot flash boot boot.img (from zip file)

fastboot reboot

ENTER RECOVERY (on boot led will be violet for 3'', during this period press vol+)

FACTORY RESET

WIPE CACHE & DALVIK CACHE

INSTALL ROM AND GAPPS

REBOOT

its not difficuilt to find how to do this if you search, those are taken from the paranoid android thread but the same applies here
[Xperia Z Android Development] tomicop:
if i installed the custom build, its okay if i install 'MEOW-kernel.v2.07.14-kitkat-yuga.zip'?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Richy99:
the latest version already has this kernel as default
[Xperia Z Android Development] tomicop:
im using the latest gapps 20140606. it could be the cause of lag?

that's not the latest version of the gapps, it might be the cause of lag it might not

[Xperia Z Android Development] Richy99:
You need to unlock your bootloader to use this rom... I think you might need to research the subject more before you consider a custom rom like this
[Xperia Z Android Development] tomicop:
do you have lag on the phone? which version of rom and gapps are u using?

---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

unlock your bootloader (http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/), backup TA partition, flash the boot.img from the rom.zip using flashtool, after that, entry recovery by pressing volume up multimple times till the led become yellow and install rom.zip and gapps.zip

---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------

another question, whats the difference between devs updates, nightly updates and the custom build update? which is the most stable and smooth? and what version of gapps do you use?

Bug :: Strange Behaviour (Google Camera problem)

I bought a new Xperia Z

1. I flashed PAC-ROM with built-in Meow Kernel the latest one 0714.

2. Then flashed latest Meow Kernel. (Cause i wanted to have Meow boot screen).

3. And then finally flashed latest PA-Gapps (Stock one) with .forcenocamera option.

I did all this day before yesterday.

I observed lots of reboots whenever their was some activity related to camera. I was not able to install google camera from play store. And I kept having errors on PAC Console something related to some s*** (I don't really remember the word).

Today Just Now.

Carried out factory reset from CWM recovery.

1. flashed PAC-ROM with built-in Meow Kernel the latest one 0714.

2. And then flashed latest PA-Gapps(Stock one) with .forcenocamera option.

Somehow I am able to install Google Camera from play store. And no reboots so far.

Currently restoring the apps.

---------- Post added at 01:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

It is because when Device goes into Deep Sleep proximity sensor is turned off. So, mate it won't work to save battery.

I'am on latest pac-dev-20140721 which is really an amazing ROM with awesome battery life and many custom options.

Just two question.The DSP manager stopped working every time I played song via Play music or poweramp (with the music FX on). Although in Apollo DSP didn't pop up the crash window, it didn't take effect.

Another one is device would be waked up into Active play mode when skipped to the next song (poweramp only, Apollo and Play music work properly) and the Auto-sleep didn't work at this moment, so you must double tap the screen or use the power button to turn off the screen.

I always do a fresh installation. Do anyone have this problem?? Thanks in advance :(

Restart the The Themer service and then do reboot. It should work, in my experience it generally happened due to poorly designed/infected custom theme apk.

[Xperia Z Android Development] kemmo123:
if you guys need to be in cwm recovery instead of twrp. just extract the boot.img file from the zip in an earlier build, before and including 01/05/2013 and flash in manually with fastboot. also on either recovery, before you attempt to flash a rom, go to mounts and mount 'system'. this is why our phones get stuck installing. if you can't mount system, reboot recovery and try again. I also found that installing gapps first normally does the trick, but you must install it again after rom flash. good luck!

I got a major problem:

My lock-screen remains black when I switch on my phone while charging the battery. There is just a small part at the bottom of the screen

where I can see my wallpaper. So I can't unlock the screen and therefore can't use the phone :(

A reboot, wipe cache and dalvic didn't solve the problem. So I had to do a factory reset. Anyone else facing this problem?

I attached the logcat of two threads which may cause this problem.

Any idea?

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

I am having issues with battery drain. I noticed Android Os process is eating a lot of my battery.

Okay, I know this issue is been discussed a lot, and here is the stuff I tried.

1. I don't use wifi so I have turned off and in advanced setting turned off the always scan option.

2. I cannot turn of location service as I use map a lot and I have weather service on, which update itself after every 30 min.

3. From this Android 4.4.2 camera bug link I came to know about camera. And camera is seriously troubling me I use Hold Screen On Pro app which is similar to samsung smart stay application. And after some while it stops working giving error camera is busy. I guess this is similar scenario as that of link I mentioned.

(Note.: I use CM11 in Xperia L with same set of apps and there were no such case. [MENTION=2446348]jeroenqui[/MENTION] if possible please look into camera issue. :fingers-crossed:)

P.S. I keep my 2G data on 24*7 ( I do same with Xperia L and I have similar battery backup as mentioned in gsm arena)

Hope I am not going in wrong direction

Peace :angel:

Buttons are still functional. The strange thing is that they all render correctly when adding / changing the order of these buttons :silly:

Using latest nightly uploaded on basketbuild. Almost all pac options are removed. It feels like using orignal Cynogenmod. :( with no PAC enhancements.

I'm assuming that it's an oversight due to the reworking of the PAC tweaks menu. Either that or it's still a work in progress..
