Torch/flaslight still isn't working without changing permission.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Fasty12:
Sigh

Ive been wanting to say this for a long time but many members on here just sound so ungrateful and its pissing me off. Instead of thanking the dev they just straight up tell them whats wrong with the rom.
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
I am using dash light for torch and it's working perfect on every build of PAC!

Well playing a moralist also doesn't help...

Just calm down and think about your heart mate ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] xyqtt:
I'm sorry, I tought this tread was about developing a rom. And telling the developer that flashlight isn't working might result that he can fix the problem some of us have. And I'm thankful someone is investing his time in providing us with such a great rom. But if you did watch the intro movie when you registered here on the forum. You should know that posting thanks only clogs a tread and for that purpose and thank you button is there.

Sorry for this off topic.
[Xperia Z Android Development] matique:
Great build so far. Pretty stable through and through. I don't know if it has been mentioned before though, but for me, the statusbar brightness can't be turned off. I've unpicked the option, it stuck for awhile, then reverted to statusbar auto slider again. I want to turn it off :/

Edit: am on the 21/9 build.
[Xperia Z Android Development] gregland:
Same for me !

The latest custom build is just amazing. One question though. Is it possible to change pie colour?

Yes, device is slow for a 1,5Quad with 2GB... :(

Hey!

Pie colour can be changed by going into hybrid settings and playing with colours of the navigation bar :D

...just one quick question ::: Do we need to flash the meow kernel separately if we are going for the nightly version of this Rom ??

thanks! :cowboy:
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Yes you do. Nightlies do not include MEOW-kernel, only custom builds do.

You can just download the MEOW-kernel zip and flash it trough recovery.

status bar brightness problem :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
I have a similar problem. For example I tap on brightness to change the setting but the settings don't stick. If I select auto brightness and auto brightness settings it freezes the system for a few seconds.
[Xperia Z Android Development] tobiwork:
Why I can't import contacts from sim card :/ I can't find the option to do that any other way to import ?

Go to the people app and press menu (3 dots) and choose import /export.

I don't have those 3 dots in the latest custom.:/

Are you on a lattest build? Had the same problem on several previous nightlies, but somehow it was gone on one of recent vesrsions
[Xperia Z Android Development] banny7000:
Had to roll back to 16.9 build.brightness bug was making 21.9 custom build unusable every time I pulled notification bar down brightness went to100%.
[Xperia Z Android Development] XDA.AGM:
I do not I have that problem with the brightness....( I have it in automatic mode )

this may be related to your selected theme?
[Xperia Z Android Development] tobiwork:
i had to make it always show + when i went to import contacts from sim it told me i don't have contacts in sim card i had to switch to other rom and backup my contacts with google and then restore it in pac :confused::( so please fix it in the next releases
[Xperia Z Android Development] diabole:
Or keep your contacts at google!? I have mine there, no contacts on sim :)

Yeah I am on the latest build and no its not theme related! Even system theme had this problem!

Hey!

I also have this bug, but was present on 16.9. build as well for me, though it was a hit and miss before, now it is constantly ramping the brightness to max or somtimes to near max. tried with setting status bar brightness slider on and off. No difference. Any ideas chef or some1 else?

Thanks for your help!

EDIT: It is actually like this... if u pull from the left, the brightness gets lower, whilst pulling from the right makes it higher, yet the status bar brightness toggle is unchecked... possible glitch?
[Xperia Z Android Development] mnzel:
This happened today...My touch screen is not working... I installed the pac rom yesterday...everything was working fine....today, when i was going to unlock phone, the touch screen stopped working...cant receive calls ..do nothing...

Serious help needed.... waiting for the battery to drain out, so that i can go to recovery and work something out...

HELP !!!!! :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] freemsk1:
Had the same issue, moreover, when I finally managed to unlock it, screen was going crazy, like someone was rapidly pressing the screen with very high frequency. Reflashing the same build (or maybe one of recent nightlies, can't remember) solved the problem for me

PS: just caught the same bug, I guess it has something to do with two latest kernel features (Doubletap 2 Wake and Sweep 2 Wake). This time, after few minutes of trying to revive my touchscreen it suddenly came back to life. Looks like I simply doubletapped it :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] jayavinash:
The latest version is very laggy anything I do on the phone is lagging like hell I feel the previous version is much better than this and the battery really draining very fast
[Xperia Z Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
I also have this bug on latest custom build.
[Xperia Z Android Development] banny7000:
Yep exactly like that
[Xperia Z Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
Another weird thing is messing with the brightness settings sometimes freezes my system and resets my wallpaper to a black screen!!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Bloch_hd2:
In case You don't know, you can hard reboot your device by pressing power+vol up button :) I have experienced this bug one time before, but only that one time..

Multi touch bug

I think there might be a bug. When I touch the screen, there are multiple touches along the horizontal plane of your touch. It's kinda irritating but i guess we have to bear with it till there is a fix.
[Xperia Z Android Development] droid_does:
Same fie me as well.

Sent from my C6603
[Xperia Z Android Development] freemsk1:
Guess that it definitely is, I caught it again and this time do not know what to do with it (( I can unclock the phone, but then touchscreen becomes unresponsive :(

PS: Every touch keeps just sliding the notification bar up and down :(

PPS: Like last time, it is suddenly back to normal
[Xperia Z Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
It seems this latest build has a few bugs. Awaiting update ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] [-Amrish-]:
On build 0916 you could disable the brightness control for statusbar by enabling it and disabling it. But on the latest build is acting like crazy. When I slide down the quick notification the brightness gets to maximum. And yes i've ticked and unticked it in settings again. It's still active! Also the phone hangs for few seconds.

Sigh...

Edit: the brightness also change when you try to pulldown the statusbar. No matter on which spot you slide it.
[Xperia Z Android Development] av4tar:
custom or nightly?

im running the 0916 nightly and even if this option is unchecked it still changes brightness when using the status bar,

also updated to the meow kernel and have experienced the same as others where the phones reacted but its gone mad when the screens on (lagging, notification bar pulling up and down, touchscreen looks like its calibration is off) and it got very hot while idle. ill also post in the kernel thread.
[Xperia Z Android Development] [-Amrish-]:
On custom 0916 everything was alright. But on custom 0921 the whole system acts crazy when ticking and unticking the statusbar.

Gladly I made a backup but I want to stay on this build but if it gets annoying then I revert back to 0916 custom build.
[Xperia Z Android Development] mjalil:
im facing the same issue with the latest custom ROM , 21-september

which the lock screen freezes and cant do anything rather than force reboot
[Xperia Z Android Development] av4tar:
Did you update meow kernel or running the one from the nightly zip?
[Xperia Z Android Development] All Day On XDA:
Could someone tell me how to change the strength of the touch vibrations please?

Sent from my C6603
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
is anyone having touch sound issues with 0923? (keyboard typing, pressing menu/back keys, etc)

i dirty flash-ed this tho from 0912 (because the builts after that have some bugs that disables me from using it)

if no one has issues then i guess maybe i'll give it a full wipe for 0923.
[Xperia Z Android Development] vincyi269:
hmm, I did get similar screen lock freeze and nothing I press responds except the hard reboot. Also the notification bar goes crazy when I touch the screen
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Can anyone tell me how to replicate that lockscreen freeze? When does it happen, or is it random?

I do not experience any problems, so I have no clue where to fix this yet..
[Xperia Z Android Development] freemsk1:
By the way, how long does it take to hard reboot? I waited about 5 min and it kept showing the boot animation (boot loop, I guess). This happens on every reboot I make, so have to reflash it all over. And even then (in some cases) it drops to bootloop after "updating apps", "launching apps" it doesn't reach "finalizing boot" and reboots :(

It is random by now, but I'll keep watching to identify the circumstances
[Xperia Z Android Development] Juzman:
Happening with cm nightly + latest meow kernel too. Unfortunately its random. Unlocked my phone and notification bar was dancing up/down like crazy. Held in power button to bring up menu and "reboot" was automatically pressed.
[Xperia Z Android Development] BoneMo:
Strange, never happened to me using CM+MEOW :eek:

maybe it is PAC related
[Xperia Z Android Development] Juzman:
I'm not running PAC. Just nightlies of CM and MEOW kernel.
[Xperia Z Android Development] bharadwajex:
It is actually not a lock screen freeze, there is a multi touch bug. When you try to unlock the screen, are are multiple touches across the horizonal plane thus it appears as though there is a problem with unlocking the phone. I am able to observe this as I turned on the option to see touches. The multi touch bug also occurs randomly. I will attach a screen shot.
[Xperia Z Android Development] chienline:
Settings >> DEVICE More... [below Users] ;)

Random, touch-screen calibration screwed up. Seems like Sweep2Wake and DoubleTap2Wake problem, or something to do with kernel setting, I'm not good in those kernel values setting :D I just use the default setting comes with flashing.

Sometimes s2w can cure it. Sometimes double tap can cure it. Sometimes both don't work and need to hard reset by button.

Happens to me on Custom 9.21 + separate downloaded Meow Kernel 9.21.

Also on Custom 9.21 + separate downloaded Meow Kernel 9.20.

Now I'm running on Custom 9.21 with included kernel for half a day, no problem yet so far.
[Xperia Z Android Development] sacredsoul:
Starhub? Hello fellow Singaporean!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Novek:
anything new on the random reboot problem?
[Xperia Z Android Development] [-Amrish-]:
Ok that's it. I'm going back to 0916 custom. Each time I touch the statusbar it jumps to a different brightness. Then you can change it back the way it was. This happens also on phone calls. Freaking annoying!

Anyways Jeroen. Why don't you disable or remove the statusbar brightness mod?

If you have a brightness tile then you don't need the slider at all.
[Xperia Z Android Development] pvyParts:
This is fixed in the latest builds

:)

Pvy
[Xperia Z Android Development] Juzman:
Flashed MEOW on latest CM nightly. Disabled double tap/sweep 2 wake. Will see if I still have weird lockscreen issues.
[Xperia Z Android Development] [-Amrish-]:
Or do you mean it will be fixed in the upcoming build? Why I say this is because the latest custom build is 0921 ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] av4tar:
I disabled mine through terminal, wasn't active for a day then the multiple touch bug started and touch2wake is working again
[Xperia Z Android Development] pvyParts:
I build the rom myself as I help to develop it, so the latest nightlies are what i always refer to sry :)

Pvy.
[Xperia Z Android Development] auggie246:
Same thing. It was in my pocket and I felt my phone getting hotter. It was double taping like crazy by itself. Is there any way to disable this function. Kinda useless when the button is so much better
[Xperia Z Android Development] chienline:
Actually it is good to have DoubleTap2Wake, as we all know a button has "how-many-clicks" life span, so this feature will preserve

our button to live longer :)

Just about how it is developed to be better and better with daily use and people behavior.

In my case, yes I disable DoubleTap2Wake :D

I experienced that when I put it in my jeans pocket and the touchscreen facing out, I can doubleTap on my pocket and wake the phone.

This is not good. Because in sleep mode, the phone doesn't detect which is finger skin and which is not [my pocket cloth] :rolleyes:

When I put the touchscreen facing in [facing my leg], if I have pocket stitch line right through the screen, then it could wake the phone

also, as I walk the screen will bumps on the stitch and it is considered as taps.

So in my opinion it will be good if we can set the DoubleTap faster. We should have a very fast doubleTap to wake the phone, let's say the second tap should be in 200ms from the first one?

I don't really use a stopwatch to test but I guess now we have the default about 500ms [half a second] between taps to wake the phone.
[Xperia Z Android Development] auggie246:
How did u disable it?
[Xperia Z Android Development] chienline:
Download Trickster MOD from playstore. Under SPECIFIC page there's a "Screen Wake Control".

Or using Terminal Emulator :

Or else using root explorer go to /sys/android_touch

There are two files : doubletap2wake and sweep2wake.

Change the permission to writeable, open with textEditor, change the value from "1" to "0".

Save the changes and don't forget to change the permission back just like before.
[Xperia Z Android Development] bharadwajex:
omg didn't realize that there DoubleTap2Wake. I just tried it out and it is awesome. I have a casing so it can be troublesome to press the power button but the doubletap2wake makes it so much more convenient!
[Xperia Z Android Development] vincyi269:
For that reason I had to take out my Xperia Z case and use it for the sake of not getting unintentional wake ups due to double tap :rolleyes: I guess I prefer my Xperia Z nude.. pretty much kills the beautiful slim design with a case
[Xperia Z Android Development] auggie246:
Disable double tap 2 wake. And sweep2wake. Still happening but a little different. it keep sweeping down notification .
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
ANNOUNCEMENT

Ok, due to all the messages here about sweep2wake and doubletap2wake and stuff, I am thinking of stopping doing custom PAC builds for now.

Since I now released MEOW-kernel in a seperate thread, I think there is no use for releasing Custom Builds. The only custom thing about Custom builds is the kernel anyways. When the kernel get's updated, you can just download the kernel and flash it over the PAC nightlies. Since it's not such a big download (around 12 MB), I think it's fair to offer this alternative.

In this way you can flash new updates of PAC daily from here, and just keep the newest MEOW-kernel zip in your flash directory, and flash it after you flashed the PAC update.

Of course when something changes or other improvements happen which are not on kernel level, I will rethink this situation.

So from now on, all questions about the kernel should be asked in the MEOW-kernel thread

Link to MEOW-kernel thread: here

greetings, jeroenqui
[Xperia Z Android Development] _DX_:
Understandable. I always thought that you added more functionality and other stuff :) Switching over to nightlies and adding on your kernel as of now :D Thanks for your hard work and these awesome ROM's, hoping to see more of that good stuff in your kernel thread!
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
The more functionality is added to PAC-rom, which will also be in the nightlies of this ROM..

So, don't worry, you will still get all the added functionalities...
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dev Jaskirat:
The cool nexus animations too?

Sent from my »Xperia™ Z« running on PACman
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Yes, they're all in the nightlies too :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] lhurtado:
Thanks for all the effort put in this ROM! I really love it!

So I suppose you didn't have any plan to release a Linaro optimized ROM/Kernel?

Well, this is very smooth, but every bit helps!

BR
[Xperia Z Android Development] vincyi269:
haha, Thanks for the announcement! dont get me wrong, it's the best custom ROM in my opinion for the Z. :laugh: sometimes the bugs doesn't really bother me at all, a good reboot and everything works.. it is still my daily ! loving this rom! your work is awesome! :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Yes, there are plans for that. Will be soon.

Thank you for your kind words! :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] hudsonhicks:
Which order is best?

Pac Rom

Gapps

Meow kernel?
[Xperia Z Android Development] jdjta:
I don't think there's a particular order in which you have to install. The changes take effect after reboot. I assume that as long as you install the ROM first it should be fine. Personally I always install in this order:

1. ROM

2. MEOW

3. Other zips (Like Gapps or MOD's)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Bloch_hd2:
Well that does make sense. Just know that we are a lot who is very grateful for all the work you have done, at least I know I am! But one thing i have been thinking about; now when we rely on nightlies alone, where will it be possible to find a changelog for each nightly :)? Without a changelog it's hard to follow the process of the rom, furthermore is always nice to know what is being flashed :)
