You've probably installed an alternate recovery, like TRWP, right? It flashes a very old kernel where this problem exist.

Reflash the rom, and your problem will be solved.
[Xperia Z Android Development] CHUPACAPRA71:
Thats the backlight bug. It never happend to me runnin this Rom. Strange, maybe reinstall the Rom and flash it again. U did a full wipe ?

Right now i remember same prob for me:D
[Xperia Z Android Development] Juzman:
Yeah, I flashed TWRP. Any way to speed up the backup in CWM (that's why I flashed TWRP). Thanks for the info though.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
I will include TRWP into the kernel of the rom soon.

---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

I installed the ROM two hours ago.

Words fail me (though they don't in reality obviously) - this is POETRY.

There is so much damned content here, it's mind boggling. One could take weeks to explore all the customization options. My preferred mode is phablet - and everything seems to be ALREADY IN PLACE. Ditto the other modes. Never have I switched UIs with so much effortlessness.

PIE control is outstanding. Though I might not use it all the time, it is just one click away in that excellent notification bar. GENIUS.

Play Store compatibility is exemplary - on my Sony stock ROM some apps appeared as incompatible; no more.

I haven't tried out my beloved MIRACAST yet but seeing the wireless display options, I guess I have reason to hope.

This is mind boggling. In fact it is so, so, so much more than AOSP Android. It is another OS entirely. I wasn't expecting this much. I am well and truly overwhelmed.

I would love it if you guys make a paid app in Play Store aimed at customizing this ROM - it need only contain shortcuts if necessary. Navigating the various such options in the customary places of CM, AOKP and PA is a nightmare. I believe this app can also provide backups of settings and seemless updating of the ROM. If this happens, the ROM - no, the OS will be complete in all respects.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Juzman:
I have that installed and geeenified(?) Facebook, Google+ and maps. Should I freenify everything?

So charged to 100%, locked phone and unplugged. 5 hours on sleep lost 5%. So isn't too bad. :)

It is just actually using it that kills it, even though I mainly text.
[Xperia Z Android Development] CHUPACAPRA71:
Hello jeronique, I found out that my problem with the mobile data (network mode?) Is if if switch it on preferred LTE/WCDMA or LTE/GSM/WCDMA the phone is loosing the connection after a minute but if I switch it on GSM/WCMDA preferred then it's stable. I hope u can understand my noob explanation. :)

Everything else is 100% stable. this problem is there since I flashed the 20th now I'm back on 18th but it's still there. I don't want to complain I just want to report u it's not a big problem for me! ;)

Still one of the best ROM's I ever used

How-to do so we can see the new baseband under the "About Phone" columns? :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] ram11:
Guys, need help. Was on this ROM, but wanted to try the Honamix ROM, but stuck in kind of a loop.

Copied the Honamix rom zip package to microSD, rebooted into TWRP recovery, did a backup, did factory reset, installed the rom until finish. Turned off device, flashed kernel and baseband of stock rom via ftf tool. All went well but now on a blank screen even after rebooting several times. but before the blank screen, jus the PAC symbol comes up. Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong?

Went to TWRP and flashed again, but same white blank screen.
[Xperia Z Android Development] EmeraldTimer:
maybe flash boot? :good:

Hey folks. A little message here. I'm safe and sound at my vacation address. Enjoying the sun of Portugal a lot! I try to take a vacation from this thread too, but still I look every few hours :) But it seems the people from this thread family will help each other most of the time. While I'm gone, it doesn't mean nightlies get updates. The PAC team works hard to bring more amazing stuff to this ROM every day. I suggest you switch to nightlies for now, and flash the latest MEOW kernel after it. Wifi should work fine, but if for some reason wifi is not working, take the files from the latest custom release from /system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/ (3 files) and put them in the same location on the rom, and reboot. Then it will work again.

Bye, my dear PAC family :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Mr. Droid:
Pac console shows no update
[Xperia Z Android Development] XDA.AGM:
thank you very much indeed, Pac team & you are awesome! . I can not believe how fast and well the team works, this is a Rom with support ....

even on vacation!! ....

:good: Enjoy the vacation :good: :D Thanks :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] pvyParts:

Lol

The yuga is what I used to test ota. You'll get one when it happens.

[Xperia Z Android Development] jdjta:
Tried to install 0820 nightly, turned off device after recovery finished and flashed MEOW-kernel (the 0818-version) in fastboot. After reboot wifi didn't work...so I replaced the wifi-files with the ones from 0818 custom but wifi still won't turn on after reboot. Then tried 0816-files but same result, no wifi.

Still a great ROM and big thanks for all the work you and your team put in to it everyday! But for now I'll have to stay with custom 0818 I'm afraid...

Enjoy your well deserved vacation :D!

Edit: Sorry, fixed it..I was already on MEOW-kernel 0818 and after restoring backup just flashed nightly 0820 and after reboot everything is fine for now :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] freemsk1:
Sorry for stupid question, but how to know I'm using this custom MEOW-kernel? If I haven't flashed it in fastboot so I'm not on it, right?
[Xperia Z Android Development] MiniDemonic:
If you are using the latest custom release then you have the custom kernel, if you are on nightlies but haven't flashed the kernel then you do not have it.

You can go to About Phone and check the Kernel version, it should say MEOW-Kernel if you have it.

Complete Action Using Phone or Skype or...

Hello friends ! I love this Pacrom ...I have a problem when calling from People or Phone : the 'Complete Action using " window doesn't pop up ...therefore I can't calls via Skype or Viber using People or Phone ; I have this option from Messaging though !

Anybody can help solve or have a tip on howto ? THANKS
[Xperia Z Android Development] paulnorinn:
How do you fix it??? I did the same as you and got no WiFi working. MEOW 0818 over 0820 nightly. Even replace 3 files as suggested and reboot, still not working.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jdjta:
You were on MEOW-kernel 0818 already? You will first have to get back to the old situation (hope you made a backup...?)

Then you can just flash 0820 nightly (+GAPPS if needed, I flash them again every time just to be sure) and reboot to system. If you flasboot kernel again WIFI seems to get broken...
[Xperia Z Android Development] paulnorinn:
I just did but after flashing 0820 nightly again I got cm kernel not MEOW and WiFi is working.

:(
[Xperia Z Android Development] jdjta:
You can try to first flash 0818 custom build (see page 337), then fasboot kernel 0818. After this flash nightly 0820 without flashing kernel.
[Xperia Z Android Development] mjalil:
unfortunately i have revert back to Aug 14 version, the latest one removes all custom features from the rom
[Xperia Z Android Development] pvyParts:
incorrect :P i am gonna go out on a leap and say you run trebuche launcher. you need to remake your settings shortcut. :)

the settings has been modified and that launcher hates it :P it has been fixed for any clean flashes but we cant fix the data already there :)

EDIT also for those who want it there is a fresh nightly on basket build ( CM kernel not meow )

Guys do I need to flash gapps? I am using the stock firmware, updated last from PC companion. Also please tell me a good kernel. I dont know abt governors or all that stuff. Just tell me the most stable one... THANKS!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Bor_NL:
I'm on custom 0818 with meow kernel but if i flash 0820 it will use cm kernel. So no meow kernel even when replacing the wifi files it wont work.

What do you mean with old situation ?

Verstuurd vanaf mijn C6603 met Tapatalk 4
[Xperia Z Android Development] Juzman:
If you just flash newest nightly, it will be CM kernel, not the MEOW kernel.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jdjta:
I'm sorry, didn't see that...so than I either don't have a solution :confused:

By old situation I mean the custom build 0818 with MEOW-kernel and wifi working...
[Xperia Z Android Development] chienline:
If your phone is not rooted or unlocked, then do some googling for that.

And also googling to make "fastboot" works on your PC.

But you are asking about gapps and stable version, so I consider you are ready to flash ;)

Here are the links that works good for me:

MEOW-kernel_v1.0_20130818.img

This kernel is only needed when you come from stock and have no recovery installed yet.

Get your fastboot ready on your PC then type the command :

fastboot flash boot MEOW-kernel_v1.0_20130818.img

If you have Recovery installed then skip this one because Meow Kernel is included in the rom below. And don't forget to backup everything incase something bad happens [data lost/brick].

Get into Recovery. In this rom we have CWM.

Do Nandroid Backup

Wipe Data / Factory Reset

Wipe Cache Partition

Advanced >> Wipe Dalvik Cache

[you need to clean wipe everything when coming from stock to minimize bugs]

Flash pac_yuga_4.3-custom.build_20130818.zip

Flash gapps-jb-20130729.zip

[yes you need to flash gapps because it is different from the stock JB4.2.2 gapps]

Reboot System

Enjoy :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] Bor_NL:
I've fixed the wifi problems with the nightlies and the meow kernel. :D

I'm going try to make a flashable zip otherwise i'll explain how to do it. I'm out for a hour need to go to the supermarket first

[Xperia Z Android Development] goa200:
shouldnt it just be, flash nightly then boot to fastboot then flash meow kernel then reboot?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Bor_NL:
No there are some files that need to be replaced otherwise it won't work.

Working on a flashable zip with the meow kernel and files included that will work on the nightlies. I've tested it on 0821 nightly and it looks like it works.

Need to restore my 0818 custom backup first and update it to 0821 nightly and flash the zip (extra test)

So please hold your horses :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Guantanamo:
I'm disappointed on what I have to think. Four times i report a problem and no one tried to answer. My messages are just ignored. This is definitly my last time i ask about something on this thread. Thanks for igonring attitude.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Bor_NL:
The developer is on vacation so let him have some spare time :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] chienline:
It's not true about "ignoring attitude". I guess it because no one in this thread is using Next Launcher, then you have to wait for the right person or someone who loves experiment on apps. The stock launcher is Trebuchet and many people love using it. The second and third popular might be Apex and Nova. So.. you can't blame nobody in this thread for no answer to your question :)

Wifi fix Meow kernel with nightlies

I've made a flashable zip that can be flashed over the nightlies.

I did this for myself but it's worth the share so now you can enjoy the nightlies with the meow kernel and working wifi.

The cwm flashable zip contains :

- Meow kernel (thx jeroenqui)

- Necessary wifi files

Install guide :

- Download nighly http://pacman.basketbuild.com/index.php?dir=main/yuga/nightly/

after that download meow_wifi.zip

Dropbox :

http://goo.gl/luB8hq

Google drive :

http://goo.gl/sM2x0t

Install both files in recovery (first the nightly and after that the meow_wifi.zip)

clear cache and dalvik cache

Enjoy ;)

Tested on 0821 nightly i hope it also works on future builds

If you go to Dialer -> Settings and scroll all the way down there's an option for internet calls (how to handle them). Maybe this works?

Hi again, here to report some of my findings after flashing the nightly-yuga0822 with Meow kernel. Been experiencing sudden crashing of google play store and other apps like supersu :confused: it would show "Unfortunately google play store has stopped. Blame Tyler!" and this would happen to a few apps I install. I couldn't restore my apps with Titanium Backup Pro so im stuck with an entirely clean phone at the moment. :confused: wondering if this happen to those with CM kernel? :P

EDITED:

ok, reflashed GAPPS again, seems to be working fine.. but it has kept my phone from entering deep sleep so disabled google contact sync and it worked (not a really big deal). Still couldn't restore my apps and sudden crashing of apps downloaded from play store.. other than that, it's working and I love the current build! if anything else, I might flash back the CM kernel
