Mine reboots when i try to lock the screen using tasker task for system lock, not every time but once out of 100 locks.

But thats still 2-3 reboots a day. Any solution ?

Also long press back to kill app or any long press controls don't work in tablet ui, anyone know why ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
edit: alright, wipe everything thru advanced options in TWRP recovery. hopefully the auto reboot issues will be gone now.. :)

will report back in a day or in a few hours!
[Xperia Z Android Development] redThd:
Where is the setting to enable the long press back to kill button? Can't find it :|

I dont think yr 'solution' will fix the random reboots, because i think i done that before.. (If we're on the same understanding of wiping everything)

[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
:-O well then i guess i'll have to live with the auto reboot for now..

but so far no issues as of yet..

hopefully it wont happen. i wiped my internal SD as well..

Small apps For 0726 Compilation

Hello guys here my first mod for Xperia Z :D

If anyone wants

small apps from sony

donwload this two zips & then do this : 8 ( sorry but , I have problems with size of attachements )

open both of files ( with 7z winzip , winrar .... )

& copy from "Framework-res.zip" framework-res.apk file in smallapp_pac0726/system/framework/

then flash this Zip in cwm/twpr & wipe dalvik/cache after flash ;) - Hope this works ;)

for launch small apps need Small app Launcher from play sore

--------> View attachment framework-res.zip ------------> View attachment SmallApp_PAC0726.zip

I have tried almost all the small apps in the play store ( 80% working ;) )

this modify : android.policy.jar - framework.jar - framework-res.apk

Screenshots:

Edit : ----> sony small apps Web browser -----> View attachment com.sonymobile.smallbrowser.apk -------> install as normal app

Anyone have System UI crashes? It happens suddenly and doesn't stop till a reboot.
[Xperia Z Android Development] gregland:
Whaou!!!

Greatest !!!!! :good::good:

No reboot for the moment!
[Xperia Z Android Development] liliha:
Yeah I get these fairly often, doesn't seem to be correlated to anything in particular .. Sit tight till 4.3 I say =)
[Xperia Z Android Development] guokeong:
i get the SystemUI crashes once in a while too. But no random reboot so far on the latest build.

For those getting random reboot, maybe you can revisit your UV settings?
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
may i know how to access the UV settings? thank you :)

so far i've performed an advanced full wipe.. so far no reboot issues as of now..

try to see if my music files are the culprit..

didnt play music since the reflash.. no reboots so far.. will test if it will auto reboot once i start playing some music..

(but then again its weird because it didnt happen on the stock sony rom. :S )

maybe AOSP is a little different. hmm.
[Xperia Z Android Development] guokeong:
I mean revisit the Under Volting setting to see if you have set it too agressively. If you do not know where to access the settings, most likely you have not made any changes to the default. Hence, will not be the cause of the issue :laugh:
[Xperia Z Android Development] BoneMo:
alarm rage

on many versions upto the newest....i have from time to time a System UI crash when switching from manual to auto-backlight or without a reason......but i can live with it---- but this System UI crash also KILLS the alarm clock sometimes and i have to change the alarm clock time from eg. 8.00 to 8.02 but today it didnt ring at all......anyone has some tip for the System UI+Alarm clock not ringing bug ??
[Xperia Z Android Development] kaefert:
For me the latest versions have all been quite stable, but I had a really eye-opening experience yesterday.

I wanted to try to shoot a 3D Clip myself and since this is supposed to work best if you have 2 identical cameras I took the two Xperia Z (my own and the one of my girlfriend) and built a rudimentary mount for both to film in the correct distance to each other. But after the first tests, I was amazed by the quality difference between stock-rom and this AOSP-based PAC ROM here.

The Stock-ROM camera is so far supperior to the one we have in this ROM, I couldn't believe that this issue has ever been brought up. The Stock-ROM cam:

-) is quicker (has less lag)

-) has much less noise

-) has much less internal picture wobbling (noticed none, but with mine its incredibly bad when you move the camera)

-) is not disturbed nearly as much by back light that shines into the camera

Does nobody who uses AOSP-based ROMs use the camera, did nobody compare the quality ever before, or did I do something wrong here?
[Xperia Z Android Development] roninabc:
Hi Jeroen, keep up the great work. I will be back in a couple of weeks when I get my new Z. Miss it already. Waterdamage.....:( For now I am on a SP. And yes I know the Z is not waterproof :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] liliha:
Yes I too have noticed the difference in quality ... I'm a photographer by trade and the noise of the camera without software reduction from the stock camera/rom is quite severe sadly. I don't know if this can be solved with a simple camera port or some part of the stock rom/kernel is managing the post noise reduction? I can see why Sony were so aggressive with the noise reduction initially when the Z came out, this camera as-is is pretty bad in anything other than perfect lighting
[Xperia Z Android Development] MiniDemonic:
I have noticed this aswell, hopefully the 4.3 camera focal fixes this, until then if camera is important you should use a stock-rom. I myself don't use the camera that much so I prefer this rom.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Karim Kahale:
I noticed that the stock soft keys disappeared, how can I restore them.
[Xperia Z Android Development] MiniDemonic:
Go to quick settings and deactivate Pie.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Delacor:
Can someone try to call with headphones? My GF just tried it and its working... :confused:
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
check the first post, its stated as a known bug. :)

He said it was working...
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
opps, missed that..my bad. :S
[Xperia Z Android Development] tanoxxx:
Hi great Jeroen,

How are you? I hope all ok..

How go the work on 4.3?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ram11:
I was on stock firmware 10.3.1.A.0.244. Rooted, unlocked bootloader and installed this rom.

Doesn't look like the ROM as mentioned in the OP. No Halo, no pie, just looks like CM 10.1.

Now the touchscreen is not responsive even after rebooting the phone.:angel:

Any suggestions please?
[Xperia Z Android Development] secondkai:
I think u just flash the wrong rom..where did u download it? That's like official fxp cm...
[Xperia Z Android Development] ram11:
Yeah, just now figured out that I did. Stupid me. So what shall I do. Redo the same steps again after downloading the correct rom?

extract the boot.img from the package.

put boot.img in your fastboot directory.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

Enter TWRP recovery.

Factory reset. Full wipe, format cache and dalvik cache.

Flash zip + gapps ?

is that correct?
[Xperia Z Android Development] secondkai:
Do this if u want a clean install..

Just reboot to recovery..

Wipe data/factory reset..

Wipe cache..

Wipe dalvik..

Format system..

Flash PACrom/Gapps..

Reboot...

Done!
[Xperia Z Android Development] ram11:
Installed it, thank you..but now struggling with "trebuchet has stopped" error....it has been a long day so far!!!
[Xperia Z Android Development] lhurtado:
Just install any other launcher. you can download nova launcher (http://novalauncher.com/beta/) and then install it from computer (adb install xx.apk)
[Xperia Z Android Development] guokeong:
or as suggested by jeroenqui, you can also choose to replace the Trebuchet.apk in /system/app with this version:http://d-h.st/brA
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Hi all. A quick status update again. We're almost there. Only a few little major bugs left. You all can expect to have 4.3 based PAC on your devices this week.

So, hang in there just a little bit longer. Your waiting will end soon. Thank you all for your patience.
[Xperia Z Android Development] MiniDemonic:
When will the donators get to beta test it?
[Xperia Z Android Development] thalada:
When it is ready :p
[Xperia Z Android Development] MiniDemonic:
Well obviously :P

But he gave us an estimate for the public release, just curious for the donator beta release ^^
[Xperia Z Android Development] thalada:
You can expect by this week.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ram11:
Hi installed this rom, but couldnt install apps from Play store, so decided to flash it again, but when I try to go into my CM recovery, it goes into TWRP. Is this the same as CM recovery?
[Xperia Z Android Development] tanoxxx:
Is another recovery..but it is good to use.. For someone is better than CWM.. don't worry about that..Use it :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
This rom comes with TWRP, and it overwrites the current recovery on flash, as the recovery is included in the kernel.

TWRP is better compared to CWM.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ram11:
Dont worry. I flashed it

but just worried if my nandroid backup of the stock rom is there.
[Xperia Z Android Development] MiniDemonic:
If you created your backup in CWM you will need CWM to restore it, but it should still be there.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ram11:
Thanks. But I cant find CWM on my phone...When I try to get into recovery I can only see TWRP. How to get it back?:(
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Finally getting there! No more major FC's anymore!

Phone and Tablet mode work fine.

Also, the new CM camera Focal works great :)

There is one nasty bug in Phablet mode which I still need to fix, and a problem with the root binary.

When that's done, I'll send out the first version to the beta testers (donators).

Expect a mail from me tomorrow. :)

Few days later I will release the public version.

Cheers!
[Xperia Z Android Development] MiniDemonic:
If you ever need CWM again you will need to either flash a rom that provides CWM or just flash CWM.
[Xperia Z Android Development] CarloIT:
Anxious waiting that mail Jeroen , that's really great !

does anyone know how to remove the navigation bar and only keep pie settings?

thank you
[Xperia Z Android Development] bluefa1con:
Settings, system, power menu, extended desktop, choose if you want to keep status bar when pie enabled
[Xperia Z Android Development] liliha:
Anyone know if we can flash the stock Z camera on this rom?
[Xperia Z Android Development] thalada:
Nope, it won't work as it relays on Sony's frame work.
[Xperia Z Android Development] liliha:
Thanks for that, i feared as much ... Camera quality matters to me for the time being, so im stuck in a loop of flasing stock based roms and pac =) almost need something like a multiboot rom setup
[Xperia Z Android Development] thalada:
Take a backup & flash this, you won't be disappointed. If you don't like, you can revert to stock ROM.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ground-zero:
In the next release the new camera focal will be included, maybe this camera gets a little bit closer to the image quality from the stock camera, so maybe there will be no need for you to switch the roms :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ram11:
Hi, does anyone tell me how to remove a secondary gmail account from this.

The normal steps are Settings > Accounts or Settings > Accounts > Google, then Menu > Remove account. But I cant find the Menu or Remove account option.

I mean I have two gmail accounts and i want to remove the second one.
[Xperia Z Android Development] MiniDemonic:
You need to select the account that you want to remove first.

Settings > Accounts > Google > the account you want to remove > menu > Remove Account
[Xperia Z Android Development] ram11:
I did, but there is no menu option or remove account option. :(

---------- Post added at 10:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------

Anyone please
[Xperia Z Android Development] CHUPACAPRA71:
Select the account linke he said, then 3 little dots should appear in the right top corner. Athen remove account.
[Xperia Z Android Development] MiniDemonic:
imgur.com/u6UrkEf

That's a screenshot of it, the Remove Account button is there in the menu.

If you can't access the menu then you should activate Pie and use the menu button in it, I noticed that the Navigation Bar doesn't always provide the menu button when it is needed.

If you don't get the menu button on the navigation bar and you can't find any 3 dots then you could either do as I said first, activate Pie or you could go into the rom settings and force the menu button to always be visible in the navigation bar.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ram11:
You are awesome. Thanks so much. First I did activate Pie. Anyways, now made the menu button visible. :o
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
i guess the menu button is missing

1. Settings -> Rom Control -> Navigation bar

2. Choose any of the buttons -> Long press -> make it as "Menu"

3. upon long pressing in the Remove accounts area, the menu should pop up..

OR

1. Settings - >Rom Control -> General UI -> Enable the 3 dots menu -> Reboot

see if it'll show.

When my battery is around from 30 to 35%, the phone gets shut down when I use it.

I installed this rom just yesterday and it has happened thrice already. When I put it on charging, then it shows 1% battery. Can anyone suggest a remedy or I am doing something wrong?

I know it takes 3 to 4 days to calibrate the battery but the phone getting shut down at 35% is not good..:(
[Xperia Z Android Development] joejoe23:
It's the battery bug I think.

Sent from my C6603
[Xperia Z Android Development] ram11:
is there a way to get rid of it?
[Xperia Z Android Development] MiniDemonic:
Probably the battery bug most XZ users have, I haven't experienced a shut down at 30% tho.
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
try batterycalibration from Playstore.

Charge your phone to 100% and then delete battery states with this app.

Use your phone till 1-3% are left and fully recharge.

Then it should be okay.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ram11:
Thanks...will try it out...
[Xperia Z Android Development] MiniDemonic:
Deleting battery stats doesn't do anything to improve the battery.
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
That`s right! It doesn`t improve the battery, it only gives the battery the chance to calibrate the right values and show the correct percentage.

And that was asked before, or did I get something wrong!?

This should be done everytime after flashing a new Rom.
[Xperia Z Android Development] MiniDemonic:
No it does not, deleting the battery stats doesn't do anything.

Battery stats only shows you that X app has used X% battery and the screen has been on for X amount of time.

[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
I had that too the first time. Reboot and try again and it will work.
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
I am using this for ages and I never had the 30% bug or something similiar.

And why is the wiping option also included in CWM and TWRP if it is useless!?

But that`s enough of spaming this thread now. Everybody can handle this as he want`s! :highfive:

Let`s start with the new 4.3 and see how it goes!

Thx a lot Jeroen for your hard work getting this running for us! :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] MiniDemonic:
I have never had a 30% bug either, but I have encountered a battery bug, but that is a problem with XZ in general.

Also if you read the post I linked you then you would know that the batterystats.bin gets reset everytime you charge your phone too around 100% and then disconnects it from the charger.

TWRP doesn't have the wipe battery stats function afaik and recent CWM releases has removed it aswell.

I don't know if the battery bug can be fixed by someone else than Sony but hopefully it can and is fixed in 4.3, guess I will have to do some tests on this the following days.
[Xperia Z Android Development] tomqman:
rebooted 5 times and still no luck :(

wiped and reflashed aswell
[Xperia Z Android Development] goa200:
got it, Thx!!

however i cant for the life of me change from phablet to phone-layout. it always reverts back to phablet
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Miracast SHOULD be working. I didn't test it myself though.

MHL doesn't work, as far as i know, as HDMI is currently broken. It will be fixed in the future by CM, I hope.

I have updated the OP with all the bugs combined. Please tell me if I'm missing something.

Will probably do a new build tomorrow.
[Xperia Z Android Development] MadCobbler:
Just got this phone and just had to try a fellow PACman team members rom... It really is good

[Xperia Z Android Development] MadCobbler:
Of course my friend, I was planning on compiling myself some different roms for it anyway, if I find anything I will definitely let you know :D

Looking forward to the coming update. Im running the latest Codeworkx build as i had a not so smooth experience with latest PAC. Dont get me wrong i have always enjoyed the smoothness of PAC, but with the latest i just couldnt get it. Had lots of lag and studder on latest. I fully wiped before install and i started over 3 times but couldnt get it to be as smooth as the build before. But as no one else has reported theese problems i guess its just a problem at my end. Will most definetly give the coming update a try when its released.

Thank you OP for bringing us this great rom

[Xperia Z Android Development] danielherrero:
This ROM is nice. Most of the bugs are gone. Good job¡¡¡¡
[Xperia Z Android Development] nickwarn:
I think the lag i had on last update was an issue only i had. But this latest behaves very smooth and fast. Feels good to be able to set app dpi and dress my system after my liking.

Thank you OP and PAC team
[Xperia Z Android Development] Jonster111:
Hi there.

Just installed the Rom and I am very impressed about the smoothness :D

Everything runs fast and up to now everything I tried worked.

I will report If there are important features that are missing or not working.

It would be helpful to ad a tutorial to the OP, for changing the in-app size.

Keep up your good work :good:

Kernel

What other Kernel than the standard can be used for this ROM ? Thanks
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
At the moment only the included kernel and the CM kernel (but they're basically the same)

We all wait for other dev's to build custom kernels, especially DoomLord

Hey all, I am on 434 Firmware - can't seen to get root via all the various methods (exploits). I know I have to unlock bootloader before I can flash this ROM, so can someone tell me - is rooting any easier after BL unlocking? I know I am slightly off topic but all of it is for this ROM.

Yes, rooting is a bit easier then unlocking. Jus follow the instructions in this thread:

no need to flash anything. go into developer options then root access check apps and adb.

cant restore any apps via titanium. not sure why
