Hey man, sad to see you go.. Anyways, enjoy your new phone.. I won't be getting a G2 unfortunately for you.

Xperia Z1 (or some newer model if it comes soon) or Nexus 5 will be a better option..
[Xperia Z Android Development] Traxx67:
Hello all,

i try this rom for the first time, i have never change my sony rom.

I have just one question, is there any solution to change the navbar height and can i get more navbar icon?

Thk you for your help.
[Xperia Z Android Development] sacredsoul:
I wanted to go Z1 too but the camera seems to be a disappointment. Sony really needs to get their imaging fixed. And waiting for the Nexus 5 would be the smart option but I can't wait haha. Anyway, best of luck for all your future endeavors.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jdjta:
After using nightly 1005, 1006 and 1007 with MEOW-kernel (1004) I went back to the latest custom build because I feel the nightlies drain my battery in comparison with the latest custom build. Especially when I'm on wifi the custom build seems much more energy efficient (0,5-1% vs 3-4%).

I also experience less drain using the screen in the custom build (I can use it almost twice as long). Anybody else having the same 'issue'?

I'm really hoping the custom builds will stay :good:!
[Xperia Z Android Development] freemsk1:
I have the opposite, nightly 0908 seems to be the most energy efficient for me
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Custom builds will stay.. I will do them once or twice a week and when something awesome is added so it's worth a build :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] jdjta:
Are you using MEOW-kernel? And if so, what version?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Hellscythe:
are you jumping aboard for the note 3? ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] sacredsoul:
No, I hate $amsung with passion. :laugh:

Getting the LG G2. Setup with AOSP/CM 10.2, that'd be the phone to beat.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Hellscythe:
ive always had a thing for LG phones, they look amazing, nice hardware and everything

but on xda, the G, G pro etc havent seen much development, :S

EDIT: nvm, development in the G forums definitely has picked up since the last time i checkd
[Xperia Z Android Development] sacredsoul:
Having used the Optimus G2X (As I remember, the first dualcore phone), though their hardware maybe amazing, their support leaves a lot to be desired. I don't even remember a single time they actually updated the software. And the plastic of the G2 was quite a turn off but the bezels, oh man, that was a turn on :laugh:

Yea, the G2 already has some dev going on so I'm being optimistic. Sony is one of the best still when it comes to after sales support regarding to software updates.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Hellscythe:
all the best man, have fun with your g2! :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] sacredsoul:
Thanks mate! :laugh:
[Xperia Z Android Development] themude:
i have a starnge bug i guess...the phone wakes itself :( in my pocket....actually double tapping the screen wakes up the phone...can anyone tell me how to turn off this function or its a real bug?? my phone hangs and do stuffs itself in my pocket...plz help me to turn this stupid function off...i cant find any function to switch this off...its really a pain in my ass...
[Xperia Z Android Development] lhurtado:
Install trickster Mod, then go to specific, wake control and disable it.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jdjta:
It's a feature that's implemented in MEOW-kernel. You can turn it of using TricksterMOD (

Playstore link)

Go to Specific > Screen Wake Control to turn it off
[Xperia Z Android Development] themude:
thanx a lot bro...it fixed the issue :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] FakeSmile:
Im on 0916 custom build.I made the settings i want and now i want to update to latest custom build.Can i do it without deleting my settings? And can i use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2302748 on the latest build?
[Xperia Z Android Development] rustybathtub:
You can backup settings using titaniumbackup then restore it after flashing the latest nightly. And yes that mod is compatible, am using it right now.
[Xperia Z Android Development] FakeSmile:
Do i need full wipe to flash latest custom build?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Crys1s:
I got this flickering issue solved on the latest custom whenI changed it from trickster mod and development options. Options seems to reset after rebooting. Also, it takes about 2-5 secs to wake up after being in standby mode, is there something somewhere where you can adjust the wake-speed?
[Xperia Z Android Development] SleeperService:
Hi, I was using 0726 (old build I know) for a long time. If you recall, that was the one that didn't have the recovery, so it had to be flashed separately. I downloaded 0921 and extracted the recovery from that and flashed it. There was a brief hitch when the phone seemingly lost it's IMEI (and hence all connectivity), but I factory reset from recovery and flashed 0921. The phone is fine now, but I'm getting a bug where when I pull it on and off the charging dock (the official model), the phone restarts quickly. This happens quite frequently, although not every time. It has very occasionally happened when closing or opening a certain app, particularly the camera app.

Uh...watdo?
[Xperia Z Android Development] rustybathtub:
Just to be sure you get a bug free flash, you could full wipe, and dont forget to flash the latest gapps

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

Did you enable apply on boot on trickstermod?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Crys1s:
Yeah, i forgot it, thanks! How about that wake-time? Any ideas?
[Xperia Z Android Development] 6961785:
It's an amazing ROM but the only problem I am facing is that the battery is draining too fast..

Anything I can do about it?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Yom:
NavBar/Notification Bar take a LOOONG time to appear

Hi all,

I am having the damnedest problem: My nav bar and notification bar take a LOOONG time to appear on boot, meaning that I cannot control the phone until the nav bar appears. This also happens when SystemUI has to be restarted for any reason (changing resolutions or notification settings, for example)I have attached the logcat generated while SustemUI was attempting to start after a Paranoid resolution change. I can see SystemUI is crashing, however I cannot tell why.

[MENTION=220332]Jeroen[/MENTION], can you please take a peek at my logcat? This issue is driving me bat**** ;)

has anyone seen this before?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Crys1s:
I got the same issue, after wiping dalvik/cache it disappeared.
[Xperia Z Android Development] webfreak1364:
Hey,

how to deactivate the double-tap screen-on?

it seems to drain my battery really fast.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
No it doesn't drain your battery, but you can disable it with Trickster Mod app.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Crys1s:
Yeah, battery drain is bad...
[Xperia Z Android Development] Yom:
Thanks, dude. Wiping caches does nothing for me. Still takes forever for the damn bars to appear after a reboot or whenever the SustemUI service is restarted. Damn.
[Xperia Z Android Development] webfreak1364:
i think the screen gets activated when its in my pocket, because since 0410 my battery drain is really high. even with uv
[Xperia Z Android Development] freemsk1:
Please read last two pages, and not only the last post. It've been discussed several times, Trickster Mod should solve your issue. By the way, S2W and DT2W were implemented prior to 0410 ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] TricE:
is there a posibility to install the honami camera app or the original sony camera app on the pac rom?
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
No! They only work on Sony framework.

Try the Lenovo cam. It's working great!

Gesendet von meinem C6603 mit Tapatalk 4
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Guys, I got the Xperia Z1 (honami) today..

But no worries, I will still support PAC-rom and MEOW-kernel for the yuga as I'm keeping both devices for now..

Also, my colleague has the Z too, so when I decide to sell it some time, I can always use his device for testing out stuff :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Pondy:
Hi, just wondering if anyone has reported soft reboots after ending a call over Bluetooth? I did a quick search and couldnt see anything obvious. I'm running the 1004 custom with MEOW. It only reboots if I end the call, not if the person on the other end ends the call. It seems to be pretty consistent.

Other than that, this ROM is great.

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 AM ----------

Which version did you try? I just installed 3.5.5 and I get FCs.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Crys1s:
Is it possible to dirty-flash the latest nightly over custom 1004 without any issues?
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
I use this one from Rizal Lovins

Lenovo Cam Zip
[Xperia Z Android Development] 6961785:
Can't extract the file...
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
It`s a flashable ZIP with libs included ! ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] 6961785:
So I just have to flash it from recovery??

No settings reset is needed right????
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
Yes, just flash via recovery and it should work!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Novek:
I'm a heavy BT-phone user, but have had no problems with reboots etc. I'm running the nightly kernel.

------

A different topic - screen flickering - I've never had these after switched over to using PIE on extended mode, no navbar. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Crys1s:
Yeah, this wake-up speed from standby-mode is slow and really starts annoying me. Any tips to speed up the wake-up process? Im currently using the latest nightly.
[Xperia Z Android Development] freemsk1:
Nope, on stock kernel. Anyway, now on the latest custom, trying to sort things out :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] TricE:
i have just flashed in recovery, it says successfull but therr is no app installed when i reboot the phone. what am i doing wong
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
Hm. thats strange. The apk is included in the zip and get`s flashed to system\app

But I had installed it already before I flashed rizal`s zip the first time, mabye that`s the trick!?

Then try to unpack the zip, go to system/app extract the apk and install it manually.

That should work I guess!
[Xperia Z Android Development] freemsk1:
By the way, disabling S2W and DT2W dosen't solve multitouch issue (lockscreen freeze) for me on the lastest custom release. I've seen earlier in the thread that raising the lower margin of cpu frequency should do the trick, maybe I might give it a try
[Xperia Z Android Development] jdjta:
Another kernel can make a difference.

The custom builds with MEOW-kernel seem to work more refind than nightlies with MEOW. Noob-assumption: I think replacing the kernel afterwards (like you do with nightlies) makes it less 'integrated' or maybe some settings are not applied?

At least that's my personal experience. I'll be patiently waiting for the next CB :D

PS. Will 4.3.1 changes be merged into the ROM?
[Xperia Z Android Development] achih121:
No nightly version for 3 days.....

I am so boring....:(:(:(
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
2morrow I will release a new custom build which is based on android 4.3.1.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ianrobbie:
Hi. Any joy with this? I'm on Mokee's ROM (based on CM 10.2) and having the same issue. Does altering the lower CPU frequency work?

A bit off-topic, I know but I'm desperate!

Also, is this ROM stable enough to use as a daily driver?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Crys1s:
Yes, it stable to everyday use. I have used different variants of this ROM for 3 months now.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ianrobbie:
I went ahead and installed it anyway. Very impressed so far. Only problem I've had is sometimes it takes a long time to quit settings. Aside from that, fantastic ROM!

Is there any way to change the Navbar to a smaller size? Couldn't find the option in Settings.
[Xperia Z Android Development] muddasir121:
yes follow this settings >pacman settings>open hybrid properties-slide it right there will be an option of interface click it here u can change the size of statusbar and navigation bar
[Xperia Z Android Development] ianrobbie:
Perfect. Thanks!
[Xperia Z Android Development] FakeSmile:
Im on latest custom biuld 1004.When the new one 4.3.1 comes out can i dirty flash it or i have to wipe/factory reset?
[Xperia Z Android Development] muddasir121:
u just need to wipe cache and delvic cache
[Xperia Z Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
I agree. I'm running latest nightly completely standard and have no issues at all.

[Xperia Z Android Development] pklein:
Hey PACUsers..

I am experiencing top speaker issues during calls.

Phone silences pretty often. Can't tell if other person can hear me while happening. Noticed on the latest nightlies. Using standard kernel without sound mods. Pretty annoying.. One with same prob?

Operator: VF Germany

Cheers,

Patrick
[Xperia Z Android Development] wesely:
The most of installed apps aren't working. Always FC messages. I'm using PAC rom for 3 months and never had this problem before, but since ~09.21 build I have. I did a full wipe and tried the stock rom, there wasn't any problem so I installed back the 10.04 pac build, but still FC messages everywhere. Please help! Thanks.

Sorry for my poor English.
[Xperia Z Android Development] xIceCream:
kinda weird for you to have this problem.

here's some suggestion:

reset to factory, flash rom, wipe cache and dalv, flash gapps, reset to factory in rec again, and wipe dalv. ( orders are important !!)

or.. use titanium back up, back up all those apps u want, then after the above instructions, go to playstore and reinstall them, then use TB to restore the data..

Hope it helps you, i hate force closing too :( :eek:
[Xperia Z Android Development] Crys1s:
Is anybody else encountering random reboots on latest nightly & kernel?
[Xperia Z Android Development] wesely:
Thanks, I did everything on 4th october when i reinstalled the rom, but still FC :( I'll try it once more if nobody's got a better idea.
[Xperia Z Android Development] muddasir121:
which recovery are u using
[Xperia Z Android Development] FakeSmile:
What hapened with the new custom build?
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
It will be uploaded in a few hours
[Xperia Z Android Development] xIceCream:
random reboot, maybe once in a week or 2 weeks. Try to restart your phone every few days to have a *clean* phone.

I noticed that after using extensively for a few days wihtout reboot, free ram available are very very low, around 500mb, even tho I have nothing open.

Maybe thats the reason your phone reboot itself?
[Xperia Z Android Development] vincyi269:
I do get random reboots if I overclock it to 1.8ghz, that's why I set it at 1.7 at boot
[Xperia Z Android Development] aashgaur:
eagerly waiting for the new build .. thankyou jeroen for all the updates !!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Crys1s:
Yeah that's must be it because I have currently about 750mb free ram after reboot.
[Xperia Z Android Development] FakeSmile:
How can i install custom fonts?
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer
[Xperia Z Android Development] ianrobbie:
There's an app on the Google Play store called Font Installer. Works perfectly (just tried it).
[Xperia Z Android Development] diabole:
Also tried it once :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] FakeSmile:
The app have fonts in it or i need to download them manually?
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
You can download them inside the app..
[Xperia Z Android Development] ianrobbie:
Quick question. When the new Custom build drops, can I just dirty install it over 1004? Do I just have to wipe Dalvik?

Nice release Jeroen!

With 4.3.1 does this mean I need new gapps zip?

Or can I use the 4.3 gapps?

I'm still on 0916 build and it's been almost a month ago that I've flashed something hehe.

Dirty flash should be fine with only wipe cache and dalvik...I guess :p
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Yes, dirty flash is enough.

No, you can just dirty flash it.. Don't need to flash GAPPS afterwards..

But to answer your question, you don't need new GAPPS for this. The 4.3 GAPPS are compatible.
[Xperia Z Android Development] vincyi269:
oh my, I find myself having a lot of fun with Gesture anywhere feature :laugh: :good: although 1.8ghz messes up my phone badly ..I still kept it at 1.7ghz.. I have no complains!
[Xperia Z Android Development] diabole:
I have system ui crash constantly with the new custom :( Any idea's what can be wrong?
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
It's the same for me. Can't do anything.

System ui crashes the whole time so I went back to last build. Don't know how to solve it!?

But the new meow kernel is superb. Great work Jeroen!

[Xperia Z Android Development] diabole:
Same here. Kernel works but not the rom :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
I guess it's something with PA settings, but I don't know how to solve it, when I am unable to do anything!? Has anyone a solution for this?

Btw. Why is recovery so slow since the last build?

It takes double of the time for backup / restore then before!

But the screen flickering is fixed! Great job! :)

weird, not a single fc in my device! after an hour use already.. :confused: although I get reboots at 1.8ghz. no other problems.. I find it strange that some of our devices do not the respond the same way, even on the same rom

Please check the mobile website of telegraaf, where your latest kernel and latest nightly still have this flickering issue. Running phablet mode. Default browser

[Xperia Z Android Development] vincyi269:
Phablet. All on default, have you tried resetting it?
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
I have different settings for apps , but most is running in 360 dpi.

I can't reset, because you can't do anything, because of the ongoing fc's.

Will try to reset settings and reflash the new build again. But this is for tomorrow, have to go to bed now! Will report back if it works.

[Xperia Z Android Development] diabole:
I have everything phablet 360 dpi. I have even tried phone mode, without success. I'll tried, it didn't help :( went back to previous custom + today's kernel until we find a solution.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
I thought about this, but can't seem to find a reason.

There is one thing you could try.. Flash the ROM again (no wipe), then flash GAPPS (these: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip)

Reboot (don't wipe cache/dalvik)
[Xperia Z Android Development] diabole:
Ok i will try
[Xperia Z Android Development] zomer331:
For the 1st time I've flash the newest custombuild I get a bootloop, just like a kernel isn't flashed yet, then I have to flash a recovery by fastboot and on the 2nd flash I flash ROM + kernel separately and now everything is okey.

Have someone problem with that?
[Xperia Z Android Development] diabole:
I didn't help :(

WiFi Tether

Hi, I've just flashed this ROM successfully and all works except for WiFi Tethering.

I tried searching this thread but to no avail. When I click on the checkbox to enable WiFi Tethering, it gives out an "Error" in the status.

I did a full wipe before installing this ROM. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

EDIT: so ive tried everything. Full wipe etc and still cant get wifi tethering to work. I reflashed stock .67 rom and wifi tethering is back. Is there a step im missing? Coming from the stock rom i flash pac rom through nut's dual recovery specifically cwm. Inside recovery i do a full wipe. Install rom install gapps reboot. Any step im missing?
[Xperia Z Android Development] MattJaO3D:
I have no FC'S? All good so far
[Xperia Z Android Development] Groovecain:
is pac had setting to make status or navigation bar transparent ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] lhurtado:
Yes, you can use per app color and set them transparent for your launcher.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Groovecain:
woah, thanks man , not realize that configuration is in per app setting :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] chienline:
My Wifi Tethering is working good. Dirty flash on top of 10.04 without any problem.

Status bar Brightness Control needs to re-apply (untick and tick) after reboot to make it works (which happen on previous builds too, I'm just too late to post it) but it works flawlessly anyway :)

Other than that is kernel issue, I'll post in Meow kernel thread.

It is the pocket detection (getting better; less wake without intention) and touchScreen-goes-mad issue :D

edit: I mean it still happen in 10.04 custom build and now on latest build 10.13 so far so good and I'm keeping my eyes on these issues :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] devehman:
No settings

Hi, I just flashed the newest ROM on my phone and everything works except for one thing.

Some apps don't have the setting options in them anymore, such as Poweramp and Reddit is fun. Is there a hidden setting I'm missing?

[Xperia Z Android Development] Crys1s:
