I flashed this impressive ROM yesterday. It works great and I don't notice the OC bug, I have checked with System Tuner Pro and Kernel Tuner - the other cores are resting properly like with Doom Kernel v7. The heat development is similar too. I use the same UV and OC settings as I do under stock based ROMs with Doom.

I also froze Performance Control according to earlier recommendation in the thread.

Everything seems stable and the power consumption is low. The only problem I have is with Directory Bind. I have tried different paths to the internal disk (according to the paths I can see with the file managers) and it seems like it is unable to map the directories. On the other hand, since the camera can save to the microSDXC, the problem is partly averted in my case but it would be nice to get it up and running.

The question is: what is the Directory Bind path to the internal SD card?

/storage/emulated/0/ - /sdcard0/ or /storage/sdcard0/ fails. /sdcard is accepted but isn't properly binded, the games still want to download data.

Another thing I have noticed, which is a Google thing is the need to use Secure Settings in order for Tasker to enable Airplane Mode in a task.

To me, the ROM runs flawlessly and I am really impressed with the customization options. I used Paranoid Android on my Note N7000 back in the days but PAC is totally superior. The new Paranoid settings is great.

So keep up the good work. I am pleased with the sound quality (Power AMP) and the camera too when I tried them. I was a bit worried about the sound but not anymore, it just sounds great with that player.

My only question is: has anyone tried to use this CM ported version of Sony Album/Walkman?

i'm installing it this moment... but the progress bar in TWRP dont go further for almost 10 minutes? is that ok?
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
If you have an old version of TWRP it's normal.

If it's stuck, just reboot and flash again.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Faelz:
i have the dual recovery v2.4.

how can i reboot? power button + volume up key?

on android 4.2.2 i think directorybind does not work and you need FolderMount app from Google Play
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Just fastboot flash the boot.img from the kernel. Then enter recovery by pressing power and then repeatedtly pressing volume up.

After that, flash the rom again.

Yes, go to settings, apps, and search for the app you want. Click on it, and select the checkbox to blacklist the app for HALO.
[Xperia Z Android Development] EmeraldTimer:
Doing this the app just will not appear on the statusbar oh HALO wil not recognize the app at all?
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
It will still appear in statusbar, but HALO will ignore it.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Faelz:
I'm on 307, is there any problem?

i'm leaving to work, when i come back i'll try again. The room looks awesome!

Just to confirm and dont make anything wrong again.

I'm on 307 stock, bootloader unlocked, rooted and with dual recovery v2.4.

I have to install boot.img from the zip via fastboot, after that i boot into recovery and install the zip file, correct?

do i need to install gapps? thank you.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Yes, correct. And yes, you have to flash gapps too.
[Xperia Z Android Development] E90 Commie:
Thanks for the tip, I will check FolderMount. I uninstalled DirectoryBind when I noticed that it failed regardless of paths to the internal disk.
[Xperia Z Android Development] hudsonhicks:
Can someone convince me to install this mod? I'm very close to but i need that little bit of encourgament.

I'm currently on 307 unbloated stock, duel recovery, boot unlocked.

Hows the battery life? is it noticeably faster? Any bugs?

Is the benchmark score any better?
[Xperia Z Android Development] mgprime.havoc:
Help. My phone easily heats up and the battery drain is too much compared to stuck. I love this rom and I would like to use it as a daily driver.
[Xperia Z Android Development] E90 Commie:
I think you have a rogue app. I flashed this ROM yesterday and it offers decent battery life and I have not calibrated anything yet. No heating problem either, the temperature is similar to what I had on Doom Kernel v7 and ROMAur or Monxdified.

Check the battery stats and see what is draining. Better battery life can be obtained through Greenify and DS Battery Saver, on stock ROM I used the first and the Stamina mode for the latter.

---------- Post added at 12:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ----------

I have not tried any benchmarks but my impression of the ROM is this:

1. The battery life is approximately as stock, provided that undervolt, Greenify and DS Battery Saver (to get Stamina mode back) is used. That is my impression at the moment.

2. My device seems to be smoother with PAC but not a big difference. I was pleased with the smoothness under stock too. There are other reports stating that CM10.1 is smoother but I have not tried that route myself. I think it is very smooth.

3. I have not noticed any bugs right now, it works very well and is stable. The different AOKP/CM10.1/PA settings etc works great. It is really a daily driver.

Personally, I would recommend a switch but it depends on priorities. To me, this ROM wins hands down since I regard the PA settings alone to be a huge usability improvement (I prefer the dual pane tablet mode). It is also a very light ROM and to me, the camera is good when I have tried it. The sound quality with PowerAMP is very good too, in my opinion (tried with Grado PS1000) better than Walkman even with the PureXAudio mod. I was positively surprised by the audio.

To me, the difference in daily use is not very big since I have a carefully crafted setup (Nova Launcher Prime, EX Dialer, QuickPic and F-Stop, PowerAMP etc) and that makes it much easier to leave stock behind. If there is a desire to get some stock features back, there are an Advanced Xperia Z Launcher and ported versions of Walkman/Album available. So it is possible to get a "Sony feeling" if preferred.

On the other hand, Sony is pretty close to vanilla Android already so the step between their stock ROM and AOSP/CM/AOKP/PA is much shorter than with a Samsung for example.

So I recommend this ROM warmly. I am very impressed by it.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Thank you, that's a nice review!
[Xperia Z Android Development] _DX_:
Same here. It irritates me because Tasker needs to have a persistent notification for it to run reliably.

Trying to keep Tasker running in the background without a notification now until Halo gets a fix for this ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Zethmir:
It is because the whitelist blacklist system is a joke right now.

adb reconises it tho.

i've tried the sdk drivers, ive installed the flashtool drivers etc.

[Xperia Z Android Development] E90 Commie:
I just flashed a different version of Album and Movies, both of them works great.

It is a nice way of getting a bit of Sony stock feeling for those that miss those apps (and therefore feel a bit apprehensive about switching to PAC).

Did as i told but on TWRP it doesnt show any files and say internal Storage is 0mb

Edit:

After some restarts TWRP now "see" the files.

I installed the zip, gapps and reboot. The PAC man screen shows up and the phone shuts down.

After that i can only power up it pressing power button and volume up key.

Can't enter flashmode, the light just blinks green and goes off. Flashtool dont recognize the phone.

I can enter in fastboot mode but when i tried to flash a new kernel it doesn't detect the phone either...

some help pls :/
[Xperia Z Android Development] jamesbra:
Can you be more specific? It seems to be working fine for me

---------- Post added at 01:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 AM ----------

Have you tried letting the phone sit for 10ish minutes before rebooting it after the screen goes dark? There is a boot ani bug that makes it look like the phone shuts off while it's booting but it's really just a black screen
[Xperia Z Android Development] Faelz:
yep. Just flashed the rom again and waitted 15 minutes... nothing happens

[Xperia Z Android Development] Bor_NL:
I'm eager to try this rom but would it possible to flash this through cm10.1 recovery with a factory reset ? Or do i really need to flash the boot.img ?

[Xperia Z Android Development] Michealtbh:
You're doing a factory reset and wiping system before flashing, right?
[Xperia Z Android Development] tanoxxx:
Sometimes I get random reboot :confused:
[Xperia Z Android Development] Faelz:
i did a full wipe, shut the phone down, flashed boot.img from the zip, entered recovery.

first time it only "saw" the folders, no files, after some reboots its recognized the files, so i flashed the zip and happened what i mention before...
[Xperia Z Android Development] sacredsoul:
Me too. And after the boot, everything is slow and laggy till I reboot again.
[Xperia Z Android Development] paulnorinn:
Exactly as mine...
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
If you come from CM10.1 the flashing trough recovery is enough. With full wipe of course.

Did you flash gapps too?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Faelz:
yep. forgot to mention gapps :)

i wanna install it again but i'm scared of getting the same problem :/

I'm quite happy with this ROM, and will probably keep it as a daily runner.

I've only encountered one bug but that might be app specific.

When browsing the web (boat browser) and i use HALO to check a Wechat message from a friend, i cannot exit from the HALO'd wechat box by clicking back, it just returns so i have to press home and start all over again.

Think im getting slightly worse batterly life than stock ROM. I'm using ondemand governer.

This update shouldn't have random reboot. If it does, it's probably caused by apps or wrong undervoltage/overclock settings done by the user.

3- I'm comming from 307, rooted, unlocked bootloader, just put it on internal memory, full wipe and install right?
