Maybe this will help with the bootloop problem.

I occasionally get random reboots. About once a day. It'll just go the the PAC screen and then Pac man is loading screen and boots normally. However, once I'm in everything is really choppy. Made sure I was still running 1.5ghz. Only way to solve it was to reboot the phone and then its back to being blazing fast.

No idea if it'll help. Just sharing my experience.

Hi Delacor

I don't know how to flash a kernel without ODIN or recovery mode... I am used to SGS devices, so have always flashed with Odin or by pressing power/volume up, finding a zip file, installing...

Do I go to fastflash mode and enter some command there?

tx
[Xperia Z Android Development] Delacor:
Yes what you already said, fastboot mode and "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Then you should be fine entering cwm/twrp. If you dont know about fastboot Read through the kernel Post from doomlord how to flash kernel and what Do you need for it :thumbup:

[Xperia Z Android Development] fredphoesh:
It would be helpful if you told me what to do. I have spent about 6 hours trying to do some very basic things and have not succeeded.

What command do I enter?

Once I flash a new kernel, what buttons do I press to get to recovery mode? I have tried power/vol up&down, but dont see where I would be able to do a factory reset.

tx

I spoke too early lol. Got some random reboots like twice or thrice . Once I was talking on the phone when the phone rebooted and another one when I was listening to streaming radio. But lucky not stuck in boot loop.

Got another reboot. This time I was listening to music using earpiece. After a few minutes listening , I pressed on the power button to wake the phone up but it didn't woke up but instead rebooted.

Does this fix the issue with some Z/ZL getting the blackscreen boot? (I recently had to switch roms because of this. I had a backup of my initial install and it worked fine but if I flashed back to the newer version it just would boot to a black screen.)
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
It's not fixed as you can read in my previous post. Just let it boot for a few minutes and it will boot in a few minutes.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Zethmir:
That isn't the case here - 25 minutes to boot and it stayed black on my drive from work to home. I understand the animation issue - but this is not an animation issue. I literally have a back up of the same rom only 2 or 3 days earlier and it boots fine - if I restore the most up to date one it just black screens.

[Xperia Z Android Development] Fasty12:
Still laggy

jeroenqui all the stock google based rom all still quite laggy compared to rom on say the nexus 4. Considering that they are basically the same processor what is preventing the xperia z from being as smooth as the nexus 4?
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
I have compiled a build with Halo included. Didn't have the time to test it yet, but it should be fine! Get ready for the first halo experience on this device!

All credits to the PA team for their amazing work in developing this!

[Xperia Z Android Development] fredphoesh:
Cool, thanks, actually I think what ive now subsequently read, is when the power light goes pink, then press UP (only once is necessary) and you get there...

cheers

Mark.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
I agree. But I'm sure this will improve over the time. Don't forget this device is still pretty new, and not a nexus device. I'm already impressed by how far the CM/FXP team got in such short time!

By the way, HALO is awesomeness! It sure needs some improvements, but it's already great!
[Xperia Z Android Development] joejoe23:
Carbon rom is super smooth and fast but pac has more customization.

Sent from my Xperia Z
[Xperia Z Android Development] sacredsoul:
Welcome Halo, I've been expecting you.

Initial impressions; basic functionality is present. Halo works as it's supposed to in all apps I've tried. Do not forget to install the Halo app from the Play store so you can also launch apps from Halo.

The only problem with Halo is that there's a slight .5sec to 1sec delay present for some apps. This is just nitpicking as I'm sure the code will be optimized further in the future.

All in all, an excellent addition to Android.

Thanks PA, PAC Team and of course, jeroenqui!

EDIT : One thing to note, since Halo is essentially a filter on top of your screen, you can't install APKs manually till you disable Halo. Nothing wrong with Halo itself. It's a 'security' feature implemented by Google. You can't install apps when you have night filters that dim your screen too.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Hellscythe:
I install apps all the time with "screen filter" app enabled on my CM10.1 :S

EDIT: NEVERMIND LOL,

I came here to ask the same question...

I've installed this ROM, and after a few tweaks (like disabling animation) it runs very fast.

I'm using PIE right now, and I want to hide the notification bar just to see how Halo works when I don't have the notification bar.

Nice, how is your custom kernel on battery life? I had to go back to the stock builds for the meantime because I was only getting about 3-3.5hrs screen on max on the CM builds. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary either in BBS and what not. What's your experience been?
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Almost uploaded guys, 95%, sorry, it failed and i just restarted upload.

The kernel is not custom, it's the same as CM, but then with all the latest fixes untill today.

Did i read that right? Boot.img doesn't need to be flashed anymore? Coming from any Rom?
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
You only need to do it the first time, if you come from another rom. No need to do it every update. I will update the instructions in the OP to make it more clear.

2. How is the battery life? Compared to sony stock firmware.. is better or worse or the same?

Yea man, those guys are amazing. If we have camera, there are no major bugs left in cm10.1. It's amazing how fast they got all things working. The user base is still small. I hope it will grow a lot and people will be smart to not fall for the new HTC / Samsung toys.

Also, I really like this rom building stuff, so I'm going to try to make this the most awesome rom for our device!

But to be realistic and give proper credits : without the CM work, this rom would have been nowhere! Hats off to them.

Ur totally right i dumped my s3 for this amazing Z and CM and ur great work its gonna be awesome!

but unfortunately too much bug, for example i have graph bug on call Log (folishness).. but this but gor me the serious bug is the external speaker dont work during the call (i means in call).. and after that also the internal speaker stop to work i must to reebot :( and often my phone go crazy, dont make call and i must to reboot :(

It even lets you record via bluetooth.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Zethmir:
I believe the way Halo works is by reading the notifications in the notification bar - so if your hiding them you won't see them in halo.
