Nice release Jeroen!

Gonna charge my phone now to flash the latest custom build.

Oh and from custom build to custom build do you need to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before flashing? Or just only wipe cache and dalvik? Do you also need to wipe cache and dalvik after flashing? Srry if I'm acting paranoid...I always flashed it in that order on my samsung. But the Xperia is kinda different ;)

Thanks again!
[Xperia Z Android Development] LKNim:
You need to wipe nothing;)

No dirty flash is OK

But you just flash everytime the gapps

Any solution ?

I need it desperately to get Viper4android working.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jdjta:
Never used busybox but a quick search for 'busybox android 4.3' gave me a link to a different version than the one google play store comes up with by default: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitcubate.root.busybox.complete&hl=en . Hope this solves your problem?

Venky,

Can you pass me the supersu zip so I can update it as well.

Oh and you 're talking about Viper4Android, isn't that an equalizer? But the pac has a built-in equalizer. What's wrong with that one?
[Xperia Z Android Development] venky716:
I don't have the zip, but just install SuperSu app from play store and select flash via twrp. Phone will reboot and it'll flash the zip.

Yes there is DSP manager, the default equalizer.

But you have to try v4a it is just awesome, with the right settings the audio quality is improved exponentially.

Anyone else having problem with the battery!?

I used a lot of other apps over the day, but they are not listed?

[Xperia Z Android Development] vincyi269:
wow, does the custom build have that much bugs? :confused: afraid to flash it atm, still on nightly :highfive: random reboots at times
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
Not at all. It runs really smooth and beside some fc in display settings I have no major bugs.

Just try it out and make your own decision!

I had some problems with reconnecting to some routers and they are gone with the new build.

Thx to Jeroen!
[Xperia Z Android Development] [-Amrish-]:
So if I read it like you said....then you soft-bricked your Z. If I'm not wrong the build 0726 must be 4.2.2.

So you jumped from 4.2.2 to 4.3.

unzip the latest build and flash the boot.img from that build with fastboot:

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

If that didn't work, then try this one:

Fastboot flash:raw boot boot.img

If all went well start CWM and wipe data/factory reset. Clear cache and dalvik.

Then flash the custom build + gapps (0813) again.

Let's hope it will work :good:

Hi jeroenqui,

love the ROM, you know already...

very last thing I was checking before using it for my everyday use has been.. doing a call :angel:

is there any workaround for this up to today?

thanks for your work.

I have a couple of questions:

1) Is it possible to flash the latest version without wiping cache (I am on 418). I have CWM 6.0.3 and its gets stuck on wiping cache, it completes it only when I do a factory reset.

2) I recall that on my Nexus 4 (which has the same CPU and RAM etc), the games I played stayed long in memory. I am particularly addicted to Angry Birds, Virtua Tennis and Real Racing - I could easily leave them via home button and even if went back half and hour later, they were still there. On Xperia Z apps close in a flash - the minute I navigate to a web page or even a system app, the game has closed on me. Is it possible to introduce an option to keep one or two apps "frozen" in RAM, regardless of other operations? That would be something really important for many gamers like me.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Hellscythe:
hmm would the game thing be a low memory killer setting?
[Xperia Z Android Development] talhamid:
If you meant minfree setting, mine is set to 80 MB - I imagine out of 2 GB it can't go much lower.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
As per user report from XZ98000, the following bug is also fixed in the 0425 build:

[CM-BUG] When the phone is on the docking station, it can no longer receive voice calls, the phone rings busy for the person who is calling

In contacts, the bottom bar is at the top, its also flawkey on the frequently called menu.
[Xperia Z Android Development] talhamid:
Guys: what are the risks if it is updated without cache wipe?
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
No risk. I never wipe cache on update...
[Xperia Z Android Development] talhamid:
Thanks so much. My CWM 6.0.3 always gets stuck on wipe cache so it is so reassuring to know that PAC can be updated without that.

---------- Post added at 09:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 AM ----------

Also, to bypass this problem, if I turn the phone off and then boot straight into recovery, cache would be clean right? Sorry to bother but its becoming a sore point for me
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
No it won't.

Flashed 0905 custom... and FORGOT to make a Nandroid first! Wow, such a mistake. Constant FCs on android.acore, other random FCs. Oh noes. :(

To flash, I did a complete wipe first, then flashed. Apps that used to work (like Automatic Call Recorder) now just FC on launch.

Am in love with PAC (did a standalone review on it, calling it best ROM for Xperia Z), but flashing a nightly with no nandroid was such a rookie mistake!

Any idea how to fix the FCs on acore?

Which GAPPS did you flash? On a clean flash (with factory reset) and the right GAPPS this shouldn't happen.

Is it possible to use stock baseband with this ROM? Because I tried to flash .244 stockROMs custom Nordic baseband only with flashtool but it didn't changed..
[Xperia Z Android Development] ezuk:
Thank you for the super-fast reply! I followed the instructions on the first post, which say:

Since I came from PAC 4.2.2, I only did a factory reset + full wipe, and did not flash gapps. Another thing I did, which turned out to be a big mistake, is to create an update.zip from Titanium and restore it in recovery. BIG (!) mistake.

What I did to fix this, which seems to have worked:

Downloaded the 0908 nightly (pac_yuga-nightly-20130908.zip)

Downloaded the proper gapps for 4.3 (gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip)

Rebooted to recovery

Did a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik

Flashed the nightly, followed by flashing the gapps

Did NOT flash my Titanium update.zip

Rebooted, manually logged into my Google account

Crazy FCs stopped, things feel much more stable. Now will attempt regular Titanium recovery.

This was my first time trying an update.zip from Titanium... Live and learn, I guess. Thanks again for your support!
[Xperia Z Android Development] ahzhang452:
but I did not flash anything, I just clicked reboot D:
[Xperia Z Android Development] xIceCream:
hahaha, my friend, one silly guy. few days ago, i was trying to install this ROM as well, but didnt flash gapps. I tell myself i would like to try out this rom first before flashing any gapps. so i swtich around cm10.2 roms and test out, then finally come back to this rom, i try to redownload everything and attempt to flash again. once flashed, launcher fc, system ui fc, everything is fc-ing.

I'm thinking, if I followed the steps correct, with other user as well, why hasn't other user report the problems yet?

Then something hit me up, the setup wizard!

and setup wizard comes from gapp! so i give it a final try + flashing gapps together, and guess what?! everything is working fine now. but you're fast enough to figure it yourself. cheers mate!

What did you do that you've soft-bricked your Z?

Better said what did you changed before you pressed on reboot!?
[Xperia Z Android Development] [-Amrish-]:
Ok guys just installed the latest custom build (0905). However why does the device info say RC instead of custom build? Is this a mistake or it is a RC?

So it's true what others say...the theme chooser has a FC issue. Just saying this to confirm it ;)

Ohhh how do I switch off the quick apps in recents? You know the white quick apps on the left when pressing on recents button.

Overall the rom works fine after a dirty flash.

I'll post a new feedback after few days of use.

I'm getting a HUGE battery drain with the latest custom build 0905! I never had this on the previous custom build 0818. My battery last normally more than 24 hours. And now....it's atm 10 hours (47%).

This is giving me a big BIG pain in my eyes!

If this still last after a second charge, then I'm gonna flash back the previous custom build.

Can I perform a dirty flash by downgrading from CB 0905 to CB 0818?

The reason why I want this is because of the huge battery drain on the latest build.

EDIT:

Where is CWM? Each time I try to get into CWM I get TWRP??

Can I perform a dirty flash in TWRP? Or do I need to wipe cache and dalvik before downgrading to build 0818?

TWRP is totally new for me so can somebody please help me,

It's just I'm getting tired about the drain I get on the latest build (already charged it 2nd time).

Hello PACers,

Big thanks to Jeroenqui for the great 0905 CUSTOM!

The ROM works great, but I wonder - is it possible to make PAC work without the gapps package? As it stands now Trebuchet crashes without gapps.

Is this something that's known, or even the way it's meant to be?

The only reason I ask is because I'd like to experiment on PAC without gapps.

[Xperia Z Android Development] [-Amrish-]:
Thanks for the reply. But are you sure that it will work. I mean it's more than 40 pages back (xda app).

And did you flashed it also with the latest custom build?

Look I can't flash things if there is no confirmation with the latest build. Getting in a bootloop is not I want atm because of my work. And I still don't have the answers I wanted.

You can at least try to help me by guiding through twrp. So I can get back to 0818 custom build.
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
If you are firm with CWM then TWRP should be no problem for you,

because in my opinion it`s much easier to handle as CWM.

Just flash the 0818 custom build, wipe cache and dalvik and everything is fine.

If you have some fc`s, especially in Themes engine, you must delete cache and data of these apps.

But I think your battery problem must be something else, because I only had battery drain for the first day.

After that battery is pretty good. Not as good as with 4.2.2 builds, but still okay!
[Xperia Z Android Development] chienline:
Yes, TWRP is much more advance supporting touchscreen interface.

So I guess you want CWM in order to get your previous Nandroid Backup.

In my previous post, click on the post number which I have link to Bor_NL post. Download Meow_Wifi.zip and save it in your ext. sdcard.

Reboot Recovery to enter TWRP.

Choose "Install".

On the upper side you can see " Storage: Internal Storage (size)", touch it and choose "Micro SDCard".

Then you'll see your files in your sdcard. Select meow_wifi.zip

Then "Swipe to Confirm Flash".

Hit the "home" key [bottom left].

Choose Reboot >> Recovery.

Then you will enter CWM for sure :)

I've done it before, when I thought there's a problem with my wifi. But finally I flash back to 0905 when I figure out that the problem was at my router :)

TWRP is newTech, and sometimes I myself find it too complicated to use haha... But it just the matter of practice ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
Yes, the first time I tried TWRP it was a bit different from CWM, but after 1-2 flashes I find it much better and easier then CWM.

He doesn´t need to flash the kernel before. He only need`s to flash the custom build, then he also get`s the kernel and CWM back.
[Xperia Z Android Development] [-Amrish-]:
Ok I flashed the 0818 build + gapps with TWRP (wiped cache and dalvik after flashing) and now It just keep staying in Pac-man Roms .....game over....insert coin mode.

Over and over again. I can enter CWM. Flashed it again with CWM and still getting the pacman Rom bootlogo.

Now do I need to do? Sigh....

EDIT:

I went back to 0905 build. That booted my phone back again. Somehow the 0818 don't want to reboot.

So I guess I have to wait for an another release of the custom build.

Already installed better battery stats to find out what drains my battery.

On the second charge I had a huge drain after using it for 7 min or less. Lost 10 percent within 35 min!!

SO I really don't know what drains my battery that quick. But....I saw something in settings/battery : Android-operating system had a huge run time of 80%

I didn't had that on the 0818 build. That's why I wanted to go back but that build keeps failing to reboot normally.
