P A C man ALL IN 1

Description

After months of work, the long awaited PACman 4.2 rom is ready for public released. This is still work in progress WIP and there are many missing parts. Though the rom is rock stable for average users. We are working on it daily to fill the missing parts.

Now what is PACman? The idea was to remove the need for a hunt of rom and cure flasholicsm by providing everything xda has in rom development in a single bloat free rock stable rom. This is the FIRST rom of its kind with a hybrid framework consisting on cm10.1, AOKP and AOSPA. What makes PACman unique is this perfect blend of all of these. Be informed PACman is not a "git cherry-pick blahblah yeee i am a dev donatezzz me" rom. It took a LOT of work of thinking behind to merge the frameworks in the right order.

P A C man FAQ​

PIE FAQ

Q. What is PIE?

A. PIE is a new way to interact with your notifications. It provides easy gesture based interaction with all your system information without taking up valuable screen space. PIE is what you see in this image.

Q. How do I access Pie?

A. Swipe your finger from the pie gravity edge (default is the bottom) toward the center of your screen. While keeping your finger on the screen, drag your finger to the desired button and release to click.

Q. My PIE doesn't look like the ones in the screenshots. I don't see the Clock or notifications.

A. Notifications work either through the status bar or PIE. If the status bar is enabled, PIE reverts to just the softkeys. To enable the full PIE experience, enable Expanded Desktop by going to Settings -> System -> Power Menu -> Expanded Desktop (Status bar hidden). Access the power menu and turn Expanded Desktop on.

Q. How do I change PIE colors?

A. Go to Settings -> Hybrid Properties -> Interface and change the Navigation bar color.

Q. Buttons or keyboard rows near the edge of my screen are nonresponsive.

A. PIE's trigger area overlay is covering the edge of your screen. Change either the Trigger Area or Pie Gravity in Settings -> System -> PIE Settings.

Q. I don't like PIE, how do I turn it off?

A. To disable PIE set Trigger Area to None in Settings -> System -> Pie Settings. Remember to disable Expanded Desktop to turn status bar on again.

ROM FAQ

Q.Do I need to do a full wipe before installing this ROM?

A. Unless coming from a previous version of PACman it is highly recommended to do a full wipe before installing. This includes coming from ParanoidAndroid ROMs.

Q.What do the settings in Hybrid Properties do?

A. ParanoidAndroid has an extensive guide to the settings at this thread: [GUIDE][PARANOIDANDROID] A Complete Compendium on ParanoidPreferences [PA-Settings] Please do not post questions related to PA Settings in this thread, they are not ROM specific and all we'll do is point you to that thread.

Q.How do I turn on the Navigation Bar??

A.To enable the NavBar open Hybrid Properties, swipe the screen to the right to peek through to the menu.

Select Interface, now set your desired NavBar size with the slider.

Q.Something isn't working. What do I do?

A. First, make sure you are running the latest stable version. Try a backup data using Titanium and do a full wipe reinstall. If the problem persists, report what it is and what triggers it so the dev can duplicate it.

Q.Can we flash this on Locked Bootloader?

A. No, This requires custom kernel and can never be flashed on locked bootloaders

but.. but... it already has the paranoid :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
P.A.C has all the features of paranoid, PLUS cyanogenmod and aokp features.

Nice work OP. Exciting to see the development kickstarting so quick!!
[Sony Xperia ZL] anirudh412:
Exactly! PAC - Paranoidandroid Aokp Cyanogenmod

The best of all three worlds.

Anyone know of an app to remove the nav bar ONLY in the lock screen?
[Sony Xperia ZL] shivindera:
Just AWESOME!!! Thanks OP... Hope you keep updating the ROM :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] widezu69:
Anxiously awaiting camera fix. Fix the camera and I will buy this phone and install this ROM the day I get it. Good work!
[Sony Xperia ZL] anirudh412:
Buy the phone now and use this ROM :D Camera fix will come in time:good:
[Sony Xperia ZL] sturmtruppler:
Yes, that's right! Camera needs to be fixed by fxp-team, think they are missing the drivers for 4.2. When the announced update is released by sony it will cpme quick I think. :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] apascual89:
Yep, they are working on it to see if they can find a workaround before Sony releases the update. You can follow their progress on the cm-10.1 on the Xperia Z thread.
[Sony Xperia ZL] apascual89:
This was posted by Entropy512 tonight :

"So, camera as of right now (I'm calling it a night at this point...)

It now starts up. Preview works, still pictures work.

However a bunch of issues remain:

Video recording does not work

Flash does not work

Preview freezes after taking a picture until you exit and enter cam app or switch between front/back cams

Camera icon does not appear in launcher (but you can access cam from lockscreen)

Still quite a bit to go, but it's significant progress."

Awesome to see the legends at work!
[Sony Xperia ZL] sirsmokey:
Damn sweet ROM thanks for the share and to all devs involved. Loving the slice of pie on my ZL. :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] Mr. Droid:
Does work with locked boot loader
[Sony Xperia ZL] apascual89:
No,this will not work on a locked bootloader. Unlocked bootloader is required to flash the custom kernel.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ihsan123:
when it stable for daily use,i will void my waranty and use it as my daily driver :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] apascual89:
I've been using it as a daily driver for four or five days. The only make bug is the camera.
[Sony Xperia ZL] lilviet93:
One nooby question....so I can't install this without unlocked bootloader? Even I have rooted and gave the locked bootloader cmw?
[Sony Xperia ZL] apascual89:
Nope sorry. You need unlocked bootloader

[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
I don't think it's been mentioned, but I've experienced issues with the screen freezing when switching between landscape and portrait views while, for instance, watching a YouTube video. It seems to happen when I switch between the two views. The screen will freeze, rendering touches useless, as well as physical button presses. Audio will continue to play, but the only option is to use the yellow reset button underneath the flap at the back reboot the device. It doesn't happen every time, but its been fairly frequent. Anyway, other than that and the already known speakerphone issue, it's been rock solid.
[Sony Xperia ZL] jug6ernaut:
Never had that issue personally, what hw version do you have?

Only issue I've had is system ui crashing and not restarting. Only happened twice tho.
[Sony Xperia ZL] apascual89:
Ok guys, I've been very busy at work and as you can tell I don't have that much time for builds lately. There are two options.

1 we go with CWM recovery and I add the device to the building, which in theory should give you close to nightly builds.

2 we stick with twrp and I can commit to 1 build per week. If I'm out of town it something then the build won't happen.

Let me know what you guys think
[Sony Xperia ZL] jug6ernaut:
Could you elaborate on option 1?

Ether way i personally am happy with w/e.
[Sony Xperia ZL] apascual89:
Sure, we set up a build bot in a server that builds on a nightly or semi nightly basis, depending on device popularity and number if downloads. The only thing is, it has to build from cm device trees to minimize errors. I currently have it building with twrp recovery. To do that I forked the device tree and modified it.

Cm comes with cwm recovery. So you would have to redo your backups
[Sony Xperia ZL] jug6ernaut:
Ah, well ether way is fine with me.
[Sony Xperia ZL] TheTofu:
Is there any way we could build it without a recovery? Would that make anything easier?

Coming from a Galaxy Exhibit, I'm still not sure why a recovery is included in the first place, I never had CM roms that did this before.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ZedBR:
hi,

I hope you guys can clarify me some doubts before i acquire my "Brazilian ZL" - Xperia ZQ

Basicly, my doubt is about the compatibility of the roms of ZL and ZQ, brecause the only diference between them is the different frequecies supported.

Is there any problem in flash ZL roms on ZQ ?

ZL

GSM 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS 850/900/1700/1900/2100, LTE 700/850/1700/1900/2100

ZQ

GSM 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS 900/1900/2100, LTE 2500
[Sony Xperia ZL] jug6ernaut:
As far as I know no. The recovery is combined with the kernel, which you obviously need lol. So you have to include it sadly.

How can I open Navigation Bar Widgets. I have already configured few widgets in settings but how to open them up?

Thx
[Sony Xperia ZL] TheTofu:
You need to add a custom button to your navbar.

Select button in ROM Control > Custom App > AOKP Actions > Widgets Toggle
[Sony Xperia ZL] bdd786:
Thanks
[Sony Xperia ZL] TheTofu:
Does anybody know why recents seems to be broken if you're not in tablet ui mode? Whenever i use it apps will show up for a second before disappearing. It's not closing the apps or anything they just refuse to show.

On a side note, battery life seems pretty good so far, if I'm not using it I can get about 14-17 hours before hitting 50%(but that's with only like 10-20 minutes of screen on time), otherwise I'm usually able to make it all day + extra with normal usage.

Is Wi-Fi working correctly? I can connect to my home wifi but I can't browse the web, not even the play store. I don't know if somebody has the same problem. :crying:
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
Are you connecting to a guest network?

Xperiance ZL
[Sony Xperia ZL] xkeita:
I connected to my own network with router but ... it doesn't seem to work. I can do the main setup and even sign in with the google account but after that it won't let me browse the internet & other apps that require internet.

Edit: On Play Store I get a No connection error, on browser a Couldn't establish a secure connection.
[Sony Xperia ZL] TheTofu:
I would redownload the ROM zip and flash it again(don't have to wipe) and see if maybe you just got a corrupted wifi driver.

Wifi's been working peachy for me, although the antennae does seem to be a tad weak. Kind of annoying since it reduces my range but oh well, there'll be an LTE tower nearby soon enough(I hope).
[Sony Xperia ZL] xkeita:
I tried with the one in the first page (2013-05-24) and the nightly from 20130-05-30 and i have the same problem with both. :crying:
[Sony Xperia ZL] TheTofu:
Hm, I would try flashing stock 253 and seeing if that works, if it does then try PACMan again, I used to get similar issues on my last phone and sometimes just flashing to stock and back would fix it. If it doesn't work then try rebooting your router and checking the settings on it.
[Sony Xperia ZL] R4GE199:
The same thing is happening to me even on stock rom (1.253) :(
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
Get the phone checked. Could be hardware.

Xperiance ZL
[Sony Xperia ZL] R4GE199:
Fixed it!! just kept using the phone with wifi turned on for some time and it automatically fixed :D

Thanks. I was about to check on that and was restoring to my backup. It looks good:

I flashed the boot.img with fastboot and tried to flash the zip file in TWRP and CWRM and both failed. The build.product and product.device properties in my build.prop file look correct. I don't know why it wasn't working. I did a wipe before flashing the zip.
[Sony Xperia ZL] jug6ernaut:
meh, idky its not flashing. You could just edit out the assert in the install script in the zip.
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
It's weird! I did, I removed the assert, zipped it up, and the flash just fails without an error. It says flashing, then aborted. I zipped it up using finder on a Mac, maybe that screwed it up.

Thanks for the replies. I'll try again after the restore with the original file. I wanted to make sure the build.prop had not been modified.
[Sony Xperia ZL] jug6ernaut:
Finder should be fine, its just a zip. I would redownload a fresh copy, maybe the file is corrupt, or did you check the md5?
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
I did, I checked the md5 and it matched. I just tried it again after the restore. Flashed the boot.img but this time I didn't get the PACMan boot screen, I got the sony screen. The first time I flashed boot.img I got the pacman boot screen.

The MD5s match, even on the sdcard:

md5 odin_PAC_JB_4.2.2-v22.3.0_20130524-211120.zip

MD5 (odin_PAC_JB_4.2.2-v22.3.0_20130524-211120.zip) = 5c223683204b3fec63ce5433dd1f787a

But I got the same prop error in TWRP. I installed ReVolt and that worked without a problem. Tried to flash pacman on top of that and I get the same error.

I tried removing the assert lines and I just get

Installing update...

Installation aborted...

I'm starting with 1.253 rooted using NUT's method and have XZDualRecovery.
[Sony Xperia ZL] jug6ernaut:
You shouldnt be using that recovery, that recovery is meant for ZL's with a locked bootloader, you should be using one of the recoveries for unlocked bootloader, ether CWM or the TWRP. Boot into fastboot, flash recovery, reboot recovery, wipe everything, flash rom from sd card.
[Sony Xperia ZL] apascual89:
Here's the link to the nightlies folder

I thought I had changed the op.
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
Ah! That did it. Thank you.
[Sony Xperia ZL] jug6ernaut:
AWESOME :D

Very nice :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
Sweet! Thanks! Is there a changelog? I see the speakerphone is working now. I also see Halo is included in the latest nightly (June 13)

When running the Google setup wizard, not having the navigation buttons is a little annoying. I have 2 step verification turned on and I can't see the verification code in the status bar like I usually can on regular roms, and I can't task switch to the messaging app to see it. I have to use a backup code and then I get the navigation buttons.
[Sony Xperia ZL] jug6ernaut:
Use an application specific code, not backup.

For this rom there are a few bugs unknown if they are ZL specific. Brightness control is all jacked up. Also impossible to install 3rd party apks, install button just doesnt do anything lol.
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
The backup code works. If I was able to see my text messages I wouldn't need one. It's easier to type 6 digits than the app specific codes :P No big deal, just something I noticed.

I saw the brightness control is jacked up. I also noticed the latest nightly does not seem to be rooted properly. Titanium backup can't gain root even though the su binary is there.

Is this ROM being built for the Z and then just ported to the ZL?
[Sony Xperia ZL] jug6ernaut:
root is fine for me? For the ZL for sure lol.
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
haha ok good!

Hmm on the latest nightly? I wonder why mine wasn't working. I also was unable to get into TWRP. I usually hold the volume down button after the phone vibrates on boot, but with PAC it doesn't vibrate. I can get into CWM by rebooting into recovery from the ROM. Looks like my dual recovery is still in there, maybe I need to set TWRM as my main recovery.
[Sony Xperia ZL] jug6ernaut:
I would not use the dual recovery, it is meant for locked bootloaders, it will not work correctly with an unlocked bootloader. PACman rom has CWM as cm kernel is built with it. You can flash TWRP recovery but it will be replaced whenever you reflash PAC or CM.
[Sony Xperia ZL] jug6ernaut:
I lied, root is jacked up. Su denies all requests. Not sure why. I had said it worked bc it granted Su to titanium backup, which can still is su, but I can't get anything else to now lol.
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
haha! My titanium backup was unable to get root. Glad to know I'm not the only one.
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
I see a June 15 build is now up. Downloading now.
[Sony Xperia ZL] devilsshadow:
The root issue seemed to be present in the N7000 version of PAC as well. At least it's not device specific then! Always a good thing if you ask me.
[Sony Xperia ZL] jug6ernaut:
Flash the zip here for root.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
[Sony Xperia ZL] devilsshadow:
Hah, appreciate the suggestion even tho I don't actually have an XZL yet. I'll be getting one in the coming weeks and have been stalking these forums preemptively :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
Root is broken on the June 15th build too, but flashing the superSU zip fixes it.

Now, how do I change the status bar and notification drawer to the stock JB way? I might get used to the way it's set up in this ROM but it's odd and I keep hitting the wrong thing when trying to do the home button :P
[Sony Xperia ZL] apascual89:
Root access is fixed in next build.

For standard ui. Go to Settings/Hybrid Properties/Stock Ui
[Sony Xperia ZL] shivindera:
That's gud to hear :)

Thought I had screwed up something
[Sony Xperia ZL] jug6ernaut:
Not sure if it is a known issue but the backlight controller and backlight level code is all messed up.

Backlight range only changes from about 70-100%. the 0-70% causes no change in backlight level.

When backlight is set to auto all kinds of bad things happens,

1. no actual control of backlight

2. Network goes in and out

3. System eventually crashes.

Edit:

There was a commit on the 16th that looks like it might have addressed this in part, in the least it has to do with the light sensor. http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/44281/

Will test and new nightly to see if it fixes the issue.
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
I just installed the June 19th build and the brightness control is still a little wonky. The bottom half of the control do nothing, but as you get close to the high end, you can see changes. I've set the brightness to manual for now since I doubt it would be able to control it properly. Maybe using Lux would help.

I also noticed that changing the PA settings to Stock now does the right thing. On the first nightly I installed, I lost the nav bar at the bottom completely. I always forget to export my Titanium Backup from my stock ROM's /data partition before wiping so I can never restore my PAC properly. By the time I go back to my stock CWM backup I end up staying there haha. Maybe I'll spend the time migrating properly to give this some real usage time.
[Sony Xperia ZL] devilsshadow:
Is the auto-brightness still wonky on this? Is this a PAC specific problem or does it persist over to CM10.1 or AOKP?
[Sony Xperia ZL] jug6ernaut:
Is still broken, even on cm nightlies.
[Sony Xperia ZL] devilsshadow:
So then it's device specific. Goddamnit I hate device specific bugs.
