Paranoid Android Dual Recovery

Hello,

As your recovery wasn't working I have fixed it for PA users. The attached kernel incudes DoomLord's dualrecovery, all credits to him, I simply ported it over to this kernel. Default recovery has been changed from cwm to twrp. Flash in recovery right after flashing paranoid android or pa-gapps.

On boot a purple led will show up and there will be a vibration. Press volume down and the indicator will go orange and you will boot into TWRP. same goes voor CWM, except you use the volume up button for cwm.

Hope this helps :angel:

Edit: If you have already flashed the Paranoid Rom and want to install this recovery, here is a quick tutorial.

1: Set up ADB and Fastboot (if you have unlocked your bootloader you already have this)

2: Download the attached zip and extract the boot.img to c:\

3: Completely turn off your phone and get it into Fastboot mode (blue LED) by pressing the volume up button while connecting the usb cable. Don't press any other buttons.

4: On your computer, open the command prompt and type in:

Your phone will now reboot and you will have the Dual Recovery.

I take it this should work with any AOSP rom?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Osyx:
You would be flashing the kernel of this rom and therefore things may, or may not, go wrong/give you more bugs than normally. But that depends on the kernel code really, so yes.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Moody:
it *should* indeed, I have tested this kernel on PAC as well. Not tested on FXP, but I think it should work just fine.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Wagyk:
hello,

this rom have phone active and working??

thanks.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] nickwarn:
Didnt work for me, i couldnt make calls. When making a call i just get a message saying something like "not availabale in this region". I live in Sweden and it seems to work for other users in other regions. Had the same issue on the builds. Hope OP can get it fixed, I wasnt home when i tried it so i couldnt get logcat, no computer with ADB setup nearby.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Osyx:
I do too live in Sweden and this ROM doesn't work but PAC does. Kind of weird...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Moody:
Everything working fine for me. Try flashing just the baseband again using flashtool.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] musz:
Just wondering this ROM was active on dev or theres no solution .. :(
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] dcx3:
Hi Devs is this rom likely to get updated soon? can't wait to get back on PA!

Great to know you're still active, eagerly awaiting halo :victory:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] xzzz9097:
New build uploaded in preparation for Halo release: performance should be better as ROM is now built with linaro string routines, gcc 4.7 and strict aliasing; I've merged all latest PA changes from their github.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] nickwarn:
Thank you OP, been waiting for this. Has there been anything done to adress the call not working bug for some?

Downloading right now
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] nickwarn:
This works like a charm. Calls is finally working. Setting up my accounts and apps, will report after further testing

Hi, if you have the time could you write a small tutorial on building pa for yuga please? I have been trying without success. Even the manifest and other build files changes should be enough.

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Unlocer:
Nice rom overall but I found two things that are annoying a bit ;)

1. The rom is sometimes a bit laggy, not that bad but its a bit weird for a flagship device :silly:

2. There is a bug in the camera.apk. When I enable the power button as camera button and I take a picture the phone goes in sleep state.

Font size all over the map

Hello guys

Day 1 with XperiaZ, this rom was my first choice because I have used paranoidandroid on SGS3...

It seems nice, but for the font sizes. They seem very inconsistent.

Contacts and contact edit fonts are tiny, and some widgets are huge. Apps in app drawer are normal.

I've only found one font size setting in settings, and that does not seem to work globally for some reason.

Anyhow, thought I should let you know

tx

Mark.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] xzzz9097:
Links up, it was a dhst issue. SystemUI fix shouldn't be necessary for yuga.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] doctor78SI:
Can some1 tell me witch link is the latest ROM? Cause all the latest has 3.5 in the name while latest PA is 3.6?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jankhner:
^I think the newest version is for PA 3.50 (pa_yuga-3.50-10GIU2013-220519.zip)

I've been playing with it for an hour now, HALO is very nice and I haven't had any problems with this rom!

Thanks!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] doctor78SI:
But the title says PA 3.6 !?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Hellscythe:
hmm, is there any reason why this rom is in alpha? :S

any particular issues? or is it the same issues as CM10.1?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] :
Hey guys, just to make sure before installing and testing this ROM I would like to make sure, there is no way of flashing this through a existing recovery right? Needs to be done through flash tool?

---------- Post added at 09:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------

Asking this because I'm always flashing and testing ROMs on the go, since I'm never really home so don't have my PC accessible that easy, lol.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jankhner:
I flashed this from the recovery (i used carbon rom earlier and did a full wipe)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Michealtbh:
Flashing through recovery is fine, fastboot isn't necessary
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Moody:
Flash tool is for flashing back to Sony's original, pre-loaded software. To flash custom roms like this one, you have to use a custom recovery, which is included in the boot.img

you can launch the recovery by pressing the volume down button while the Led lights up while booting. To flash this boot.img for the first time (only has to be done once) you are advised to use fastboot. If you really can not access a pc this process can be done from a rooted phone with the boot.img on the internal sdcard, using terminal emulator from Google play and the dd command:

su
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/xxxxxxxx bs=4096
reboot

I still have to figure out what has to replace the xxx's, will update post when I do.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Michealtbh:
If you already have a working recovery though none of this is necessary, the boot.img will be flashed through recovery
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] xzzz9097:
Rom updated: enabled floating windows in the notification shade, just like the first halo draft by PA.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Moody:
I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you mean by this. I thought the button to activate Halo already was in the notification shade, prior to this update?

edit: after searching on your OneX thread I found my answer. Notifications opened from the notification bar also open up in a halo-overlay-window, instead of their default action. Hereby making the halo 'ring' itself optional. Could you possibly make this a switch, as to retain normal functionality when notifications are opened from the notification bar for those who want to?

edit2: saw you already made it optional,

Settings -> Toolbars -> Notification drawer -> Notification shortcuts

This video shows off the new feature added in this 13/06 build:

im having issues installing apk's from SD card, navigate to them with file commander and open with package installer, when get to the permissions screen i cant press the install button only cancel?

does anyone else have same issue or have i fooked something up?

using XZ c6603, did full wipe and installed latest version pa_yuga-3.60-12GIU2013-220333 and nothing else but still wont install apk's
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] xzzz9097:
Remove HALO, install and enable HALO again.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] 3stage:
tbh fella im a bit of a noob haha i understand what your asking me to do but can you give me instructions exactly what i need to do as im not sure exactly where i remove halo from lol, rom is great btw your work is much appreciated
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] xzzz9097:
Double tap on the HALO and drag it to the X at the top of the screen, install your app and then, if you want, re-enable HALO tapping the icon in the notification bar.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Faelz:
sry but how do i erase fastboot cache?

and after i flash boot.img go to recovery and install zip right? thanks!

Last version is pa_endeavoru-3.60-12GIU2013-123548.zip?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] L0cke:
I would have thought it would be this one: pa_yuga-3.60-12GIU2013-220333.zip

endeavoru is the One X I believe.

Dev-Host is also really slow at the moment. Anyone else finding this?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Moody:
You don't have to erase any fastboot cache. If you want to erase cache through fastboot, try

fastboot wipe cache

fastboot erase cache

One of those should work (:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] 3stage:
magic fella, just the job, much appreciated:good:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] L0cke:
Is centre clock available in this ROM? As I can't find an option :confused:

Colour Issues

Hi there!

I'm experiencing the weirdest issue as of ~16 May (nightly CyanogenMod builds).

Basically what is happening is that the colours are overly saturated. I do believe the issue lies within the display drivers themselves as a screenshot looks perfectly normal (viewed on a PC screen, that is). I have tried everything, inclusing several different ROMs and full wipes. Furthermore, it works flawlessly in versions prior to the 16 of May build..

Is there a known issue with the drivers or am I alone in this?

Any response is greatly appreciated!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Zorua:
I believe it has something to do with the kernel which came with the .253 firmware. The changes were probably merged to CM before the 16th May build. I kinda like them though.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] KroonBerg:
Sounds about right. It just doesn't look good to me. Take the settings application, for instance. There's clearly a visible issue with the gradiant there compared to other phones / pre May 16..
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Delacor:
Csn you add UV, fauxSound and fastCharge?

Sent from my Xperia Z
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] xzzz9097:
Are this features in the kernel of the PAC rom? If so, I can simply switch from CM's kernel to that.

By the way, rom updated with more statusbar clock options under Settings > Toolbars (including central clock) and the newest PA changes, like the ability to make floating windows from recent apps screen. Enjoy!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] dcx3:
Is the rom uploaded yet? Can only see the HTC One X uploaded :) Last update was great, loving Halo!

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Jacob_Bentzen:
Didn't think I needed that, but I will try.

But now I'm using [ROM][CM10.1][AOKP][PA with HALO & PIE][OVERCLOCK 1944 MHz] PAC

Then it shouldn't be needed since you already have a custom recovery but since it doesn't work maybe that could help.

I've just uploaded a new app on Play Store. Here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.edge.drawer. It's basically an app drawer with the ability to launch any app in both normal and floating mode. Nicely designed and perfectly integrated with HALO (add it to HALO))) and enjoy a floating drawer!). More features coming soon. Check it out, and consider it as a small donation to the ROM itself.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kiko_1272:
Anyone got an idea as to why the Toolbars section doesn't work.

I tap it and I get "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."

Hey - great work on this port. I'm working on PA for the Xperia T and everything works on it except there is a bug where sending a call causes the ril system to crash. Reading your changelog it seems that you fixed this earlier on - possibly something related to Linaro optimizations?

Thanks for any reply.

Hey I would really like to help however I am unsure how exactly to log the error.

I got the app, ran it and went to the Toolbar option so it crashes however the log doesn't seem to show anything?

If you do then you can replace Settings.apk.

Since we have TA-Backup it is no Problem to unlock your bootloader and get the original state back (BE2, ...)

Just create an TA Partition Backup before unlock and check via checksum (MD5)

A Recovery of TA- Partition will relock your Bootloader and bring back your DRM Keys for BE2, ... Just be sure to have a Stock ROM flashed. Recovering your TA-Partition will brick other Custom/AOSP ROM's
