[Xperia Z Original Android Development] :
I think its a very good work, but even if you get it bugless PAC will always be preffered for all the features.. but who knows, maybe you make this rom even more awesome!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
I still didn't get it to boot properly. Will give it another try this week. I'm sure it can be solved, I'm debugging and looking at the logs to find the reason.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Lemagex:
This, miui, whichever releases first, will be my daily driver.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
NEWSFLASH: I finally got it to boot properly!!!!!!!

Going to do a few more optimizations and then I'll upload the new build later today!

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Novek:
Will try it! :) I've always liked a cm/miui concept :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
Yea, go for it! I like it too, the themes are amazing. Even though for a daily driver I'm missing some features I use a lot :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Novek:
What features are we talking about? :) Any major bugs detected?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
HALO, PIE and some system modifications from CM/AOKP
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Novek:
Oki, thanks! I'm one of those that don't see the big thing abount PIE nor HALO - yes, it's flashy and stylish, but I don't use my phone as fluid with those :) Maybe I'm getting too old :P
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] sanjazz909:
can one workaround with the original LMT launcher?

i love the pie and would like to try this rom :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Novek:
That one should work...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] ckyy:
Looks interesting. Will try once i have time.

I like this ROM, so far no problems at all and several themes to toy with.

Will it be regularly updated, or is it just a side project to PAC that will only be worked on now and again?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
It will be regularly updated. And if I get accepted as an official devices maintainer it will get nightlies too.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] marjaN_:
can you sync contacts & calender with google?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] ckyy:
Of course. You need the gapps however. I'm not sure if they are included. If not, then get them here : http://goo.im/gapps Choose 4.2.2.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] yaabaa1986:
Is there any way to incorporate this in your PAC rom? Don't want to leave your baby;)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
No, this is a completely different rom
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] theduke89:
Jeroenqui I'm on your PAC ROM, but I'm curious about this other creature...is it ready as a daily driver? Any bug? Battery life? Thanks
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
Yes, this is definately a daily driver! Battery life is about the same as stock rom.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] sanjazz909:
he jeroenqui...

tested the COS... like it! looking fresh and smooth...

but it unfortunately it also has the small stutter/gaps in bluetooth audio (music)

keep up the good work!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] theduke89:
Jeroen this ROM iS AMAZING!! Personally...I prefer this to PAC! In PAC there is too much, and you risk to get lost or make confusion :) And then Chameleon is smooth as hell with amazing theming capabilities...oh and battery life is twice long than PAC...so PLEASE keep this Chaos project alive and updated!!!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
Good to hear man. I will keep this alive of course!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] hoppermi:
Thanks for bringing Chameleon OS to a new device, here is a video I put together highlighting some of what has been added since 0.7 BETA. Enjoy and Thanks again!

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] xIceCream:
So... what chaOS version is this ROM currently?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
Thanks!

0.7
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] xIceCream:
How long does one ChaOS update? One every few weeks?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
I'm waiting for a few new updates to get merged.

After that I'll make a new build.

View the progress here:

http://review.chameleonos.org/#/q/status:open,n,z
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] xIceCream:
Its updated! :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
Expect a new update for ChaOS based on Android 4.3 this week. And its niceeeeeee!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] roel1976:
Just installed this and it looks very good. Can't wait for the 4.3 update!! Thanks for all the work you put into it!!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
Enjoy man! 4.3 update will come soon.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] theminigame:
Just flashed the most recent update. Glad to see some chaos love for this phone.

Was wondering though, anyone using this ROM have issues with nfc?

Wondering if it's just me..
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] roel1976:
Hey Jeroen,

If I wanted to use a different camera app which file do i delete from /system/app - is it just the Galler2.apk or are there related files? I did remove the apk but getting inconsistent FC's en camera just showing a black screen.

Any advice is appreciated!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
Why delete? You can just install another camera app, and set that by default. I wouldn't recommend deleting that .apk
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] roel1976:
OK thanks. it might be just the camera app I am installing that is causing issues then. Will just flash your ROM afresh. Thanks for the quick reply!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] theduke89:
Is 07/08 build already 4.3?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] xIceCream:
No. But his next update will be 4.3, which is coming this weekend I guess :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] roel1976:
Morning Jeroen, any news on when the 4.3 update wil be available? :D
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
I'm doing another testbuild at the moment.. It's not fully ready yet.. Doing my best to fix things ASAP
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] roel1976:
Thanks for the update. Eagerly awaiting it while being very grateful of course for all the work you put in! Good luck! :good:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
Update: finally got it to compile properly.

Package complete: /home/jeroenqui/chaos/out/target/product/yuga/cos-0.8_4.3-20130813-UNOFFICIAL-yuga.zip

Going to test now and see if it boots and works fine.

Will keep you updated
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
I have a few SELINUX troubles but I'm sure I can fix these tomorrow. So hopefully I will be able to release the new build tomorrow. Thanks for your patience.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
Update: It boots fine now. Few more things to test, and then I'll upload it in the coming hour or so.

sorry for my question...

if i have backup with CWM i can restre it with your CWM recovery?

tks a lot
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
In the latest ROM, CWM is not included.

You will have to flash an alternate kernel with CWM included.

Download this: http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=217 and flash it using fastboot flash boot <filename.img>
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Hellscythe:
gonna try chameleon os soon :D

so it is basically CM with really good theming?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
Basically yes, but it has some really good features and options too!

Try it, you won't be disappointed!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] theduke89:
Waiting for a new version with new kernel (and so woth recovery). Hate to play with fastboot, it'a waste of time.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] roel1976:
Jeroen, tried three times to flash it now but run into same problems each time. I flash emergency kernel, factory reset, install ROM and gapps, reboot, then run into these two issues:

- ASOP keyboard doesn't work, keeps popping up with error when you touch text entry field

- lost root

- back button doesn't work anywhere

Any ideas as I cannot use ROM like this and that makes me very sad :crying:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] hoppermi:
Gapps issue. Use our gapps 43_20130807 that are in chameleonos/gapps on goo.im

You need to go into developer options and turn root access off then back on.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
New version will come in 1.5 week, when I'm back from vacation. It will then include TWRP and my custom kernel again.

as hoppermi said, flash those gapps

Thanks for helping out in this thread.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] theduke89:
Any news????
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
I'm on vacation. Will release a new build on Wednesday or Thursday
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] iBotPeaches:
Don't mean to be a douche in the this situation, but we never saw your repos public anywhere and I bought the Xperia Z. So seeing how I'm on the ChaOS Team and owned a yuga. I brought the device in official.

If you want to help maintain it, that would be great, but officially nightlies and what not we will start soon. You can build yuga directly from source now via "brunch yuga".

http://goo.im/devs/ChameleonOS/roms/yuga
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
You just beat me to it, since I came back from vacation today and I was going to bring up the repo's today or tomorrow.

Up to you what you'd like to do.. I'm fine with either choice.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] iBotPeaches:
Yeah, I don't have the time to maintain threads or be a public facing xda user for the ROM due to my time spent on Apktool and other things, but if you utilize our gerrit (http://review.chameleonos.org) to push any of those changes you had, I would be grateful. Then you can continue to manage this thread, changing the name to OFFICIAL and I'll give you some updated images for OP and our special gapps package.

I think that'll work fine, if you like that. Right now I'm chasing a bug where our status bar doesn't stay transparent during scrolling, otherwise it seems to be good.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
Sure, will do that and manage this thread and provide support. I'll wait for your message and update the thread then.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
This ROM looks awesome. The theming features look really great.

I hope to see a stable build soon.

Thanks guys keep it going :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
Nightlies will start soon. I will release a new custom build with my custom MEOW kernel and TWRP included tomorrow.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
Here is a little status update on my custom build.

Having a little trouble still with the recovery. I have no more time today to fix it, but tomorrow I'm sure I will solve this problem and release the new build with TWRP and MEOW-kernel included.

Thanks for your patience.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
Good news. Can't wait to try it!

However I do prefer cwm :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] roel1976:
hoping it gets finished soon. Perhaps even this weekend! :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
New CUSTOM build 0914 uploaded:

Changelog:

- Includes TWRP recovery 2.6.3.0

- Includes MEOW-kernel (underclock to 192MHz, undervolt, more cpu and gpu governors, more i/o schedulers, fast charging, smoothness fixes, etc.)

- All the new kernel fixes / updated WiFi drivers / Sony Sysmonitor (makes the phone less warm)

- All changes from here: http://review.chameleonos.org/#/q/status:merged,n,z uptill change 2360

From the next release I will supply a proper changelog again. For this release it's just too much :)

NOTE: if you're on the previous release (0814) and don't have a recovery, you will have to extract the boot.img from this new release, and flash it using: fastboot flash boot boot.img

After that, reboot to recovery and flash the ROM.

Ii just flashed the rom coming from another RomAur 8.1, is there a reason for dialer to FC? other than that looks really good!

**update - did full wipe, solved!

Good to hear you solved it. Enjoy the rom!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] theminigame:
is music playback over bluetooth an issue with this ROM?

because i can't for the life of me get my music to play through my bluetooth headphones..
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Relkuz:
Did your latest build comes with GAPPS?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
I don't have an headset to test, so I can not reproduce that. Maybe someone else can verify this?

No, this ROM never comes with GAPPS. You have to download it from http://goo.im/gapps (the Android 4.3 one) and flash it after flashing the rom.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Relkuz:
Thank you
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] theminigame:
Bummer, its kind of a deal breaker.. Other than this issue, the ROM is perfect...

Just FYI I did a completely clean install

edit

so i did a fresh reflash of the "official" chaos without flashing gapps and bluetooth stuff worked. i flashed gapps and it stopped working again.. so i think it has something to do with the newest chaos gapps...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] pietrucci:
Whiped cache and dalvic cache, factory set, flashed boot.img, flashed rom+gapps, but always errormessage system.ui stopped and then loop.

Tried three times, always the same problem.

I came from latest monx .244.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] hoppermi:
Have to wipe data coming from any other rom
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] xIceCream:
you have to do a full clean wipe ( system + data + dalv cache and cache ), flash rom, followed by gapps. try that, and the error will be gone automagically.

And I just tried this ROM, it was one hell of a buttery smooth ROM, everything is nice on first boot, very elegance. Has some good implementation from Miui ROM, very sleek and cool! unfortunately, i'll go back to PAC, I just love PAC ROM! thanks OP for both the ROMs!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
:) I know how you feel. I keep switching between both..
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] xxxstar123:

Tried that, even went back to original .434 (up to four times!!), rerooted, tried different cwm's, did all whipes ect. ect., included the right gapps. Always the same error on systemui and bootloop. Spend my entire saturday evening and half of the night...

Well I went back to monx, will try it again in a while.

Thnx for the answers.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
After flashing the ROM + GAPPS, try to remove your external SD card before booting.

It might be something on there that's causing it.

Also, are you using these GAPPS? http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] pietrucci:
Ok, maybe that's the problem, my sd-card. Yes, I used that g-apps.

Will try again later this week...

When it's ready and merged I'll make a new build.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] roel1976:
Hello Jeroen,

Been running ChaOS for two days now. I like it a lot, thanks for all the work! Only 'bug' I can report is that the Recent Apps window has a delay showing and I have had system UI crashes a few times, seemingly random.

But overall very enjoyable (and stable) good ROM! Would recommend to everyone :good:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] tiskewlio:
Does anyone know if the headphones work in call? and if the blutooth issue is fixed yet? Thanks
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] theminigame:
when i was on this ROM and got bluetooth working, yes headphones worked fine in call...

I've noticed that the bluetooth issue is totally random.. I've had it pop up on both the custom and nightly version of this ROM and the PAC ROM.

I've been able to fix it by reflashing Gapps, (or sometimes the ROM, itself) and then i will have no issues whatsoever with bluetooth.. so there might be something going on with recovery? i dunno, i just know reflashing stuff has helped me...

but, this method presents one major problem...

the nightly version of this ROM has no recovery included, and no matter what i do, i cannot get recovery to install along side the "stock" kernel...

so, if the bluetooth issue pops up... i have to fastboot a kernel w/ recovery preinstalled and start fresh and it's kind of a hassle...

although... seeing the new active notification stuff chaOS is doing, along with the theme-ability and overall smoothness of this ROM, it's worth it...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] tiskewlio:
Thanks for the reply. I haven't flashed this yet but it's strange that there's no recovery. Can't you flash the dual recovery after flashing the rom to keep it ther? The theming and features of this rom is what got me interested.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] theminigame:
the custom build has a recovery packaged with it. the nightly version doesn't. go to the op, you'll see find the custom build.

and no, that dual recovery is only for stock based stuff. even if it did work, once you flashed the nightly you would lose recovery.

for this phone, recovery is packed with the kernel, so whatever ROM you flash, you're dependent on that ROM to have a recovery.

I'll tell you that this ROM is very smooth and the features are well implemented, so worth a try.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
I have done a commit to fix the recovery issue on nightly releases.

From the next nightly on, (CWM) recovery will be included.

Anyone know how to change the navbar size?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] pietrucci:
You're right, the problem is my 64Mb sd-card. Rom starts allright when I remove the card after install. When inserting the sd-card afterwards systeem reports it's empty and wants to format it.

Strange, 4.2.2 handles 64Mb cards ok. Is there a solution to read this card? I like this Rom a lot but without my card I can't use it to my needs.

Thnx.

EDIT: I meant 64

Gb

off course...

EDIT: Solved my problem by formatting my sd-card to Fat32. Now my card gets recognized.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] pietrucci:
Menu button

Anyone knows how to reach the menu in apps without menu dot on the upper right?

Apps like Advanced Task Killer and Titanium Backup don't show their menu on the upper right and the menu option in the navigation bar don't seem to work in this Rom.
