Is android 4.3.1 included?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Omel:
setup crash with no simcard in tablet

any one else have this problem. and know how to avoid this .im running build 20131018
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] isimobile:
I think I have a fix see here an here :

Let me know if it works?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
yes

have you submitted it to cm gerrit? the device trees are tracked from cm so it needs to be merged in them to be included in nightly

i will test them as soon as i get some free time, tomorrow or later
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] isimobile:
No I have not submitted it yet. Would like confirmation & maybe there could be a more elegant solution. Will work with device maintainer. Have posted to cm thread.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] spoonymoon:
Q plz:)

im on stockfirmware, 10.31.c.0136 on a wifi 311 model, with unlocked bootloader is it still ok to flash bootimage from pacrom and then install like op stats?

just wanted to be sure ;)

regards :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] golfinggino:
I am running the 10/18 ROM with 2 issues tablet doesn't go into deep sleep and the android os runs at a higher percentage then the screen I am still getting great battery life but think I it would get even better with these 2 issues fixed
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
That's the reason i have stopped using custom ROMs for the time being. They all lack deepsleep for some reason.

With Timescape the display is the main powerdrain as it should be.

I hope this gets picked up at some point because some ROMs (especially the pacman one) are very nice otherwise.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
It's must be a issue on your side, use wake lock detector and use the built in wake lock blocker to remove them

My Tablet sleeps like a baby

Way better results than what I got with Sony stamina mode and the best part, I didn't had to lose functionality like with stamina mode
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
Hmm maybe I had a bad nightly for a while?

I will test the newest nightly.

Edit: When i had the powerdrain i could not find a reason why. I used wakelock detector. No active apps or anything. I simply lost 1% battery per hour to android system.

Edit: Installed the latest nightly. Testing power usage over night now. I hope it works because it is a brilliant ROM.

Edit: Wakelockdetector shows deepsleep. Looking good!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] spoonymoon:
is revovery included in bootimage.img , i only have root but no cwm/twrp installed ?

regards :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
Yes, CWM recovery is included in (PAC) boot.img
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] themono:
Stupid question - is the Xperia Tablet Z able to flash the boot partition from within recovery? Or only from fastboot? (ie, each time a ROM update is installed, does it require the boot.img to be manually flashed via fastboot?)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
You do not have to manually flash the boot.img after a ROM update.

I'm regularly installing PAC nightlies - just flash the lastest ROM zip file in recovery and that's it.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] themono:
Great - Thanks. I'm used to my One X which requires fastboot to update the boot partition!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] spoonymoon:
This is my first custom rom on tablet z , and all is working very very nice , no fc,reboots,freezes :laugh:

thanx a mill :P
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] LeBoy:
I cannot confirm that. I am always using the latest nigthlies - currently on 20131016 and my tablet really sleeps. In my case I created a new Profile, where basically everything is turned off, which I always apply whenever I am not using the device; and I also use the “Go to Sleep” function to lock it.

On the weekend I was hardly home and I had the tablet lying around in such a sleep status. On Monday morning I was surprised to see that the battery was still over 60%. From what I remember from Sony stock ROM, this is as good as or even better then Stamina mode.

Feedback on "pac_pollux_windy-nightly-20131020.zip":

- Installed successfully!

- No noticeable big changes.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] qshoo:
Was on pac_pollux_windy-nightly-20131016 and updated to 20131020

installation ok

while working, starting K9 with Nova Launcher crashed

tried a second installation, same result

returned to 20131016, all works fine here
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
I've also had a Nova Launcher crash with 20131020, but I can't be sure what triggered it. Got myself into a mess (bootloops) and had to restore a backup.

Have now reinstalled 20131020. Waiting to see what happens… .
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] LeBoy:
I'm on Apex Launcher and I didn't have a crash yet. I'll keep a closer eye on it... :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
I lost 3% during 18 hours standby. MUCH better then last time. According to statistics the CM eLock sucked quite some useless battery for some reason. I just deleted it. I'll report back tomorrow but this is looking good!

The ROM itself is great as usual.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] qshoo:
I also had bootloops after the crash with 20131020 and found it hard to get out of them. Pressing ON + UP while in a bootloop reboots, but mostly leads into a next bootloop. Recovery is reached very infrequently. Is there a sound method to break out of bootloops?

********* BUG FIXED *********

Now it’s possible to recharge the tablet when powered off. I tried both situations:

1. Power off and then plug the charger cable

2. Power on, plug the charger cable, and then powered off

In both situations the device behaved as expected displaying the “SONY” logo followed by correct changing icon, and remaining turned off until a proper power on action :)

Many many thanks for the fix! I feel that this ROM is approaching perfection very very soon!!!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
Lost 3% battery over 24h standby. Sticking to this ROM now. I must've had a messed up installation earlier.

Keep up the great work!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] LeBoy:
EDIT: After recieving an app update notification from QuickPick I tried to open Google Play and got a couple a FC's. After an reboot attempt I'm now locked on a endless bootanimation loop :(

EDIT2: I had to reflash a CM boot.img with my PC via fastboot in order to access the Recovery menu again and restore a good backup. I think I'll keep my finger off the 20131021 for now. Maybe it was just a bad flashing but I don't want to go through that again...
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pangiotis24:
Wow with the latest nightly my tab feels like it has taken steroids but my sdcard is note recognised while it is recognised on my s2.do you have any solution to this?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
What file system is it formated to?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pangiotis24:
Fat 32
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] morphisto:
Just flashed pac_pollux-nightly-20131021.zip - runs fine, no problem with external sd card (formated with exFat)!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pangiotis24:
ok.i will try formatting to exfat and i will report back
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] thebeest:
After having PAC on my Defy I had to have it on my XTZ Wifi 16G. The latest stock update with the phablet UI ruined the Xperience ;) for me so I unlocked the bootloader and flashed pac_pollux_windy-milestone.1.RC1.zip...

At first everything was great, no problems flashing or booting and all apps were working fine until I tried the GPS... So I read up on the issues with it and found that there wasn't a stable PAC release with the GPS working so I tried flashing pac_pollux_windy-nightly-20131021.zip...

It flashed fine, I did a factory reset beforehand, wiped the Dalvik and booted up fine but the AOSP Keyboard crashed and kept crashing so I couldn't connect to the Wifi in the first run setup. I skipped it and tired using my bluetooth keyboard which paired but wouldn't work so I was stuck with a slick interface with no connectivity.

Error messages would flash up briefly saying something like "Unfortunately AOSP Keyboard has failed, blame Larry". The message would appear centre screen then slide away before I could read it properly. So short of flashing the stable rom, downloading a keyboard, flashing the new rom and installing the keyboard I couldn't do any further testing.

Another observation was intermittent behaviour of the back button, sometimes it would work, other times you had to press home and reload the app you were using.

I want a stable rom that has functional GPS and bluetooth, I don't want to go back to the pre phablet stock as the constant update notifications got annoying and the phablet stock was even more annoying. If anyone can recommend a version of PAC with a working GPS that would be awesome!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pangiotis24:
Maybe you had a bad flash.i have this nightly i have none of the mentioned problems...
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] golfinggino:
Try the 10/18 ROM I tried every version after this and all have the crashes that you mention but no issues for me on 10/18
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
Hmm strange. The nightly from the 20th is running very stable since i flashed it on the 20th.

It's so stable that i decided i will skip a couple releases until something i want is changed.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] golfinggino:
OK I will redownload the 10/20 ROM and try it thanks
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
I've flashed every nightly for the past month and the only one that caused problems was 10/21.

However, to investigate another problem, I flashed back to stock Sony ROM (using Emma flash tool) then CM 10/22 and finally flashed PAC 10/21 again. No more problems :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] golfinggino:
i redownloaded and flashed the 10/20 rom with no luck - fc all over and the menu buttons didnt even work for me - so back to the 10/18 rom which works great - i am not interested in going back to stock and then trying this rom again for now i will just stay on the 10/18 rom
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] thebeest:
Thanks for the advice. I will reflash later today and report back. Can anyone provide MD5 hashes for the roms so I can confirm they have downloaded OK?

If 21/10 doesn't work I will try 20/10 as I can't see 18/10 in the tree.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] qshoo:
For me too 10/18 seems to be the latest stable version. On ROMs 10/20+21 I have reproducible crashes with following bootloops. It may be that 10/20+21 have problems with Nova-Launcher, I simply have to start K9-Mail and ... booom ... blame Tyler ... necessary manual reset ... bootloop ...
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] thebeest:
I just tried flashing 10/21 again and had the same problem.. Blame Larry. Then I flashed 10/20 and has the same problem with the AOSP keyboard so I installing the hackers keyboard apk I saved to the SD card beforehand which installed OK but before I had a chance to try it out I pressed the switch apps button and the tablet froze and is still frozen now. Any ideas? I have never had a crash like this before, the screen is on, clock is frozen and power/volume buttons do not work. Do I just wait a day for the battery to drain or can I do some kind of a reset?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
When you say the power/volume buttons don't work, do you also mean the power + volume up reboot/switch off combo will not work?

while device is power ON

Volume Up + POWER (for 10 seconds) -> resets the battery, its like removing the battery and putting it back in

Volume Up + POWER (for additional 5 seconds, total 15 seconds) -> will power off hard, device will power down
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
Could this depend on wich rom you had on the tablet before flashing?

I never understood why the pacman rom only works if you flash a cm rom first. Afaik you don't have to do hat with the other cm stom roms out there.

Maybe that is why my 20th nightly works and others don't?

I am fishing in the dark here but that is the only difference i can imagine i could have compared to the other users here.

Edit: Did you get the crashes immediatly or after a while. The first thing after booting a new rom is setting up my keyboard settings. I might have disabled the bugged feature.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] morphisto:
My tablet still runs fine with the 21/10 nightly (pollux), here is what i did to flash it:

-in recovery delete cache/delete dalvik cache and delete user data

-flash the pac rom

-directky flash the pa gapps (pa_gapps-full-4.3-20131024-signed.zip) without reboot before

-boot the tablet

-install A.I. tablet keyboard

Perhaps that helps someone...

PS: The nightly from 26/10 has only 191,4 MB ant the nightlys before all had more than 200 mb - is the build ok?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] thebeest:
That did the trick! Thanks man I got back to recovery and flashed milestone1.RC1 and I'm back to a stable rom again. Can anyone provide a link for the 10/18 rom that seems stable?

I came from a working CM 10.1 FXP242 before flashing 10/20 and 10/21.

The errors came up straight away, before I even tried to enter text.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] LeBoy:
I'm currenlty on the 20131020 and here is my experience with the latest nightlies:

20131021: FC's and bootloops. I seems that it can be made stable if the tablet is reverted to Sony stock and then applied directly. I didn't try that yet because it's just too much work.

20131020: FC's on Nova Launcher apparently. I am using Apex Launcher and it's running stable for me.

20131019: Last 100% stable version I tried.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pangiotis24:
You are talking about pollux or pollux windy?on pollux windy i had no problem with 2013021 nightly coming from pac rom
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mrjayviper:
Did this Rom support exfat/ntfs on the micro sd? Thanks
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
Running nva launcher just fine on the 20131020. The issue must be something else.

Pollux windy here.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] LeBoy:
I'm on pollux_windy.

Well, it seems that both my assumptions are disproved. Maybe I should give the 2013021 a second try then...
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] spoonymoon:
27 nighly nearly oploaded, wont be long :D
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] morphisto:
i just compared the 21/10 nightly to the 26/10 nightly - i wanted to know why the latest nightly had less MB´s, the follwing things are missing:

the app focal

the bins enfuse and enblend (as far as i know these are libs for HDR images)

the bin celeste (also an image library)

the bin autopano

and also some libs

so the build is ok but it misses some camera and image functions
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
Thanks for this. I was wondering why the file was so much smaller than usual.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] golfinggino:
I just flashed the 10/27 ROM and it really flies compared to the 10/18 but still too many crashes and back to the 10/18 ROM again I really wish it worked it is super fast

Edit I just reflashed the 10/27 ROM with a full wipe and everything seems to be running fine for those having issues with the updates maybe you should try a full wipe

also i wish we had some tweaked / undervolt kernels my xperia ultra gets better battery life then my tablet z
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] qshoo:
Exactly the same here, coming from 10/18 after a full wipe 10/27 runs well ...
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
Just updated from 20th to 28th nightly. Seems to work fine so far.

Is there a changelog for these nightlies anywhetre?

This release seems rather snappy. Why s there a performance increase. I am curious.

Keep up the good work either way!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pangiotis24:

Feedback on "pac_pollux_windy-nightly-20131028.zip":

Following the steps from other users in this thread I too did a factory reset before flashing the ROM. I’d say a full wipe would be recommended for all nightlies starting with the 20131021.

PROS:

- Tablet is running very stable. No crashes or bootloops. Yeah! :)

- Power-off charging bug is fixed!

- Some users reported a snappier GUI response but I don't feel any difference here. My device is for sure not slower though. Or maybe my individual usage habits only requires moderate performance :-p

- Hybrid Property colors are applied much more consistently now.

CONS:

- "Adjust brightness by sliding across status bar" still doesn't work in Phablet Mode.

- Making changing in PAC-man Toggle settings causes FC's.

- After a reboot the battery reading in the lockscreen always shows "Discharging 100%."
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] thebeest:
I flashed pac_pollux_windy-nightly-20131029.zip last night and had the same problem I had with all the nightlies so far with the AOSP Keyboard crashing on the welcome screen thus preventing me from connecting to the Wifi. I am going out of range for a while so I have restored my working pac_pollux_windy-milestone.1.RC1.zip and I hope things will have improved by the time I get back!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
Strange, nobody else reporting this problem :confused:

You mention the welcome screen, so I guess you must have donea full wipe. Sorry I can't help, but the following information might be helpful for the ROM maintainer:

What language are you using for the keyboard? Does the crash happen with a specific character ?

Hope you get it sorted.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] morphisto:
Did you install the gapps/pa gapps? Wipe cache/dalvik cache, do a factory reset, flash pac and than flash pa gapps...

Updates on the latest version

Has anybody tested the last version pac_pollux_windy-nightly-20131102? Any changes/stability issues? :confused:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
Don't know about changes (I usually look here to see what's been added), but stability seems fine - but only been using it for 24 hrs, obviously ;)

If you're coming from a version before 22/10 (20131022) then you may have to do a full wipe - see posts a page or two back.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] moesus:
Thanks for the link :good: didn't know about that yet. Did a full wipe and so far it seems stable. :D

Whats about HDMI/MHL ?

I need to connect to TV every day, but i saw no CM that is able to use HDMI....

I cant understand why all people praise Sony.... i can't see their big cm support....
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pangiotis24:
I think there is currently no cm rom for any device which supports hdmi
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] zeus2602:
I need to connect my Bluetooth Keyboard @ multiple users. And i pray every day for a fix. :cool:

I wait until Android 4.4 is available at this Tablet, if it is still missing-> I am going to fix it :cowboy:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I'd suggest that if you were to want to take the "logical" way, you would boot the device by default in standard 4.2 UI for a screen of its size etc (ie. like the nexus 10, which I think is called "phablet" by some people). The reason is that this is the "standard" from Google.

If you wanted to offer a way to change it, you could pop an immediate Quick Tip (like CM uses in their launcher) from the phablet controls area, saying "prefer the old Tablet look? Just head to Settings > whatever to change it".

I don't think popping up a box on launch is right, as that interrupts the user. The Android experience is meant to interrupt the user as little as possible (see Google's marble jars for this... http://www.fastcodesign.com/1672657...l-for-making-ux-decisions-2-jars-of-marbles#1)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Shanliang-:
Interesting approach to development. :) Definitely, implementing that option at the beginning would be an interruption. So just going straight to one UI and giving the info about the possible change of UI if wanted seems quite reasonable from the user's perspective.

Thanks for the info, [MENTION=2178960]pulser_g2[/MENTION]. :good:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lilstevie:
My thought on it was adding in a page in the initial setup that you get for language, WiFi, date/time, etc.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Not sure if that's possible, as off the top of my head, that is a closed part of Gapps... I don't get any setup wizard at all, as I don't install gapps.
