Thanks, but no dice. I also have Samsung TV, the newest Smart TV and I couldnt get it to work. My Miracast dongle is still in the mail - will have to wait & see if that works.

What steps did you take to establish screen mirroring to your Samsung TV?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] moesus:
I have the F-Series with the 2013 Smart Hub. All I did was switch to screen mirroring on the TV (Source --> Screen Mirroring) and then go to Wireless display on the tablet. Turn that on and it searches automatically for devices.

In on the latest nightly btw.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] LeBoy:
I've used several versions of XBMC with several different PACMAN nightlies and I never experienced a crash.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Apo11on:
Took a full night and going back to stock rom to check things out, but I got the mirroring to work on PACMAN. The coolest thing is it doesnt occupy your wifi connection, which I thought it would. You can mirror your tablet or phone to a big screen, and still connect the device to wifi. Miracast ftw!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
Mirroring works with PACMAN because it is still on 4.3.

Mirroring is broken on all 4.4 kitkat based ROMS.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Apo11on:
Thanks for the heads up, didn't know that. I'll stay away from 4.4 roms, until mirroring is fixed.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
pac kk coming to a tabz near you very soon

oh and sony announced tab z2, i wouldnt mind maintaining another tablet, sony just incase you are wondering :p
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Shanliang-:
Excellent news, [MENTION=4209428]bluefa1con[/MENTION] !

And yeah, that Z2 looks neat. A much needed spec updated version of our dearly loved Tablet Z. Although I might need to stick to Z, but having PAC will give it a new life :)

Thanks for the hard work.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
I am looking forward to a kk pac rom.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Apo11on:
is screen mirroring still broken in latest 4.4 builds?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] asweetlove:
link down

is the website down ? i tried to download but couldn't get in
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Charsher47:
Can't wait tillI can get a KitKat PAC rom on my tab.

The latest 4.4.2 CM nightly has it working so hopefully it will be good to go on PAC-ROM when it comes!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
DELETED
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] asweetlove:
Is it just me or the nav bar is blocking a part of my launcher ?, anyone has this problem ?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
Flashed new PAC 4.4.2 nightly.

Dissapointingly (though perhaps unsurprisingly) it has the same audio bug found in most other 4.4 ROMs :((try playing 5 mins of music on you-tube - you'll get sound-stutter a few times).

Shame - this has been fixed by developer in Fidelity ROM, so I'm going back to Fidelity for now.

Can PAC devs pick up the fix from Fidelity dev ? Something to do with raising priority of Audio process or buffer sizes - or both ??
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pangiotis24:
Can you find the required commit so that pac devs can cherry pick it?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] skiwong20:
yes please. i will look into the commit when i get a chance...i will also hit Bluefa1con up....PAC 4.4.2 is available on our website. i know bluefa1con will update this thread when he is available.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Charsher47:
First nightly seems to be running smooth, only hiccups I see so far are that bluetooth and double tap to wake aren't working.

Edit: Nvm, double taps work
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] skiwong20:
okay thanks for trying. i will see whats ups. i havent flashed the nightly yet been messing with my other devices. :D
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
Thanks. It would be fantastic if the audio bug could be sorted out. :good:

I watched a half hour concert on you tube last night using Fidelity rom - not a single sound problem :angel:

I would love to come back to PAC but I can't live with sound glitches every 3 minutes :( (and not just on you tube - happens in other places like notifications and MX player)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] skiwong20:
fidelity is sound tweaks in the kernel. as a right now PAC uses stock CM kernels for all devices..but we might be able to summit a patch to see if CM will merge. even ask the original committer of the code to see if he will summit a patch. that would be the best bet so we don't have issues.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
Thanks for looking into this. (by the way, just trying to be helpful - it's 'submit' not "summit" ;) )
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Apo11on:
PACMAN 4.4 thread?

Where is the thread for the new PAC 4.4.2? I'm either blind, or it's not there in any of development sections.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Charsher47:
This is it.. OP just hasn't been updated.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Apo11on:
yup, flashed the latest nightly ad saw that...I guess bluefa1con is pretty busy to bother updating the OP
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] zombiej79:
Anybody try the new pac. Yet?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Apo11on:
Bluetooth isn't working in the latest nightly for me - can't turn it on. Does anyone else have that issue?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pangiotis24:
Install selinux mode changer app and set se linux to permissive.then it will work
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Charsher47:
Forgot about this, thanks. Was it concluded in CM that flashing with twrp needed se linux to be set to permissive but when flashing with cwm, the default enforcing is ok for bluetooth to work?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pangiotis24:
I really dont know as i am with twrp
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Apo11on:
thanks a bunch! worked like a charm. just to make sure there is no confusion: this is persistent setting, I don't have to do it after every reboot, right?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pangiotis24:
Yes it is autoset after every reboot.just do not uninstall the app
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Apo11on:
argh! that is certainly not the answer I was hoping for. I don't want to be forced to modify system settings after every reboot, to get things working! :( Is there permanent configuration change somewhere in the rom you can suggest, or some existing startup script this could be added to, in order to keep selinux at permissive setting?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
I think you misunderstand. By "autoset" it means your choice is automatically set on every boot - in other words, your choice is effectively "retained".
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Apo11on:
I know what autoset means, and I think you're the one, who misunderstood. I think he meant it is autoset to "enforcing", not "permissive" - hence the suggestion to not uninstall the app. If the setting was persistent it would make no sense to recommend to keep Selinux Mode Changer app
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
From the tone of your reply, have I offended you :confused: I certainly didn't mean to. Maybe it's down to the way us Brits talk?

For clarity, I have used the selinux app to change to permissive, and that state is re-applied on each boot, allowing me to turn on bluetooth.

The setting is not persistent, and I did not say it was. It is re-applied at each boot, hence the need to keep the app.

It's a shame you take such an attitude to an offer of help :(
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Charsher47:
You can try flashing with cwm, as I think some have found that bluetooth will work with enforcing that way, like I mentioned.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] skiwong20:
yes this does work. i am using cwm and my Bluetooth works. and enforcing is still on
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Oliniusz:
Just to let you guys know, I have a bootlop after installing 20140310, anybody else could confirm?

Also I have noticed that whatever I choose on Power Menu, it will just reboot. I can't turn it off, I can't boot to recovery, I do this by VolUp+Power at the moment.

I have twrp v2.6.3
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Shanliang-:
Hello, guys. I'm in need of help.

I'm currently trying to flash PAC 4.4.2 in my pollux_windy, coming from Sony stock 4.3. These are the steps I followed:

First, I downloaded the latest PAC nightly (03/19) and the appropiate GApps.

Then I extracted the boot.img from the ROM and flashed it in flashboot mode. All good so far.

After this, I entered recovery, wiped data/factory reset.

Then flashed ROM and GApps, followed by a chache and dalvik wipe.

Finally, I rebooted system and I'm in a bootloop. So I went to recovery again and wiped data and restarted. Same situation, bootloop.

I tried installing CM 10.2.1 (by first flashing its boot.img) and bootloop as well.

I've had PAC in the past (4.3 version) and everything worked well, but this time I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I'd appreciate all the help I can get. :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
As far as I can see, you're doing the right steps.

Have you tried flashing ROM only (no Gapps) ?

How long have you left it bootloop?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Shanliang-:
Thanks for your reply. Yeah, I tried flashing only ROM and same result. When I reboot system, SONY logo appears and then the device reboots and the logo appears again, and it repeats endlessly. I've let it bootloop for like 3-4 minutes. :confused:

I've flashed stock again to keep the tablet working, but as soon as you guys give me an idea of how to proceed, I'll try again.

Thanks again.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] ArcOnFire:
What did you do to enable double-tap?

I think the nightly build of 19th March doesn't have double tap working...
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pangiotis24:
On 19 nightly on pollux windy i have an issue that whenever i unlock my device the three dot menu button appears both right of the navigation bar and left of the back button
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
+1

Not a problem in CM11. There are some recent commits in PAC gerrit relating to nav bar menu buttons. Probably the cause of the problem.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Oliniusz:
Could you guys please check and tell me if the power menu menu options are working nowadays, i.e. 'boot to recovery' goes to recovery and so on?

I have in every case the boot animation and shortly after back to the desktop. Tell me, maybe it's just me who need a clean install :D
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Shanliang-:
I continue having the same bootloop when installing PAC. I checked the log and it says:

I: Checking for extendedcommand...
I: Skipping execution of extendedcommand. file not found...
I: Can't partition non mmcblk device: /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host

I've read it's something related to partitioning, but wouldn't be sure. What could that be? :confused: Appreciate any help.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
Maybe try using TWRP recovery instead of CM? This has worked for some people. For TWRP, look here.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] morphisto:
I just installed the latest nightly - is it not possible to switch the design in this version? i don´t want to have the phone layout (buttons in the center, notifications at the top) - i want the design where i have the buttons in the lower left corner and the notifications on the lower right corner...is that not possible anymore?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Charsher47:
Just go into the display settings and disable and then re-enable double tap to wake. You have to do this after every reboot for now. It's an issue across most if not all devices I believe.

The extended power menu options have always worked for me, including boot to recovery. What recovery are you on? I suggest the latest TWRP.

Yes, I believe using TWRP will fix your problem.

Sounds like you're referring to Tabelt UI. All code relating to tablet ui has been wiped by google in KitKat.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] ArcOnFire:
Ah the reboot, I got it working now, thanks!

How about the double tap to of from the home screen? I read that the trick is to use screen off to correspond to the double tap gesture... but how do I set what app to launch when there's double tap on home screen?

Also, for launcher3 : Is there a way we adjust the icon size or add the number of icons that can be put on the left/right side of the app drawer button
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Shanliang-:
Thanks guys for your reply.

I haven't been able to get TWRP working. This is what I've done:

Starting point: PAC-man ROM and GApps flashed, everything wiped after installed, then bootloop.

So in order to replace CM kernel with TWRP, I followed lilsteve's steps to get LK working.

Flashed LK.img tool ==> flashed boot.img (extracted from PAC nightly) ==> flashed recovery twrp_2.7.img. ==> Reboot.

When I enter recovery, CM kernel is still there and the bootloop as well. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Charsher47:
Did you have lk working before? Are you sure you were in lk's fastboot when you flashed the recovery?

Make sure your device shows up like "Bus 001 Device 049: ID 18d1:d00d Google Inc."

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

I don't use the stock launcher but I always double tap the status bar to turn off the screen.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] jiggykilla:
quick question about file system

Has anyone tried apps2sd on this rom and does it work? And is the file system still emulated?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Shanliang-:
I was able to access TWRP, and from there installed PAC and GApps, wiped dalvik & cache, rebooted and same bootloop.

I'm starting to feel a little bit frustrated :(

Might this be related to the internal SD's file system? I'm running out of ideas. Thanks for keeping helping me.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] cantenna:
before installing the rom, wipe via twrp, then wipe via cwm. You also have to format system folder separately via cwm. Then install the rom from cwm. Wipe cache, wipe Davlik cache via cwm. Reboot.

Upon reboot google play does not work. for some reason gaps needs to be flashed with little kernel removed from the cwm recovery that comes preinstalled with the roms, otherwise play does not work.

1) extract recovery from pacman rom and fastboot flash normally overwriting little kernel then reboot into cwm and flash gapps.

2) verify gaps works.

3) install little kernel again

4) profit
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Shanliang-:
Thanks for your reply.

The thing is that I have never been able to boot the PAC ROM (4.4.2), not even once. And I even tried all the process without installing GApps (only the ROM) and the result was the same: bootloop. :(

EDIT: I think you updated your post with more info right after I posted my reply. I'll try your suggestion and will report the results.

EDIT 2: Followed your instructions step by step, exactly as you mentioned them. But when I finish installing ROM and reboot, I get the usual bootloop.

And the log keeps showing the same issue:

I:Checking for extendedcommand...
I:Skipping execution of extendedcommand, file not found...
I:Can't partition non mmcblk device: /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc1

So, I don't know what else I can try. :confused:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Charsher47:
I think you need to nix LK, flash back to stock, install twrp thru terminal or adb then flash this rom/gapps.

If I'm not mistaken, others have come across that error from ext4 incompatibilities with cwm and the latest aosp roms. Certain versions of cwm have an ext4 fix but I'm not sure which ones.

---------- Post added at 12:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 AM ----------

Gone in 3/22 nightly :good:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Shanliang-:
Thanks for your reply. I'm afraid I don't know what "nix" LK mean. I'd appreciate if you could guide me through the steps you mention (installing TWRP using ADB, mostly). :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] skiwong20:
he is saying get rid of LK bootloader. he wants u to boot straight off the regular recovery in the kernel of the pacman rom
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Charsher47:
Yea, basically just fastboot flash the recovery from this rom to get rid of LK, then in cwm flash any previously working rom. Once you can boot successfully, install twrp the normal way thru terminal or adb as outlined by them here. Then you can boot into twrp and install pacrom and gapps.

Hopefully that will work, just trying to eliminate variables.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Shanliang-:
Thanks, guys. I tried your suggestions.

This is what I did:

Coming from stock 4.3, flash the boot.img from the CM11 Fidelity Edition ROM, which actually comes with TWRP. Then booted into recovery, wiped everything and flashed that ROM. Rebooted and bootloop.

Then I did the same procedure with the boot.img from LiquidSmooth ROM (4.4.2), went to recovery, this time CWM, wiped, flashed ROM, rebooted, bootloop. Checked log and and same message about "Can't partition non mmcblk device...".

Repeated procedure with PAC 4.3, which was the last and only non-stock ROM I had working, and the results were the same, bootloop, same message in log. :(

Something might be wrong with my internal SD. :confused:

Appreciate other ideas you may come up with. :good:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pangiotis24:
I have one question guys.I have installed twrp with the instructions from the official twrp site.How do i revert back to cwm recovery?Flashing the cm boot.img doesn't work and it's logic as twrp is installed on the fotakernel partition
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] RochiWizz:
I tried find an answer to this in some of the previous posts but no luck. Would it not work to flash the from directly from CWM on stock rooted rom?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Shanliang-:
I wonder if this could work: Using Flashtool, select a stock Firmware a deselect all elements (system, kernel, boot, etc.) and leave only FOTAkernel selected and flash it. That way it would overwrite the TWRP and would boot from the CWM. It's a guess, we'd need a confirmation from someone else if this could work.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] cantenna:
April 5 nightly gives a splitscreen error, makes it impossiable to use the rom, going to try an early one.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
This Rom is making nice progress. Keep up the good work.

4.3 PAC was my daily use ROM until kitkat ROMs came out.

Now this one is again.

Bluetooth ain't working though. Could fix it withe the selinux permissive patch but it would be good if you guys can fix it in the ROM.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] LeBoy:
I haven't checked the PACMAN updates in a while and today I tried to install the "pac_pollux_windy-nightly-20140427.zip" and it totally unusable: <Split Screen Error>.

Can anyone tell me what is the latest woking ROM?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Shanliang-:
I'm on April 22's nightly and it's been working fine. I tried flashing April 26's but no luck, stuck at logo.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
I am using the 26th nightly. Works perfectly fine.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] qshoo:
I'm on pac_pollux_windy-nightly from 2014 05 19 and I'm using it for daily works.

I tried the latest nightly from 2014 05 25 and stuck in a bootloop. Even after a factory reset, cache wipe etc. the bootloop was unavoidable. Switched back to 2014 05 19 ...
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
My autoupdater is not working. It allways shows a nightly from april as newest. That is why i allways downloaded my nightlies from the pacman website.

The website link is broken and leads to the developers entry right now. Wehn it still worked two days ago the 19th nightly was the latest posted one. The newer nightlys were not showing up for download.

I think there is an issue with nightlies from 19th on. That or something worse considering the forums and download links are down on the main site.

That being said: the 19th nightly is very fast and stable. The only negative point is the sound bug all kitkat roms besides Linaro seem to have.

Why noone implements the fix Linaro uses is beyond me though.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] qshoo:
Latest nightly pac_pollux_windy-nightly from 2014 06 01 installs without problems but starts with

unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped blame the splitscreen

Even after a factory reset, cache wipe etc. the message pops up. Again switched back to nightly from 2014 05 19 which works fast and reliable ...
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
Are you sure that's a valid build? Looking on the PAC github, there's been no build since 2014 05 20, in fact under "Project PAC-man ROM Nightly Builds" it says :

DO NOT RUN THIS IT IS GOING TO GET DELETED

left for reference -

This project is currently disabled

There has been a problem since 20th May with builds - though I think things may be starting up again.

Don't know what you've managed to download:confused:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] qshoo:
Sorry, I was not aware to downloaded and test something like a temporary build, it was on the end of pacman list

https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/pacman/pollux_windy/nightly/
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] qshoo:
Nightly pac_pollux_windy 2014 07 09 and 2014 07 10 install without problems but start with

unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped blame the splitscreen

Even after a factory reset, cache wipe etc. the message pops up.

So for me the last nightly working without problems is from 2014 07 06 ...
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] moesus:
I have the same problem. On 20140706 everything works quite alright. But trying to set up a second user doesn't work. I can create one, but the setup crashes when logging in. I hope this ROM is not dead! I am using pac 4.44 on my phone and it's simply fantastic!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
project is still there, just a massive code clean was under way

nightly are being configured now, our server got wiped a while back
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] moesus:
Good news! This is still the best ROM out there.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
Nice to hear! Pacman was my favorite until it went dark. Switched to omni in the meantime but i will be having a look once you got nightlies up and running again.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
Got myself a fresh build, your nightly are returning very soon too :)

Is the tab z forum dead now? It wasn't very popular but never this quite
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] moesus:
Such good news! :D

I'm still here!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Charsher47:
Maybe everyone is just too content with their tabs, I am with this rom :good:
