I think people got fed up with the lack of support.

For example, GPS has been broken for pollux_windy on CM11 for 2 months or more - no fix yet.

Sadly, I see it is also broken on PAC (I tried 28-07-2014 dev build). :(

(GPS for pollux_windy is ok on OMNI ROM - but OMNI crashes when put the tablet into charging dock with tablet switched off :eek:)

This has made many Tab-Z users (like me) abandon custom ROMs. At least the stock Sony ones work :rolleyes:

Most ROMs are primarily built for phones and then ported to Tablets - but if you've got a wi-fi only tablet, then the problems begin and it seems no-one wants to help.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] LeBoy:
Very good news! PACMAN was also my favorite ROM until the nightlies started failing. In the meantime I tried some other ROM's but no one is really perfect. I'll be glad to come back to PACMAN :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] scoobyjenkins:
Just giving this a try today and enjoying it so far! Would it be possible to have the option for navbar height in landscape? I prefer to use pie and set it to 0 dpi. Using a navbar spoofer in the Ultra Dynamic Navbar app for now. Also, will the title of this thread be updated? Took me a while to work out this is 4.4.4 Pac!

Is anyone else having trouble downloading the latest nightly? I have been trying for the whole day without any luck. Mobile, tablet and PC all show a beginning download, but it never reaches 1%. Thanks for any help.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] moesus:
Ok, download has resolved itself :) Today it worked without any problems. Flashed it via recovery including gapps and it booted up perfectly without any crashes. I then added my Google account as usual. Playstore works perfectly, but my calendars don't show up and neither does my gmail. ON further investigation Google music doesn't work either, but Google books does :confused:

I then tried different gapps packages (all for kitkat): PAgapps, CM standard gapps and some mini gapps package

None of them work...any ideas or links to working gapps?

Btw. when installing the newest nightly I did a clean install, including a wipe data/factory reset and format system!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] scoobyjenkins:
I installed 01-08-2014 nightly with Banks Minimal Gapps but I use Google calendar and all is working fine. I install Gmail separately as it's not included in the Minimal Gapps.

Tapatalked that shiznit.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] moesus:
Good to know that it's something wrong with my tablet. Should be fixable. Weird though as I tried Banks Gapps...

I'll start over from scratch, then.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] scoobyjenkins:
Good luck! I'm guessing you checked your Google account was syncing properly in settings?

Tapatalked that shiznit.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] moesus:
I did, but the strange thing was even it showed no errors (sync Ok message), there were no time stamps of last successful syncs. I'll try starting from the very start by flashing boot.img :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
Why not just use extended mode (navbar is gone) + pie? That's how i run it.

Back to pac as daily runner btw. Great work guys!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] scoobyjenkins:
I didn't realise that would work, thanks! Will try later :)

Tapatalked that shiznit.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] moesus:
Soooo, after a long night of going through forum posts this did the trick. I'm just going to post this here for anyone else that might ever have this issue. My Gmail app wouldn't sync and showed "getting your messages". Calendar and Google music also wouldn't sync.

- Turn off Sync

- Go to Apps and:

* - Force Stop Gmail

* - Find Google Play Services, than Manage Space, and hit 'Clear all data' (or probably just Force Stop & Clear Data for older versions)

* - Find Google Play Store, Force stop, Clear data.*

- Turn on Sync

- Run Gmail

So far everything is good. :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] blackassassinuk:
no links working?

main link takes you to basketbuild but bluefalcon isnt on there.

If anyone has it, was after the latest nightly for Pollux please.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] scoobyjenkins:
Look for pacman under devs! Then bookmark the download page ?

Tapatalked that shiznit.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] blackassassinuk:
thanks for fast reply, i went a bit stupid then sorry :D

Been a long day and CM11 ROM thats just been updated has pretty much borked my wifi so not paying as much attention as I should lol
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] scoobyjenkins:
No worries, I wondered which dev to look for, then recognized some other rom names and realised!

Tapatalked that shiznit.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] scoobyjenkins:
Will today's build be available in Basketbuild? I can see it in the updater section of settings but that doesn't seem to be downloading properly at the mo!

Doesn't you have same problem like me?

:(
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] scoobyjenkins:
If I go to the PAC site, what appears to be a direct link to the download takes you to Basketbuild where you have to navigate to pac, nightly and latest is 20140801. I've bookmarked the page for pac nightlies. If I try download using the built in updater, it just downloads a few kb then says complete.

Tapatalked that shiznit.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] SnZ:
Ah right, sure https://s.basketbuild.com/dl/devs?d...nightly/pac_pollux_windy-nightly-20140801.zip works, can't say anything about updater.

There is chance it's downloading this not existing 0806.zip, anyways Fiddler is your friend :)

//P.S. is GPS... working?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] scoobyjenkins:
What's fiddler? Haven't tested GPS yet and am away from the tablet at the mo.

Tapatalked that shiznit.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] SnZ:
Fiddler free web debugging proxy ;)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] moesus:
I have PAC Rom running on my Z1 compact and the OTA looks a little different there. It has also integrated automatic flashing of the downloaded zip. Would be fantastic to integrate something like that, if possible. I attached a Screenshot of how it looks like.

BTW, great that this Rom is being updated again!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] scoobyjenkins:
6th August nightly is now available with some welcome additions! Love the notification panel background option, just like in the rom on my phone and works way better than Xblast/ Xposed. Plus the progress bar and ability to hide navbar in landscape. Looking forward to seeing what's next :)

Tapatalked that shiznit.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pangiotis24:
may you test gps please?also how is the stability?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] scoobyjenkins:
I can't get a lock with GPS status app but stability seems great here so far.

Tapatalked that shiznit.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Oliniusz:
Any insiders, guys, do you know what is the issue with GPS nowadays? You think it will be resolved eventually or is it something with proprietary poo that is not available at the moment? If you have no happy answers in your pockets then do you remember what was the last working nightly build where GPS was fully functional?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pangiotis24:
About gps please try something

Go to system/etc/gps.conf and replace

with

Note that reboot is required for changes to take effect

Please try and report back
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Oliniusz:
It must be something else.

Sadly, I'm having the issue I had a few weeks before. Gmail not syninc (waiting for sync), as well as Calendar and GMusic. I tried the work arounds, but they don't seem to work anymore.

Strange thing is, that once I switch to AOSB project Rom, it works flawlessly. I know people have not reported this issue and had gapps working perfectly, but something is not right with my device then.

Does anyone have an explanation for this? I really like PAC and would love to stay with it, now that it gets frequent updates again, but without mail, calendar and music, it's pretty useless to me. :(

I already did a fresh install with formatting everything possible in CWM beforehand. I tried different gapps (banks, PA gapps, CM). Tried to add the google account with the installation process and manually afterwards. No success....
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
that really weird mate, i use 3 google accounts on my tablet Z and all of them sync well

have you checked the sync settings? maybe you blocked some google services in wake lock blocker.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] moesus:
I know... Very strange. I haven't changed anything after the fresh install. Never went into wake lock blocker... Maybe I'll try adding another account first then the second and remove the first. The weirdest thing is that it works on AOSB. I appreciate any other ideas :)

Feedback on "pac_pollux_windy-nightly-20140812.zip" after a weekend of use:

PROS:

- Rock solid! Not a single crash or FC so far.

- GPS: I could lock my location at home successfully. I'm not sure if it was still cached from Google though. I don't use any location-based applications and I could not test it further so far. Sorry!

- Even more customization options than before. No FC's while fine-tuning this time :)

- All the nice extra features brought by PACMAN work perfectly so far. I won't list them all here because they are a lot but the bottom line is that this is best ROM for customization enthusiasts and this is the most stable build I ever tried.

CONS:

- Audio problem. This is a known KitKat bug. I noticed however that the problem is much milder with PACMAN. I was using Paranoid in the same tablet before and the audio was basically unusable. A workaround is available here: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-tablet-z/general/solution-audio-glitches-t2799073

- Lockscreen won't rotate according to tablet orientation.

- Pie controls cannot be set to be triggered from the bottom side. I suspect that the Navigation Bar is somehow getting on the way. I have it on the right side only for the time being. Any suggestions?

- Some customizations options need a reboot to take effect.

- I don't see the Hybrid options anywhere. Am I missing something?

Hi, don't know if this is reported...

When browsing https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/pacman and choose Sony/Tablet z (pollux_windy) the site instead open pollux (lte)

And vice versa choosing tablet z lte will open pollux_windy.

Just wanted to make sure that we are downloading the right versions for our tablets.

Thanks for looking into this.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] moesus:
Update to my syncing issue. I have now done the following:

- Reverted all the way back to stock 4.1, rooted and upgraded to 4.4.2 stock.

- Flashed boot.img from PAC rom and installed it with gapps. Everything worked perfectly.

- Added my google account during the setup process, opened gmail --> stuck on "getting your messages"

- Added a second google account, which is also not syncing.

Before this I already tried using different gapps (PA, CM, Banks), doing a playstore and play services reset (worked for a day or so). I am really not new to this and this is the 5th device I own that I rooted and installed custom roms on. My phone has PAC and is working flawlessly. I'm really lost here and would appreciate any ideas or help. :confused:

Rom versions I tried: nightly from 12th and 18th with clearing cache and dalvik after install.

Gapps: Banks, CM and PA gapps 11th, 18th

Something I am missing here? Please help!! I am a loyal PAC user and always have been! This is getting so frustrating... :(

PS: Here are three screenshots of how it looks like (weird is that there are no timestamps in the sync tab)

http://imgur.com/sAEqmCE,UxNjuNa,zJ83DiT
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] LeBoy:
I'm sorry to hear that and I'm afraid I cannot really help. I just installed the latest nightly (pac_pollux_windy-nightly-20140812.zip) and the gapps (20130813) from here gapps Download and the GMail app just worked out of the box. Actually I wanted to deactivate it because I don't use GMail anymore but it just installed itself and started syncing...

I don't know what to suggest :(
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] eric1214:
Sorry , i'm japan ve.r. , that is. 3g only, well i need install which one?? Wifi or 4g??
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Calamityx1:
I noticed that can't customize the navigation bar and add or reorder the navigation buttons while in Tablet UI. And I've been trying to mess around with the rom controls but I can't access the menu button on either side.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] hasenbein1966:
No, unfortunately it wouldn't be perfect, either - AFAIK the HDMI out is also not working (as in all custom ROMs ATM). Deal breaker for me.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
Did you run any cm build on your tab yet?

Yes you can't customize them in tablet ui but phablet ui let's you customize them

I already posted that you can activate menu button from rc, look in second post on op
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] morphisto:
I have an pollux device and a would give it a try if you can confirm that the touch bug that was solved in the offical 307 rom is also fixed in this rom. I tried the 10.1 cyanogen but it was unusable because of the touch panel bug (zoom mode instad of scolling if you move the finger "to slow...")
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
First nightly build for both pollux and pollux_windy are online

links are in OP

i have the wifi tablet. coming from baked black bean. wiped evrything, wiped system, then when i flashed the wifi build, it failed. back on baked bean
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Shanliang-:
As PACman is based on CM, it's very likely the issue you mention (which I've read also from other CM-pollux users) still remains in PAC. That is until the CM team includes that fix for the touch sensitivity implemented by Sony in .307 (LTE) and .370 (WiFi-only).
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
maybe your download is corrupted

check md5 sum

there is no reason it should fail if you have a custom recovery
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] grasshoxda:
redownloaded, reflashed
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
what version of tablet Z you have?

the recovery failed flash because it cant identify your device as SGP311 or 312

knowing baked beans is for wifi version only the bug maybe with twrp recovery

fastboot flash the boot.img in pac and install from cwm recovery
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] nioman:
What now?

Ok. I try not think myself as a complete noob in installing custom roms. but I simply do not know how to continue from here. Here is what I have done so far:

On your PC extract the boot.img from zip and place it in a easy to remember folder

From CMD/Terminal cd to the directory and do

Code:

Code:

fastboot flash boot boot.img ; fastboot reboot

I had no problems with these. But how do I enter fastboot after this? Before doing this I was able to access it just fine (the device is unlocket and so on). After these I am completely unable to access fastboot or any cwm that should provide me with the options to do a data wipe and install custom firmware. If I hold the +button and connect the cable nothing happens. If I reboot while holding the +button nothing happens :(
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
during reboot your LED will flash magenta color, press volume up when that happens and it will go to recovery

otherwise you plug usb cable while pressing volume up and your led will turn blue meaning you are in fastboot

if none of these work for you then what do you see when u power on your tablet? did you get the correct version according to your tablet (wifi/lte)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] nioman:
I think I have the correct version. When I press the +button at reboot (at the magenta light) the device flashes SONY->Xperia->Sony->Xperia in that order.

If I press +button while connecting the cable the screen stays black. The light flashes twice and then stays blue/magenta.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
if the light stays blue it means you are in fastboot

check on your pc, "fastboot devices" to confirm its in fastboot

follow cm wiki for detailed steps but use pac zip and boot.img
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] nioman:
It seems that the problem is with the clockworkmod. It does not show anything in the screen. I will try reinstalling the boot.img again

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 PM ----------

third times the charm...Thats how many tries it took me to get the device to show the "free xperia" logo...

I think the problem was with my device. I have had some problems with it from the beginning. It sometimes reboots on random occasion and 2 times it has gotten so badly stuckt that I have had to wait for the battery to run out. I think it is now safe to say that the problem is with the ram or flash of my particular device....all though I am 100% sure that now the maintenance will blame me for all the problems :) Thank you for the help :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] grasshoxda:
finally got this on my device and it has the zoom issue :(
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
the device trees are synced directly from cm repositories if they have the issue it will be carried on

basically all aosp roms usually share the same bugs on non aosp devices because cm device trees are used
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] skiwong20:
yeah scroll fix is coming. cm is incorporating the .370 fixes. it is goin to b addressed

in your build though you need to check your pa settings, we dont get menu when in tablet mode even when three dot overflow on. it works in playstore when 3 dot option on, but none of the others apps have the menu like XDA. i will go back to my nightlies to compare what i have.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] moesus:
Mhmm, I have no ideas left. But if anyone has any ideas left, I'll gladly try anything!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
works fine here mate

i am really lost here, havnt seen anyone having this problem

all my 3 Gmail accounts receive email as soon as i get them
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pangiotis24:
thanks

may you please test gps using gps status app to see if it locks?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] LeBoy:
I'm sad to report that GPS doesn't work with this current PACMAN builds. I downloaded both GPS Status & Toolbox and GPS Status Test & Fix and I could never get any GPS information to load.

Before I started I enabled all Location options with GPS on "High Accuracy" and restarted the tablet. Both applications would then just show "Loading GPS..." forever and nothing ever happens. I let it run outside for 30 minutes with no avail. I had identical results with builds:

- pac_pollux_windy-nightly-20140812.zip

- pac_pollux_windy-nightly-20140820.zip
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] moesus:

I really hope they continue supporting this device since it allways was my favorite ROM for the pullux_windy.

Strange that there are no nightlies anymore considering they just started bringing them back a short time ago.
