well PAC cleaned up the device list with the decision to end some cause of maintaining purposes..So at this point all maintainers had to add back there devices. Blufalcon has been busy. so not sure if he wants to keep maintaining thread..i know he likes updating for tablet though..so at this point other PAC members have discussed adding it back since i own pollux_windy since initial release.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] qshoo:
:good: Thank you for your dedication! I'm an abiding user and fan of this wonderful tablet. :good:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] skiwong20:

This is great! Thank you. This is still the best rom for the tablet z! Nice to see it will get even better.

Feedback on "pac_pollux_windy_4.4.4.RC-1_20140915-060103.zip":

PROS:

- Every bit as good as the last PACMAN nightly - 20140824. I couldn't find any new problems with it.

- The sound glitches are almost completely eliminated in this build. I played several different media formats for quite some time and the sound faltered only in one occasion. The situation was definitely much worse with the last nightly.

- Video streaming runs much smoother too. I streamed several 1080p material via the wireless and it played like a charm even when forwarding back and forth. Whatever you did with this build you enormously improved the multimedia capability of the system :)

CONS:

- GPS still not working.

For me it's a keeper!

I only just noticed this as have been using the primary account but when I tried to select a secondary user, the tablet rebooted. I wiped sytem, cache and dalvik, then flashed the previous build you posted from 11th Sept plus gapps etc and everything is fine. Updated again to make sure and touching one of the other user accounts makes the tablet reboot. Any idea what could cause this? Sorry, I didn't think to grab a last kmsg but if it would help I could update again, reproduce the issue and grab one?

Tapatalked that shiznit.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] scoobyjenkins:
Hey guys, I just noticed the updates available today and after backing up, installed 27th Sept nightly. Still has the same issue with secondary users, I've attached a last kmsg. Also after that, to make sure, I wiped everything execept storage and clean installed the same latest nightly. When I started to create another user, as soon as I chose to "setup now" the tablet rebooted. Any ideas, [MENTION=4360710]skiwong20[/MENTION]? I don't understand the last kmsg!

Had the same question and posted it in the other pac thread. Seems like it wasn't generated fully, so I wouldn't install it!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Shanliang-:
That's right, as I replied in that thread, it isn't safe at all to install it. It'll give you a bootloop.

Also, [MENTION=4597041]qshoo[/MENTION], please post on the updated thread to keep info together. Link to updated thread.

Is PAC still being developed for Pollux Windy? I went away to Omni as it was more stable at the time 6 months ago or more but I would like to try PAC again. The download links are dead and I get a broken certificate and a 404 with https://pacman.basketbuild.com/index.php?dir=main/pollux_windy/release/ .

[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] skiwong20:
i know. if u see i edit my post.. playstore is the only that is working right with three dot menu overflow option in general ui in rom control

but when you use another app like XDA the menu option never comes up..

sorry for the confusion with the picture of the playstore. i have the menu option on as a preset on my nightlie build.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
so how is the rom going for you guys

i had 3 days standup time with 5 hours screen on after a big wakelock from facebook app

apaches ir blaster in halo looks good :D. his has it on cm gerrit
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
I am waiting for cm to accept the ir patches, otherwise I will add the app for tablet z myself :D
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
Halo is now implemented on tablet UI too

enjoy
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] DemonWareXT:
At first, thanks for this rom,it seems to work perfect so far

tremendous work!

But I am missing something,

is there an option to double tap the display to wake the device like on stock?

that would be awesome, I think that feature makes a lot of sense on tablets. Not mobiles though of course ^^

Cheers,

Linus
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] skiwong20:
no there is no option to double tap screen to wake.

close feature that can be ported to the kernel is swipe2wake. but in my opinion it eats battery
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] DemonWareXT:
hmm thanks :)

I'll have to make due then

this a shame, but I guess I can live without XD
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
thats a kernel feature, maybe in future there maybe more kernel developers on fusion3 platform and you might see that on tablet z
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] nycbjr:
Uh, first welcome! and love to see more love (and competition) for the tablet z, but this statement is how shall we say "very creative", PAMAN is hardly the first of its kind, and it absolutely cherry pick's (cherry picking is pretty hard work, esp frameworks!) but I give you kudos for making me smile.. There are a few other roms that are hybrid out there, the one I dev for being one of them. For the record I'm not trying to start anything, just pointing out this statement as stretching things a bit..

Smiles all around :D and truly welcome, and congrats on winning, must be pretty sweet to open up a new tech toy, sans grata :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
thanks i was very excited for the tablet

well pacman was the first of his kind

last year, when aokp began to gain momentum i loved what they had done but i wasnt ready to give up hybrid preferences, i also wanted few things from cm like hardware key rewamping

i met few other people who had the same goal as me and we formed the pacman team

few months after there have been loads of similar projects some based on pacman and some started from scratch but still doesnt beat the fact that we started the revolution :victory:

that been said rom development competition, its improving upon what we got

everyone's efforts are welcomed and appreciated

Missing uhid driver

Thanks for great ROM!

Flashed yesterday as soon as I've got hands on the tablet and had to restock a few hours later because of one single show stopper:

This happens if you try to connect a bluetoooth HID, keyboard or mouse. They pair just fine but can't be activated. From What I googled, the driver is missing and has to be backported. I suppose that for the time being "Bluetooth keyboard and mouse" should make into "Not working" list in the OP to let flashers know.

EDIT: or maybe I am totally wrong and the driver is there but isn't loaded?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] padooka:
Amazing ROM so far, though I have run into a quite large issue.

When I updated from the July 23 nightly to the July 24 nightly, I lost access to CWM; this also occurs with the July 25 nightly.

The FreeXperia screen does not appear anymore, and the device skips directly to the PACman loading screen, thus making it impossible to access ClockWorkMod Recovery.

The only way I was able to regain access to CWM was to go into CMD on windows and enter these commands:

fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img

fastboot -i 0xfce reboot

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_pollux

The only way I was able to get CWM onto the tablet was through installing CM 10.1 first. I followed the guide above, although I used the Pollux_Windy version of CM 10.1 as I own the 16GB Wi-Fi only version of the Xperia Tablet Z.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pirri_mori:
Hello friends, I'm a little lost and do not know how to install this rom. Can anyone tell me how I do it? I have the xperia tablet z 321,stock 307,rooted and unlocked bootloader.

Sorry for my bad english.

Thanks.

Hi, does this include the kernel from the Xperia Z port as I noted in the changes log :

- Kernel is now compilable for all fusion3 devices (Z, ZL, Tablet Z: 3G & LTE) ??
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] skiwong20:
no i would say its not a kernel ported. he has a stock cm kernel. but fusion3 is the board we are on.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
This is exactly why I hate when vendors don't include a seperate recovery partition, one bad flash and you don't have recovery

Looking forward to lk for this reason

PAC 4.2 Milestone RC builds are released

have fun, the final version will come soon after initial testing
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] shangrila500:
After the contest is complete will you continue building and updating the ROM?

Also, and I apologize if it is posted and I just skimmed over it, is the WiFi working on the WiFi version? GPS?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
Yes we provide daily nightlies and also stable builds for all supported devices

Nightlies are paused for 4.3 merge, they will resume after its done

Yes WIFI works, gps doesn't work because it's not supported yet in device tree
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] eric1214:
Not yet , just to root and install recovery
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] LeBoy:
Still on stock ROM but I have my eyes on the PACman for a quite while. Flashing this baby will probably be the project for my next free weekend ;)

Because I assume a lot of users are constantly checking this thread for new updates I would suggest to include the following two open issues under your “Bugs & PAC FAQ” section. I know these are inherited from CyanogenMod but since I believe they are deal-breakers for many of us, it’s maybe worth it to list them there for quick reference:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42825997&postcount=2

- Unexpected zooming when scrolling very slowly

- Pollux_Windy = No GPS

Please ignore my post in case these issues are already fixed. I just couldn’t find a confirmation anywhere in the forums.

Thanks a lot in advance!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
added to the list of bugs :)

[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] morphisto:
Thank you

just want to thank you for that rom - i was so disappointed from 4.2 stock rom - to put the navigation buttons in the middle is pita, it was so handy to use the left thumb for navigation and the right hand to see the notifications, now for evry action you have to use the left hand to hold the tablet and the right hand to click...

i tried cm - but same problem.

then i tried PAC and i´m very happy with it! I have the old tablet ui and everything works very smooth and PIE is really great. The only thing i miss from the stock rom is the possibility of folders in the app drawer. I never understood the concept of having links to the apps on the home screens and also in the app drawer...and if you have a lot of apps it not very handy to have them all in different screens in the app drawer where you have to swipe through...

But i installed th go launcher hd and this launcher is really great in combination with the PAC rom no i have the old tablet ui, PIE, folder in the app drawer and also swipe down on home screen for a very handy task manager and also gesture functions (both from the go launcher hd)...

thank you for that rom!

ps: will PAC with 4.3 come soon?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
Yes PAC 4.3 is under development and will be reaching very soon
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] robsquared:
Just want to say thanks and this is probably one of the smoother installs of PACman I've done (have it on my Nexus 7 3G and AT&T Note II).
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] morphisto:
from time to time the tablet reboots with this rom - often when not used. i only recognize this because it asks me for the sim pin. i installed an uptime widget and there i could see that this are real reboots (and not only a sim problem) - the uptime this morning (8 a.m.) f.e. is 4 hours - so there was a reboot at 4 a.m.

is that a known problem?

is there anything that i could do to find out why this happens?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
It was a old problem and we fixed it in milestone release, u still have it?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] om22:
is the scroll zooming bug fixed? because since some cm10.1 nightlies it´s fixed there.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] morphisto:
jepp, still have it :( should i try nightlies?

[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
I see there's a 17th August 4.3 nightly for the LTE, but only a log for the windy...is this an oversight?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
I've just installed the latest pollux_windy (16th August) PAC 4.3 nightly and I'm getting the following issue:

From status/notification bar, bring up Quick Settings, click on "settings" , settings FCs ("unfortunately settings has stopped")

Click on settings app on desktop - settings launches no problem

While in settings, click on "PAC-man" - settings FCs

I appreciate this is the first 4.3 PAC Pollux_Windy build, so may have some issues - but anyone else having this problem?

Info : I was running CM-10.2 before installing PAC. I followed in install instructions (coming from custom ROM) as posted in the OP.

Update : I suspect the problem is related to the PAC-man apps. Launcher would FC when opening apps drawer. I diabled the PAC-man apps and now apps drawer opens ok.

UPDATE2 : Gone back to CM-10.2 until this is sorted. A bit quiet around here...

I have the pollux variant

i think you have the pollux_windy

can i make a thread and maintain the pollux variant?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] skiwong20:
There is many difference at all between the devices. So makes no sense. Espially since there isnt alot of use. Personally I would say do personal builds for yourself in private and any fixes that u accomplish push up to gerrit for review to merged in to source. Not putting u down. I just dont like multiple threads for thr same issues. But do have fun building Razer
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
since pollux and pollux windy have the same xda section and the number of users are limited it wouldnt make sense to further divide users between 2 threads

you can help the pollux users with problem in this thread

PAC is still having problems like after enabling and then disabling fullscreen /pie/, pie is still visible... For me it could be daily driver but not for my wife ;) she hates pie...

Wysłane z mojego Nexus 4 za pomocą Tapatalk 4
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
there is a button to turn off pie completely

set trigger area to none in pie settings
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] hasenbein1966:
I can fully understand your wife.

There are better and more convenient solutions than pie, for instance using GMD Gesture Control together with CM's Expanded Desktop (if one wants to hide the navigation bar).

With pie, you always have to do 2 actions (activate pie, click on item).

With gestures, you only need 1 action. 50% more convenient.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] DooshPastesh:
I was using gmd gestures on stock (Great thing imho). I just can't used to 4.2.2 phablet Mode. But I need 4.2.2 for multiuser function. Now I'm using cm 10.2 becouse of sort of Pie andmy wife is not complaining about pac bugs... I miss paranoid. I thought about porting PA to pollux but now I don't have much time due to childborn :D

Can you tell me about what PAC bugs you have?

I pushed the settings force close fix and the pie switch will be fixed soon

Meanwhile you can set pie trigger to none to fix it
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
Sorry about this noob question, but as far as I know adb is a command line application...so how and/or where do you "click on" adb notification ?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
When the tablet is connected to PC you have a notification for disabling adb

Use that
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
Thanks. I did wonder if it was something like that...but I haven't got access to my PC at the moment.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] DooshPastesh:
As soon as some small bugs will be fixed I will switch to Pac. I love PA pie more than my wife... (Shhh!;))

Besides your workarounds for settings and pie works very good, thanks in advice.

A couple of bugs :

Power off tablet, connect to charger. Tablet does a "slow" reboot and turns itself back on. Tablet is now very laggy. Do a reboot and lag is fixed. Same happens with cm10.2. Don't think this happened in cm10.1.

Tablet will not charge from Sony docking cradle. (I'm sure this worked with cm10.2). Charges OK using micro USB port.

I'm going back to a 4.2 ROM to check if the above issues are present or not. I'll update with my findings.

Thanks for your work on this ROM.

Update: I've just restored to CM 10.2 and charging from Sony docking cradle is working OK. Can also confirm reboot+laggy when power off+connect charger. I'll go back to a 4.2 ROM and update you again.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
In the log for the latest (2013/08/20) build, the log shows the build failed (unrecognised command 'ccache'). However, there is a 195MB build file.

Is this OK to use?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
Well, went ahead and installed 2013/08/20 nightly. Settings FC seems to be fixed :good:

However, I can't figure out how to access any menus. For example, using Play store app, I just can't find a way to get into the menu to access settings, etc.

Likewise in the settings menu, I can't see a way of turning on synchronising for an account, or deleting an account. There just isn't a way I can see of accessing the menu. Even if I make the "3 dot" menu icon appear in the nav bar it doesn't work:(

Any ideas? What am I doing wrong :confused:

Gone back to cm10.2 for now as I just can't use PAC as it is.

By the way, where are the 4.2 PAC nightlies? The only nightlies I can find are the 4.3 ones.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] razer1224:

[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
Thanks - that did the trick:good:

Bit of a noob mistake :silly:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
Now running 2013/08/20 nightly. Happy to say:

settings FC problem gone

tablet now charges in Sony cradle/dock

:D:good:

Unfortunately problem of "power off + connect to charger = reboot+turn on+laggy" is still there. Guess this is a 4.3 or CM10.2 issue. This happens when charging via micro USB port or dock.

Anyway, happy to stay with PAC. Just love having PIE & per-app scaling :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
I noticed on the CM implementation of Pie, when the keyboard is displayed Pie shows the proper "keyboard hide" down arrowhead in place of the back-button.

Is there a way to get PAC to do this, as sometimes using the back button to hide the keyboard also activates the "back" function?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
we are using the pa's pie

i never tried cm's pie, i ll add it to the list of future improvements
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
Blame Tyler?

Have I or PAC been hacked?

My FC messages now read "Unfortunately process xxxxx has stopped. Blame Tyler" :confused::confused:
