I have a Pollux (Z Tablet 321) and I`m running CM 10.1 for the moment. I can be one of the Beta-tester if you like.

Thanks for your hard work for us PacMan fan!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
cant send you a private message

here is the build

http://www.androidhosting.org/Devs/apascual89/pollux_PAC_JB_4.2.2-v23.0.0_20130703-071349.zip

let me know
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
Announcement

Both pollux and pollux_windy have been added to nightly bot

starting tomorrow you guys will start getting up to date PAC builds

i have added the links in OP, the builds will appear tomorrow

after first boot you have to manually enable menu button from rom control, i will overlay that later for devices with soft keys but for now it has to be only done once and it will stay that way after each flash

I have been running PAC for 2 days now and have not noticed any device specific bug, If you guys notice any thing odd tell me and i will get back to it
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lasset:
Sorry for my delay to send feedback. I got problem to send post and Quick Replay.

I did a dirty flashing of your rom to my Z Tablet running CM 10.1 and after a few FC to start with, everything now is running fantastic. Smooth, fast, stable and I have not found any bug. Excellent!!

I`m running PacMan rom at my Experia Z so I can compare and I say both roms seams to be solid stable builds. Great job! Thanks

Fantastic news! Now if only ir would work it'd be perfect!

Feedback on "pac_pollux_windy-nightly-20131104.zip":

Even though the file is smaller I don't see much difference from my last nightly.

PROS:

- Tablet is running very stable. No crashes or bootloops.

- Power-off charging bug is fixed!

- Somebody also mentioned problem with mounting USB external storages but I cannot confirm that. I just tested it and it works perfectly for me.

CONS:

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

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

- After a reboot the battery reading in the lockscreen always shows "Discharging 100%."

I cannot really say anything HDMI since I never used it and I don't even have the cables to test it. Sorry :(

If you install this nightly you get Bluetooth and multi-user included and working ;)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] be7ery:
hey!!

i Can swap SD in this rom ?! :)

Feedback on "pac_pollux_windy-nightly-20131105.zip":

Same as 20131104.

PS: Only one minor improvement I noticed a couple of nighties back but forgot to mention: The function to invert the volume rocker according to the tablet orientation works more consistently now being also applied to Apps that have independent volume controls.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] LeBoy:
Feedback on "pac_pollux_windy-nightly-20131106.zip":

Either I had a really bad flash or this nightly is seriously buggy :( After flashing the system booted but all I have are the error messages below over and over and over again...

-------------------------------

<Error: Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped. Blame Tyler.>

<Error: Unfortunately, Nfc has stopped. Blame Tyler.>

-------------------------------

All I can do is click <OK> but then the message immediately pops up again. I cannot ever reboot the tablet... still trying to fix it... not good...

EDIT: I just managed to reboot into recovery via the lockscreen. I wiped cache and Dalvik and reflashed 20131106 again but the problem was exactly the same :( I then gave up and restored a last good backup. I'll not try to flash this nightly again and just wait for the next one.

Anyone else had this problem?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
Not exactly that problem but - I tried to download the 20131106 nightly and when I went back to my tablet about half an hour later, it said it had been unable to save the download (can't remember what the exact error was).

I haven't had time to try downloading again - but maybe that failure was a sign that the file is corrupted ?

UPDATE : I just had a look in the PAC ROM user forum - a few other people complaining of corrupt 20131106 nightly on other devices also.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] be7ery:
i don't know how to install cwm

i don't know how to install cwm ... i'm new noob in sony :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
Is there an estimate when there will be a switch to 4.4 kitkat? Did google release this allready or is it nexus 5 exclusive at the moment.

It would be extremely interesting considering the switch from Dalvik to ART seems to bring enormous performance increases. Better scrolling and the like.

Sorry about the noob question. I got no idea how people get the neccessary files to make custom ROMs.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
Looks like 20131107 build is broken (like 20131106) - so do not install it :eek:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pangiotis24:
Please can somebody with the 1105 nightly with the pollux windy sgp311 remove his sdcard,then go to recovery and tell me what it says on the install section(install from sdcard,install from sideload etc)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
I don't know about the Tablet Z, but I was running 4.4 on my Nexus 4 yesterday. It was an AOSP build by the ParanoidAndroid team. It installed & ran fine (but I only tried it for an hour because it had none of the PA stuff like Pie).

There is some stuff on the inter-web about Sony's schedule of 4.4 releases - but nothing very firm.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] LeBoy:
Install zip:

- choose from /sdcard

- - 0/

- - legacy/

- - obb/

- - +++++Go Back+++++

- choose zip from last install directory

- install zip from sideload

- toogle signature verification

- +++++Go Back+++++
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pangiotis24:
I asied because i have that no matter if i have sdcard inserted or not and sdcard is also not recognised by android.i have tried with two sdcards formatted in every possible format.is there a way to check if it is hardware error without flashing back stock sony rom?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] LeBoy:
If the external micro SD-card is inserted an extra last option should appear in the install menu:

- choose from /sdcard

- choose zip from last install directory

- install zip from sideload

- toogle signature verification

- choose zp from /storage/sdcard1

My 64GB micro SD-card is formatted with exFAT and I never had problems with any version of CyanogenMod or PACMAN. Before using it in this tablet I re-formatted the card using a regular Windows PC without the "Quick Format" option. It just took a very looooooong time to format.

HDMI output and video playback

Hi guys,

I want to buy the Xperia Tablet Z because of the hdmi output and I own a Xperia Z as well.

Does the hdmi output work after flashing PACMAN rom (sorry if it's a stupid question)?

And about video playback...are there things that's been changed like the quality when it's plugged on the tv (from stock to custom)?

How about the video decoder/rendering?

Sorry for all the questions. I know it's a good tablet. But I care more about the video playback. Because I watch lots of tv shows.

And I don't want to take a laptop with me every time :silly:

Hope someone can give me the last step or a kick to buy one ;)

Thanks :good:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] qshoo:
Maybe again a factory-reset is necessary as it happened from 10/18 to later versions?

[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] [-Amrish-]:
Look if you can't be a little helpful with the answer I want, then don't even reply. I could bring it up by myself as well. And don't even ask why I didn't do that in first place. Here's my answer...I didn't had much time due of work.

Anyways...my questions are PACROM RELATED.

Here's another thing for you.

I've always helped the users on xda. No matter how many times they've asked the question. I've been helpful like always.

You know what never mind...

Sent from my Xperia Z running PAC rom! pretty awesome ha?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
Tried a full wipe / factory reset and then installed 20131107 (& gapps) - still getting FCs:(

Looks like it's something more serious.

UPDATE: Just looked in the Nexus 4 PAC thread - seems the problem is coming from the CM builds, but the CM guys are too busy working on 4.4. So 20131105 is latest "stable" nightly.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] zeus2602:
Hmm, i am going to test the last CM.

EDIT: Until now, running without any problems.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
I may have misunderstood these posts from the Nexus 4 PAC maintainer :

I have just installed CM 10.2 20131107 nightly and as you say, it seems fine. Maybe the issue is a change CM have done that is conflicting with something in PAC.

I didn't have time earlier to download and flash CM - I just interpreted the above quotes as meaning CM was also broken.:rolleyes:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] nex86:
so as I read posts about problems here.. It is currently not recommended to use the latest nightlies of PAC?

I was using CM 10.2 before but I noticed a few bugs (FC when closing switch toggle configuration) and performance issues.

Stock 4.1.2 feels smoother when tasking between apps.

It runs much smoother on the new Nexus 7 even though both tablets have the same resolution, CPU and GPU.

I think there is a driver related issue.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
At time of writing, the last working PAC nightly was 20131105. I'm using 20131104 and it is very stable.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
20131109 nightly installed and no FCs :)

Can't see a 20131111 build - did you mean 20131112 ? (and even that is not there for pollux_windy:( )
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Vendetto:
Hello

Is it possible to flash this rom on an sgp321 lte version with locked bootloader ?

And sorry for noob question but what is pollux windy ? Is that my sgp321 ?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] morphisto:
sorry, yes it is the 20131112 and i have a pollux device
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
First : You can't flash this with a locked bootloader.

Second : If you're asking questions like "what is pollux windy", then I suggest you keep well away from doing any flashing until you have read a lot more about these devices and how root/unlock/flash them. Otherwie you will be back here in a few days asking for help with your bricked device;)

Installed nova prime but i lost the tablet UI up top. (the app drawer icon, google, mic, and menu).. Went into PA settings and tried all the UIs but none of them show it. What am i missing?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Apo11on:
Build versions do not seem to match between the OP, the download page and the About screen on the tablet - all 3 have different info.

OP: says build 23 is available

DL page: build 19 is the last one available there

About screen: says nightly 2013-11-14

Am I missing something? Is there another download link I missed? :confused:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] cantenna:
I like this rom, but I have tried a couple of different nightly, there seems to be something wrong with the recovery, your unable to do full wactory wipes on this recovery. For example if I wipe cache, Davila cache, then factory reset, flash new rom, I find some installed apps remain? Another example, on the most recent 19 nightly had an error stuck at starting apps had to reinstall ( wiped) before and in setting PAC in black was selected? Can you please switch recovery to twrp, it less buggy on this device I found
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Apo11on:
Why would you need ROM devs to switch recovery for you? Why can't you do it yourself? Get it here and follow two step easy instruction to flash it
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] cantenna:
Thank you for the tip. I thought kernel had to be integrated to recovery and consequently ROM specific. Does pacman ROM use the same kernel twrp uses?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
I can't answer your question directly, but I instelled TWRP ages ago using the instruction in the link above (from apo11on) and it has been working fine even after flashing many PAC nightlies.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] cantenna:
One more question mate, how do you installed supersu? Having problems getting it in.:confused:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Apo11on:
android.process.acore keeps crashing with the latest nightly on my XTZ with "blame Tyler" message - has anyone else experienced this? I'm thinking about restoring nadroid backup of the previous nightly, because I cant get rid of this...
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
the crash is due to the contacts data being corrupted

try clearing data for people app, otherwise restore a old backup
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Apo11on:
Thanks for the reply, but I dont have people app. This is a tablet, not a phone. I have Contacts app, but I've never used it and it shows to have 0 data and 0 cache size in app settings...

EDIT: my bad, People app is there, but it also has empty data and cache.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] qshoo:
I can only report that all nightlies up to latest version pollux windy 20131209 work well on my tablet. I use it for daily work and dev debugging.

:good: Thanks to the team and the OP :good:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Apo11on:
Ended up reverting back to previous nightly. Too many issues, not just android.process.acore crash. SD card permissions were messed up and couldnt be restored even with root, other apps crashing, etc' :(
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
seems like none of the other xperia tab z winner's are working on it any more

[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] skiwong20:
i can say this..as right now there arent really any huge improvement when it comes to bringing the sony ir blaster to aosp roms..the developer that started the project like most of the contest winner have left accept for are man Bluefalcon. multiwindow is cool dont know if pac will go that route. maybe one day
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bluefa1con:
multi window is in development thanks to xplodwild :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
Any point in downloading latest nightlies?

As CM10.2 & PA 3.9 (Android 4.3) development have stopped, and the PAC gerrit shows no significant commits for 4.3, is there any point in flashing the latest nightly builds :confused:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] hav0c:
Hi, is this ROM still continued? The nightly build seem to be the same every build.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mrjayviper:
seems like there is development but I don't think that multi-window feature has been merged yet. otherwise you will see it.

Stable Nightly

I'm on the nightly from 23rd December. Been using it since then and no crashes, random reboots or "blaming Tyler" messages :good: :victory:

Has anyone tried nightlies from January?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] qshoo:
:good: I'm on pollux_windy 20140107 and no complaints. All works well, also battery life is excellent, maybe because I have blocked all possible wakelocks in 'Settings/PAC-man/Wakelock Blocker'.

:confused: A question to the devs, as mentioned I blocked all wakelocks and 'Settings/Wi-Fi/Avanced Wi-Fi/Keep WiFi on during sleep' is set to never. Anyway the tablet continues to receive eMail messages, how is this possible?

[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] cantenna:
Viper4android install

How to: (not all of these steps may be req but this is what i did, clearly I tried everything but i did get it to work;)

im running pac_pollux_windy-nightly-20140116.zip

0) Nandroid backup

1) Install little kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2333826 and install TWRP recovery http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/185

2) Next switch to SuperSu instead of superuser#

a) Install SuperSu from play store. Choose normal install for SuperSu. then exit app. Then re-launch and choose to full un-root device. Next uninstall supersu.

b) Download SuperSu binary (CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP) from XDA http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053) and install it from TWRP recovery.

*if you decide to use the default clockwork mod recovery, then before the device reboots you will also get an additional prompt to reinstall root, just ignore that as SuperSu is already just been installed (the recovery wants to re-install superuser# and cant see that supersu is providing root)

*you will from now on also get this re-root prompt whenever exiting the default clockwork recovery, thats why i said to install TWRP with little recovery and recomend using this recovery instead.

3) edit build.prop

a) change:

lpa.decode=false

and add to the end/bottom of file:

tunnel.decode=false

lpa.use-stagefright=false

tunnel.audiovideo.decode=false

b) save and reboot

4) install Nobloat from playstore and delete DSP Manager, reboot.

5) download latest viper4android and install as a system app

launch and choose superior audio quality and reboot

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191223

6) launch app and choose compatible mode and reboot

7) start app and enable.

---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

also, side note on using little kernel you have to install gaps and use the play store once before installing little kernel otherwise you get a retry error when starting play store. if you get this error uninstal lk and reinstal gaaps
