Tough question. I sold my original nexus 7 few months back in preparation for the new one. So for me its 100% worth it lol. Kind of hard for me to judge it the old model BC I don't have them side by side.

Buy I will say this thing is FAST. Screen is amazing, absolutely love it. Was thinking I would hate the space above/below the screen, don't mind it. Definitely thinner tho, its noticeable, also smaller side bezel is nice. One thing not getting a lot of attention is the speakers are definitely a step up from the original which were just poor.

Really the big thing for me is the screen, it really is a big improvement. Absolutely beautiful.

Is it worth it? Who knows, I say yes. I mean at the price it was hard to say no. If you have the original and your happy with it the new one isn't going to be anything ground breaking. But if you have the cash, it is a worthy upgrade.
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
Thanks for the quick review. I really don't have a lot of use for a tablet myself, I have my laptop with me almost all the time and I don't mind carrying it (even though it's a 17" MBP), but I have been considering using a Nexus 7 as Nav/Media in the car. I've seen several people with a Subaru Legacy do it on theirs and it seems to fit very well. In that case the screen wouldn't really matter that much and doing a quick search on craigslist I found a 16 GB for $100. With what you said, it seems like a no brainer to get the first gen.

Apologies for the off topic discussion. To bring it back to CM, I am currently building a copy myself. Thanks to mithun I got my Ubuntu VM ready for compiling and it's CCing away. :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] mithun46:
Guys new build uploaded with a lot of changes and the most talked about feature Focal :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] Rodrigo Vilhena:
On old version I have the same SMS problem, and a bluetooth problem.

Did you guys tested the bluetooth?

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia ZL] jug6ernaut:
Heads up to everyone, new build fixes SMS bug, and my new daily driver is born!(not that i wasnt already using it hehe).
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
LOL That's good to know. SMS were the only reason I went back to my PAC Linaro build Were you able to run the SIM Number Changer on this build? The app kept FC on me on the first build.
[Sony Xperia ZL] jug6ernaut:
I have been able to run it on all builds. Did you have the xposed app installed?
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
I did. I'll have to try it again.
[Sony Xperia ZL] jug6ernaut:
Ok, it needs root BTW. if it doesnt work let me know, ill grab my apk's and post them. I had to fix a bug in Sm Number Changer to get it to work for me, was crashing on start. But i let the dev know and i believe it was fixed.
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
That might be why it was failing on me. I did have root, but, I can't remember if I was asked to grant it root. I'll test and get back to you.
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
I just discovered Focal and I love it! It's SO fast! Best camera app I've used on the ZL. The latest build is working great (I actually built my own this time! :P)
[Sony Xperia ZL] mithun46:
Awesome man .. Congratz..
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
Couldn't have done it without you! Thanks for all the help. :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] mithun46:
That's what friends are for ;)
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
I was finally able to run Sim Number Changer. I had the wrong version. For some reason when I downloaded it, I got 1.1, when I went back to the thread I saw 1.2 was available, and that one worked perfectly. Now I can use group messaging :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] jug6ernaut:
Awesome!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Rodrigo Vilhena:
New build working fine so far.:good:

SMS Fixed. But bluetooth still not working fine! When I try to hear some music, it start to play and than the player is working but I can't hear the music! :silly:

Some one has tested?

Thanks! :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
Multi part SMS are broken for me but bluetooth music streaming is working fine. It was stuttery in the last one but very smooth now
[Sony Xperia ZL] Rodrigo Vilhena:
You are right, this morning I conected the bluetooth again and it worked just fine! :highfive:

One question, I did not founded how to save the Focal or cameras files on External Sd, is that possible?

Thanks a lot!! :cool:

Edited:

One more thing, I can't find Agenda to sinc on google account!!

Please could you guys see if you have that?

Thanks again!!
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
You mean Calendar? CM includes their own but you can download the Google Calendar separately if you wish.

I don't know about options for Focal, but since it's a relatively new addition, I would think it's all a work in progress and it might come soon.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Rodrigo Vilhena:
Thanks dude, I thought I had it installed but it was not. :silly:

I installed now and, every thing is fine again! :laugh:

I thought titanium had it on backup, but it was not.

Thanks a lot for your attention.
[Sony Xperia ZL] runnin_miles:
Looks promising. I wanted to stay on stock for a little longer but this ROM and PAC make it hard not to flash. And I thought my flashing days were over when I dumped my Galaxy SII and got my XZL. :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] yvesfg:
I was experiencing some FC in display when write in Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp.

[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
UN-BE-LIE-VA-BLY AWESOME! I can't get over what a HUUUGE improvement 4.3 is over 4.2.2. I watched a lot of videos of the new nexus 7 and everybody raving over the speed improvement. And I'm DEFINITELY experiencing those benefits. Its amazing. Makes iOS look twitchy, lol. Thanks for working on this. I'm usually a fan of stock. I had honami for the last little bit. But this smoothness is gonna keep me around for a while. I'm experiencing less than awesome battery life. But I do t have access to the power management stuff Sony implemented. And they actually work very well. But I'm underclocked now, and it seems marginally better. I'll just have to adapt. Thanks again .
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
In case anyone is having trouble finding the "performance" menu, (I know I did), you have to tap on the build number a few times to enable developer options, and you'll see it there. Hope it helps someone.
[Sony Xperia ZL] mithun46:
Makes me feel good!

Any guys want AOKP android 4.3??
[Sony Xperia ZL] tasty_boy:
the link is sooooooooo slow...cant download that!!

please, share another links!!!!!
[Sony Xperia ZL] mithun46:
Unfortunately I can't. I need to keep track of downloads. Any1 is free to make a mirror
[Sony Xperia ZL] darkevangelion:
Excuse me, the last nightlys works for daily use?

And whats bugs are more anoying on this builds for use?

Thx for the answers :3
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
I've been running for a couple of days and the only bug I know of is multi part SMS are broken.

It is silky smooth and a HUGE improvement over any other ROM I've used on this phone performance wise. I highly recommend it.

The SMS bug has been fixed and a new build will take care of that.
[Sony Xperia ZL] mithun46:
And the new build is uploaded
[Sony Xperia ZL] stargazer715:
Mithun46

First of all, thank you for this wonderfull rom. I have no problems with the second build. Only calendar sync. But I fixed downloading google calendar from play store. With the las build I lost recovery. But extracted boot.img from your previous build and flashed via fastboot. Everything else its working perfect! Te rom feels ao smooth. Even xposed framework in working fine in this build!! So i can change per app dpi! :thumbup:
[Sony Xperia ZL] mithun46:
You will lose it. cdesai fixed it. He pushed to gerrit. Its under review. Till then you guys can fastboot and flash this - http://d-h.st/aIV
[Sony Xperia ZL] shivindera:
I didnt get it... In the last build... the boot.img does not have recovery or is there something else giving a problem?? o.O
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
Is multi part SMS fixed in the latest build?
[Sony Xperia ZL] b0bness:
^ THIS. I love cm 10.2 so far but I like my ribbons too much to switch over for good haha
[Sony Xperia ZL] darkevangelion:

I want my center clock back!!! Lol
[Sony Xperia ZL] tasty_boy:
when i receive calls while im listening music in any player...

i cannot hear anyone and people can't hear me too...

thats annoying
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
Is this on the phone speaker or a headset? I can use bluetooth without a problem.
[Sony Xperia ZL] tasty_boy:
through the speaker it works, but on a handset it doesnt...
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
I think that's a known bug from 10.1. Sounds familiar.
[Sony Xperia ZL] mithun46:
Guys I have no PC now. So development Stopped. Though I have compiled a DooMKernel when I had PC. Am on CM10.2 so I can't test. If some1 willing to test on latest stock Sony firmware please add me - mithuncursed4eva@gmail.com
[Sony Xperia ZL] nX3NTY:
I'm still on stock ROM, you can PM me the files. I'm willing to be your tester :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
I just compiled a new build. Recovery has been fixed.

You can look at all the latest commits here: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:merged+branch:cm-10.2,p,0026dbb20000b795

Download from here: http://d-h.st/eGJ

Same instructions as OP. Flash zip from recovery, flash gapps and superSU zip. You can dirty flash over your current version, but you will still need to install gapps and root zip.

Mutli part SMS are working from the stock messaging app, but broken in Chomp.
[Sony Xperia ZL] mithun46:
Guys SuperSU fix not needed. To fix root goto Developer options --> Root-Access and change to adb and apps to fix root
[Sony Xperia ZL] mithun46:
New build uploaded

Safe to flash and has no issues and the battery reading error fix is included
[Sony Xperia ZL] tasty_boy:
hey, u have posted about a new build...

these builds have an issue: when listening music in headphones and someone calls u, u cannot hear and the ppl cannot hear you, this is solved??
[Sony Xperia ZL] mithun46:
The only way to check is flash and see. As you see I compile from stock cm source. So its up to cm to fix fix it and not me. But there is a commit to Apollo music player AFAIK. Don't know weather it fixes or not
[Sony Xperia ZL] Rodrigo Vilhena:
I have had that problem on old build too, I just flashed the new one this morning and did not tested the bluetooth yet, I will do that in few minutes on my way home.

But on old version, you just needed to turn bluetooth of and on again and that problem was gone.

It hapened on first pairing wiht the device. After I did that I did not had problems listening to my music any more.

Try that.

I'll test new build and give a feed back in few hours.

Thanks mithun46, for the great job here.

Edited: I've just tested. It is working just fine on last build. No Bluetooth problem on music or phone call.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
Found a bug. While hunting for easter eggs in the settings menu, I found out that tapping on SELinux status too many tines rests in a soft brick, requiring the use if the yellow reset button to get out. Just thought I'd mention it. Silky smooth otherwise.

is it FM radio not really working or i just dont know how to get it work...:)

and about the white balance display on stock zl? can we use that here?

thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia ZL] mithun46:
New Build Uploaded :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] kuramaenvy:
Thanks man your the best
[Sony Xperia ZL] devilsshadow:
FM radio works but you need to be careful with it because it's not that stable. First of all when you start the app you select your region from the settings then you press the refresh button and you don't touch anything else until you can see the stations. The thing about the FM app is, if you have your headphones plugged in, the moment you start the app it will automatically start scanning for stations. Any attempt to do anything else while it's scanning will result in a crash of the app. Once it's done scanning and it gives you the stations it's safe to to whatever you want. Note that when you exit the radio app and open it again, you will have to let it scan again. In short, when you start the app, click the refresh button, it will tell you that it cannot start the scan but that's normal. Wait for about 30 secs and then you should see the stations.
[Sony Xperia ZL] kuramaenvy:
ok ill try to run it again thanks man

i press the thanks button ^^

WiFi borked with latest 8/8/2013 build :(. Flashing the 8/5/2013 build brought it back.
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
Here's a CM 10.2 build for 0809. This one has a minor fix for the backlight. The range is slightly wider than the previous values, so auto backlight works better in my opinion. I just checked and WiFi is working, but bluetooth A2DP is broken (as it was in previous builds apparently) and causes my phone to freeze and reboot.

Please check it out if you get a chance and let me know what you think of the brightness. I'm still looking into it to figure out why the adjustment only works in the upper half of the range.

Download Here
[Sony Xperia ZL] jellydroid13:
Bluetooth and Wifi are both working great for me on the 8/8 build
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
WiFi is working for me too, but this morning it wouldn't connect to my home network complaining it was a poor internet connection (the laptop was doing fine) but connected just fine after I came back from walking the dog. It's been connected at work all morning.

The Bluetooth issue is when the screen is locked and you're playing audio. Calls work fine, but I've had several times where the phone crashes when playing music. I saw some merges on gerrit about bluetooth lockup fixes for HTC m7s, not sure if issue stems from the same problem on ours.
[Sony Xperia ZL] kumar abhishek:
Just few launcher fcs and everything else working completely fine. Very smooth rom ;)

Gr8 work :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
Here's a new build from a few hours ago. Made another change to the brightness and now the slider is able to get much lower brightness levels.

The CM Auto Brightness is broken because the levels are too low, but if you adjust them you can get a working auto brightness (I'm using Lux, but before this fix I wasn't able to go down a lot in brightness).

Includes latest merges up until around midnight UTC 8-08-13.

Download CM10.2-20130808-BLFix

Bluetooth A2DP still broken

Hi There,

Hmm just out of curiosity: Has Sony released their Camera docs and sources like they promissed?

New CM 10.2 nightly build including my backlight fix

2012-08-13
[Sony Xperia ZL] mithun46:
OP updated with official GApps for 4.3 link
[Sony Xperia ZL] rbulbow:
Is it just me or Terminal seems to be broken?

I mean, I couldn't edit files using vi and 'Control + T' doesn't work for command completion, for instance.

And about the AOSP camera, it still lacks the option to save pictures on the external sdcard, right?

Thanks everyone!

Ron
[Sony Xperia ZL] mithun46:
For terminal goto Developer options-->root access And change to apps and adb
[Sony Xperia ZL] rbulbow:
Thanks for the prompt response mithun46, but I tried that before my first post.

Anyway, I renamed the 'Term.apk' app and downloaded the one from the Play Store (hoping to solve this problem I had with the S3 in the past which worked) but, for some reason, Terminal is behaving exactly the same way.

I'll Google this a little bit more and try something else.

If I can figure out something, I'll let you know.

Thanks!

Ron
[Sony Xperia ZL] mithun46:
Cool!
[Sony Xperia ZL] devilsshadow:
Did it get merged?

EDIT:

never mind, forgot which rom thread this was. Still you should submit it for official CM inclusion.

Sent from my C6503
[Sony Xperia ZL] rbulbow:
I've downloaded the 'latest' nightly (20130824) and the AOSP camera now gives you the option to choose where you want to save pictures & videos (internal storage or sd card).

This issue can now be checked!

About the terminal thing, no luck yet (had to use other methods to accomplish what I wanted), but that's ok.

CyanogenMod team rulez!
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
I'm not completely happy with it to submit it. Has anyone else tried it? It makes the range much bigger but the auto adjustment values need to be edited manually. And then the range for the auto adjustment is off and it still makes auto adjust buggy. I'm still looking for a better solution. If anyone wants to try it, I'll be happy to upload a CM 10.2 build from today with the fix. I usually build my own and that's what I use as my daily driver.
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
merdem on the Z thread confirmed that they have graphic glitches on the CM 10.2 nightlies, so this looks like a fusion3 issue.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Guanfy:
Not sure if this thread is dead or not, but I am noticed on every 10.2 nightly build that I have downloaded that torch is not working. It crashes if you try to activate it from it's quick setting tile or if you open the app and try to turn it on manually. Is anyone else having this issue?
[Sony Xperia ZL] einfachgaer:
Yes same issue and because of that I'm simply using Sony's stock torch app. Working without any problem.
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
Yes, I have the same issue. Not sure how long it has been happening since I don't use Torch often, but it is a bug on the 9/04 build.

It might be broken on all 10.2 builds due to changes in Android 4.3
[Sony Xperia ZL] devilsshadow:
It was broken on official cm nightlies too a few days ago when I checked it. Guess CM has bigger issues to address.

I've just got an MDA3. Is the battery life really that bad? With wifi/bluetooth off, radio on, backlight on maximum, writing for 25 minutes constantly to SD-card (making a backup), it went down from 100% to 88%. Also, does anyone have experiences with the mugen extended batteries?...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] joey jojo:
usually lst a bit longer if u turn the backlight down to lowest without turning it completly off. only use things when u relly have to. and if u travel get a car charger, its a real lifesaver. dont use vibrate cos that uses a lot of power, its the screen that uses the power the most,i find that if i turn the battery meter off that my battery also lasts a little longer. the other day i used wifi for a minute,and i forgot to turn it off, within an hour i lost 60% of battery power.

and id like to har more about extended batteries!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] troppo1:
I always turn off WiFI and BT when not in use, stanby mode ( phone on unit off) I get all day out of one charge. But start playing games or internet with WiFI and I'm lucky to get 2hrs out of 1 charge. I also use an auto charger and have a seperate USB sinc/charge cable with power connector to recharge at work.

1 of the downsides of the Qtek, but it is better than the iPAQ 2210 that I had before.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] bfaber:
I purchsed an Mugen extended battery from Lion Battery http://etxquc.simplyonline.com/

I got a version 2 2200mAmp battery and it works fantastic. There are a subset of people that have had problems with the battery, but Lion has been great about exchanging them without complaint.

There's a version 3 coming out thats 2400.

I say well worth the cost myself. Its taken my Sprint 6600 from a recharge once a day minimum to a 2-day pda.

Hello [MENTION=5340655]gopineom[/MENTION],

The best place I have found is on AppBrain. Their list of active ad networks not only break down the top 60+, but you can dig into them a little deeper by seeing what category of apps people are using. This is an indication of the success of those category per each network (http://www.appbrain.com/stats/libraries/ad), not saying others wouldn't work, I just use it as a guide.

I am actually curious your successes on the networks you mentioned, and why you would be looking at others?

Thanks!
