Look at the first page..

-It seems like there are broghtness issues at minimum brightness?!

It turns randomly to higher level.

-camera app crashes when open last pictures (galery fc).

-PAC console has FC's (OTA)

-Camera takes long to start

-Is slower than alpha1

-Reboots when playing Facebook videos

+rom is stable enough

+recent apps maneger looks great

+nice animations

+very adjustable

+lots of features

It's worth to check this rom :thumbup:

Sry for my bad english :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] witti96:
The OTA function is pretty much useless in my builds, because i can't use it. I think its only for official maintainers.

I thought it is exactly the opposite :D The AOSP cam crashes most times for me and Focal just needs a few seconds and works fine after that.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tania247260:
I like new pac very much but camera and video playing a problem
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] djees:
Is anyone tried to apply a theme and reboot without bootloop ? It's the only issu for me

Now New test so I follow installation instruction install rom+gapps and reboot the Pink Led Turn on then stuck on boot logo any solution ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
That's the reason (one of many) why we stopped official PAC development for XS.

PAC ROM is specific and full of various features and implementation of all that in a 4.3 without proper sources and drivers is almost impossible.

As you now and can see here too, for example you built and fix camera bugs and bump into 1px mirroring bug, you fix HW overlays and your games or HDMI stop working.

I'm very happy to see some other guys are trying to do best of this ROM and I wish you success.

It's good you wrote "alpha" in title while you trying to fix those GPU drivers issues.

You could build ROM with fixed HDMI and camera but, for now, you should skip all apps and features which makes PAC - PAC, you have sources for that (Raymans) but, as I said, PAC would become "only" openSEMC clone ;)

Good luck [MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] :thumbup:

Format all and flash only ROM.

Restart and then check if ROM boot.

Don't flash ROM and gapps in one step, let the ROM settle down for a bit.

If that won't do the job then fastboot kernel from ROM or even different kernel for 4.3.

Sometimes, especially if you coming from stock/stock based ROMs, kernel doesn't flash like it should so fastboot is recommended.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] djees:
Thanks funky like always I miss PAC à lot

I Will try this night I'm on MIUI for now
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] witti96:
Beta 1 released :)

Hi guys :)

I think this build should be stable enough to call it a beta. :) It's using the new CAF kernel made by RaymanFx and think the performance has improved a lot with it. There are still problems with video playback, but you can play videos from your sdcard with MXplayer.

So here you go: http://d-h.st/sjm

I will add bm_native and loop in the OP later.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tebra:
I will try this one but is it Youtube app working or no video at all?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] witti96:
Youtube and the gallery video playback are not working for me, but MX Player works fine.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zaidx:
thanks

waiting for native package:D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] witti96:
Sorry, but I can't provide it for you, because my repacks aren't working. I thinks thats related to the new kernel.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tebra:
beta 1 boot and very fast

HDMI reboot my phone when cable is connected.

How to make a log?

App preview (from long press on home button) are scrambled

Subway surf let me on a black screen forever (but don't FC)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] witti96:
His latest commit is not included. Everything else he pushed today is in branches, which i don't use.

Edit: If you want to compile a build with the latest sources have a look at my github :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dreezz:
I gave this beta a try, but had a couple of freezes, and after the third time I gave up.

Problem with restoring app2zip apps (via recovery)...after install the system hangs at the Pac Rom logo, doesn't boot any further.

Same thing happened after another clean install, trying to replace the font via font installer root... reboot... stuck at Pac logo.

Too bad, the rest looks very promising!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] witti96:
I just changed my font with the same app. You have to wait a few minutes on the kernel boot logo and it will work after that. I also know this error from dirty flashes. Maybe your app2zip backup will work too after a few minutes of waiting?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tebra:
Here is the logcat for HDMI reboot
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dreezz:
Yep, flashing app2zip and installing a different font took a long long time rebooting. but, in the end it worked and now I'm back at my my favorite Rom, thanks!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] witti96:
Thanks! But I think i can't do much against this bug. I think its kernel related and i don't know that much about these kernel things.

Nice to hear that its working now :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dreezz:
sync is on, as always, but...

gmail, whatsapp and others are not synchronised (even though the sync mark is green).

last sync was yesterday (after install), so no messages came through after that. :confused:

what can be wrong?

(phone has been on charger all evening/night, as always)

+

many many options, but where is the energy widget in settings?

(maybe too many options, so i overlook? :eek:)

edit: sync seems to be ok now. weird that no updates were there during the night... (even though there was mail + whatsapp messages)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] elias234:
app preview at task switcher are scrambled , taking photos and going to gallery to preview them make phone to reboot , uncompatible gpu drivers (a lot of games don't work ) , camera have a delay before launch , no video play back ( except by mx player which is annoying ) , no hdmi working

i think it is early to change from alpha to beta

Thanks n saludos.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] witti96:
Yes.. This happens after ~2 days of usage.

I'm sorry. I think I did not test it enough before I released it.

I am using a new build right now. I will upload it if it's working better than the beta1 build.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] elkadeho:
as i use it only for some hours i cant give a real overview, but i can say most works ;) the cam takes like 4 sec to start - i think its the main issue. GPS is very fast (my opinion), browser (stock) superfast :) just try it (but remember it brings a twrp recovery).

i m sure the others here know more n better, but so u dont have to wait so long.

greetz

edit: guess its known, but the recent apps grafics is meesed up (kinda scratched) but doesnt effects the usability.

USB connection breaks down, no logcat possible

Hello,

I think this rom is a nice piece of work, so I'd like to contribute a little bit.

I am getting a lot of FCs on random apps (also the avast antivirus), and I'd like to send you a logcat of these FCs as I think it has something to do with the general RAM management (just an uneducated guess ;) ).

Of course I don't want to use CatLog, as there are FCs on any running apps in case the FCs occur. But there is another problem which keeps me from trying over ADB: My USB connection breaks down after 30-120 seconds, no matter what OS I use (Linux, Windows, OSX). In such a case, the XperiaS device is simply not responding via the computer's file explorers any more, re-mounting it does not help. Only the physical disconnection and reconnection of the cable lets it come active on the computer side again - but only for a short time. So I think this freeze is caused on the mobile device's side.

Of course I followed the installation procedure from the OP and after the initial problems, I did a cache and dalvik cache wipe as well as fixed the permission - but the USB problem persisted.

So here comes my question:

Has anybody experienced the same USB problems and maybe even a solution to it?

I'd really like to help making this rom better!

me too :victory:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] witti96:
Sorry guys, I hadn't that much time the last days. Right now I am not able to get a build, but I'm doing my best.

It was always based on OpenSEMC sources. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jeremy0:
Finally, it's not very a problem. Alpha 1 has still some serious issues :). Take your time and release it when the source will be more stable...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] witti96:
alpha 3

I updated the OP and added alpha 3 :) Things like video playback and screenshots are now working. I decided to use the 211 camera blops, so the camera preview shows up faster, but full hd video recording isn't working. Focal has been removed from the official pac builds, because its available in the play store for everyone, thats why i removed it too.

witti
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mithab:
thanks op. will try out tomorrow :D

Unfortunitley gallery has stopped
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mithab:
when taking pictures? :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] witti96:
The picture gets saved anyway. Or use focal instead, it's working fine.

The much bigger problem is that I experienced the same bug, which some user with cm-10.2 had. I wasn't able to reboot without doing a factory wipe. I don't wanna test right now if this happens again, but beware of it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dev.7:
Task Killer doesn't clear all the running app when the kill all button is pressed.

Please remove the animations which are throughout the ROM if possible.

Video playback is bit laggy.

Please add HALO 2.0 for this ROM

PS-thanx for developing a 4.3 PAC ROM for our XS your effort is appreciate.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] witti96:
I wanna bring you PAC how it is and how it feels. So I won't remove the animations. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dev.7:
Thanx for the quick reply.

And what about the HALO 2.0 is it coming in the future.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] heross:
Hello,

is there any way to become fastcharge for this rom? The problem, without fastcharge the phone minimal discharge in my two cars when i use my navigations app. I think my 1000mA Car-USB was detected as a PC.

and one other problem which were already present in 10.1 Version of PAC:

-after 10-20 minutes running NavigonEurope app the SystemUi begin every few minutes ForceClose

New in PAC 10.2

-Apps in background will often quit, but the notification icon remains in the notificationbar. Thus one does not recognize the the app was closed and no longer works.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DrDeeXS:
Guys, is this ROM usable as a daily driver? Does video work in landscape mode now and are there any major bugs? The reason I ask is because I wanna shift to an AOSP based ROM from stock and I'm still not sure which one has the least bugs, cause I want to use it as my daily driver.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dev.7:
Its depend on what do u consider a daily driver mate.

I have tried the alpha 3 release.

The ROM is fluid but has some major bugs like the video playback, the dialer is crashing as in the above comment which would hopefully fixed in couple of updates.

These are the issues I have reproduced so can't say much about it ,its better if u try it yourself.

And if you need all games working properly switch to other stock ROMs.

And for a stable built for now use any custom 4.2.2 ROM for XS.

PS-Keep an eye on this ROM in a couple of updates this would be an amazing ROM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DrDeeXS:
Thanks a lot mate for the very detailed reply. But don't all the 4.2.2 ROMs have issues with video playback and display driver problems which prevent playing certain games and all that?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dev.7:
I have tried every 4.2.2 custom ROMs available for XS and video playback is totally fine with everyone but yes all games don't work the most famous is subway surfers.

I don't play games on my XS so I am OK with it .

But if gaming issue is sidelined these are some amazing daily drivers.

As I said its up to you what do u consider a daily driver

Yeah it's with giving it a try. PAC is a true custom rom, im loving it:)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] elkadeho:
totally agree with that. The only issue i had was the gallery FC, now i m using focal and quickpic and all is fine :good:

edit: faced the "com.android.phone" issue…and after some trying it seems its related to "pac in black" when i switched to pib the error appears, and after a restart and pib off, it works! anybody can confirm this?

By the way guys, I have to tell you that I've ordered a Nexus 5 and I don't know how long I will continue with this.

viper4android works :good:

for me reboot is ok. I have installed many apps which needs a reboot.

I think this is a new feature. for me only the last used app will doesen`t clear. I like it.

i can not confirm this. Phone/dialer and SMS here ok, with or without pac in black.

-also ok: receive mobile data and gallery

-the game subway surfer 1.11 don`t crash, but it come no sound and black screen. older versions are ok, tested with 1.9 and 1.8.1.

and now my problems: :)

-charging is very, very slow. When i surf in browser over wifi or play a game and charge over USB the accu drains 1% in 5-10 minutes and backside become more temperature as normal.

compared charge to Stock without fastcharge in idle: Stock = 300-350mA / PAC = 50-150mA :crying: why?

its a kernel problem, voltage settings very high, no fastcharge option

-"app info->permission->modify" doesn't work. (for almost all applications) it open only a new "app info" window.

-settings->security->app privacy->device = FC (see attached log)

-my barcode scanner app crash the cameradriver, first it lags, then green display and then no more camera viable. so i must reboot.

solved a other free barcode scanner works great

performance ok, accu drain ok, snap camera works, lenovo camera works. nice rom :good:

Good for You mate, not so good for us ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] witti96:
alpha 4

A new build is up: http://d-h.st/CDH

The main reason why I uploaded it is the better working video playback. Its not crashing anymore whren turning the phone in landscape mode. I thought that would be important for some users who want to use it as daily driver.

I think this should be fixed (but I cant guarantee), because it sounds like the same error like the video playback in alpha 3.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] heross:
:good::good::good::good:

You are a hero. I have tested with 3 Barcode Scanners, all works perfect now.

but the game Subway Surfer 1.11 does not work, only lower versions still work.

still remains the problem with the battery and very slow charging, especially bad is it with the USB connection. There is something better by undervolt the CPU. The problem, the kernel can be only set to 800mV, but the XS can 750mV without any problems.

I hope you found a way to become more undervolt and fastcharge to the kernel. Many car charger adapter will unfortunately only recognized as USB. Thus, a charge on travel often impossible.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tania247260:
Is the camera problem is solved??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] heross:
No, after two pictures Camera now Force Close. Same now with SnapCamera and the Lenovo Supercamera no longer works.

"Focal beta" from Store works great.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tania247260:
It is the same Problem.I have just installed it.No viber call
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Tyseyh:
with a full wipe and fresh install, i had issues with the camera app, even other camera apps Force Closing. Sometimes keyboards would just close too. its a shame, but from what i played with, it was a good ROM. Gone back to stock for now. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] heross:
I think this rom must necessarily be further developed. It is the first CM with acculife at same level as stock. :good: Flightmode=0,3%/h, WiFi+3g=1%/h, Display on(50%) in idle only 160mV needed and I think it is there further potential for improvement. (more undervolt)

the only problem i had on last Day is the f.... camera, all my apps crash after 1-5 shoots. I hope you get in the foreseeable future to run, then is a very nice daily driver.

good luck

edit: don`t forget fastcharge. is a must have with this slow charging kernel. :cool:

idea: why you not port this pac version to LeTama AOSP 4.3 as base? here is any thing ok, camera, charge, offline-charge works great.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hesaps1234h:
