When playing video from mx player runs smoothly.. Whenever I locks the screen or pause the video, It stops playing.. I ve restart d phn not play... Why is dat??

I think thr is a prob in video codec in Rom..Pls fix it :)

Hello,

I decided to try turning on NFC for the first time since I've installed this ROM on my Z1 about 3 or so weeks ago. Strangely, the NFC module in Settings turns on, but the module itself does not. Is this a bug of some sort, or am I the only one that is experiencing this?

Thanks.

Hi guys, i just need to know one thing before flashing this rom, is this rom stable and will installing the rom break my camera or reduce the quality of my camera, will i still be able to record 4k video and 1080p?? is there any way of getting cybershot camera in this rom
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ploopower79:
4k = no

1080p = yes

Quality = meh hard to say but I noticed a small decrease in overall quality but nothing crazy I use the Google camera when I'm on aosp ROM

Cyber shot camera from stock fw = no
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Jounsa:
Anyone?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ->---:
I found one small bug. Well, I think it is a bug. When switching GPS quality in quick settings menu, the tile flips but it does not show the setting (high precision, energy saving,..). It always stays at the same setting. In options menu it is shown correctly..
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Langes:
Switches form High Accuracy to Battery Saving for me as it should ... are you perhaps on a theme that may have missing resources?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ->---:
Maybe you are right. I use a theme. But as I wrote, after a reboot the correct GPS setting is shown. While it does not switch the setting as I could check.

May that be because I just update pac without wiping and the function was overworked once? Or can it be from a bug in the theme?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ->---:
I have now updated to PAC from 16th of January. PAC runs really very smooth and stable. Updating runs without problems. :highfive:

I am very proud to use PAC. Stay on that high level of quality. :good:

As suggestion I would mention to integrate some energy optimizing governors into PAC. I think that would be in terms of PAC - the best of many worlds. :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Aaskereija:
Using this Rom since newest build. And i never got such a good battery life combined with GreatDevs Kernel as with PAC :D

There are still some little bugs who are little annoying ("kill app with longpress back button" in developers option is completly useless if you activate "kill process" in PAC-Options > Navbar), but nobody is perfect and i love this Rom for its features :D
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ->---:
Go to PAC settings - buttons - buttons and layout. Choose the "back" button and define an action for long press (force close app).
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Aaskereija:
I did already, thats why i said, the option in developers option is useless and without any function ^^

I don't wanna make a bugreport or anything, i just noticed it
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] SafiXS:
The best rom since month for me. The main reason for this is the tinted status/navigationbar! I looking forward for a lollipop version with this feature included. Big thanks to the whole PAC ROM Team!
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Langes:
Although I must say, PAC LP is coming along nicely :) No tinted status/navigationbar yet (statusbar is tinted in the Google apps). I'll be sure to ask the devs about this.

Not sure if its real but i found a pac 5.0.2 rom for honami on a chinese site. cant test it for now since downloads from baidu are really slow.

EDIT: I downloaded (finally) and i flashed it. I'll post screens soon.

screens!

EDIT 2: It has some chinese bloatwere on it but i removed it. Uploading the zip to mega so u can try it too.

Camera, calls and wifi work. Didnt test anything else. Seems pretty stable and fast, it has some PAC options added to it too!

Download link: here

Instructions: Make a full wipe and flash the rom. Then flash lp gapps.

Rom was build by moonlight.

I tried to compile PAC from source and did not have any problems, but since today I get the following error message when trying to repo sync:

error: Cannot fetch Split-Screen/android_device_sony_msm8974-common
error: Cannot fetch Split-Screen/android_device_sony_common

Is there something I can do to fix this?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Langes:
Do you have the branch set to pac-5.0?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Abomb:
Yes, I even started fresh and followed the guide from here: https://github.com/PAC-man/android_vendor_pac/blob/pac-5.0/docs/PrepareForBuildLinux.md , but still the same error.

Edit: I did dome "research" and I think I narrowed down where the problem is coming from. The roomservice.xml in .repo/local_manifest specifies Split-Screen for all dependencies, but the two that give me the errors use "cm-12.0". I guess that should also be "pac-5.0"? Or should those two still use CyanogenMod instead of Split-Screen?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Langes:
All Split-Screen repos use pac-5.0
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Abomb:
I tried around a bit but can't get it to work. so schould the two repositories android_device_sony_common and android_device_sony_msm8974-common in the dependencies use pac-5.0 instead of cm-12.0?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Langes:
Yes they should, my bad. I've pushed a fix to PAC gerrit, thanks for pointing that out to me.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] yoorie016:
Stable Driver?

Just asking if there are version of this ROM is stable? can you give me some good and downside points when using this ROM? esp for the following;

4. Recommended Kernel

PAC 5 Released

PAC 5 released, follow the link in OP to get yours (still in the same place as always) :)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ->---:
In all of the former ROM releases, any ROM, I was able to put in some modifications into the zip file. Things like individual bootanimations, sound mods or fonts. In the new zip there is only one huge dat file which seems to replace the former folder structure. Is that file modable in some kind of way? Like with a software tool or something else? Or is there another easy way to put in modifications? Compiling the ROM does not count as easy way.

Updated Review

are there any reviews with this beta release?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Langes:
Basketbuild has a review: https://basketbuild.com/
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] jenova941:
Very nice ROM, loving the smoothness. Just needs an option to allow custom navbar buttons. By the way, the display seems to stick a bit every now and then, but locking and unlocking the device seems to resolve it. Can you guys kindly look into these matters? :)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] SafiXS:
I'll test it tomorrow. Thank you very much for your efforts! I'll report back if it will work or not. Do you think PAC devs will include this mod if its work?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Langes:
I will merge it if I get positive feedback ;)

That folder also has a full build with an f2fs enabled kernel, so no need to flash only the kernel.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ->---:
This f2fs is a format system similar to ext4 or ntfs, isn't it? Is it possible to change from the standard ext to this without loosing any data (simple zip flash in recovery like when updating)? :confused:

I have some questions and some feedback for the normal LL nightly from 13th :) :

- I get flickering in the taskbar on the left side where the symbols of the running background apps are located. This happens when file operations are active (downloading, installing, updating ebook catalogue,..). The symbols then jump so fast that they seem to blur and overlap.

- Will the "change sound mode" tile for the fast settings menu be integrated? Or is it already in and I just did not find it?

- Is there an option tu use the "focus" button for activating the screen? I want to extend the life of the power on/off button as far as possible.

- Auto brightness sometimes reacts a bit humpy. As if it can't decide to rise or lower brightness and tries both at once. Not in a wide range but noticeable.

- Is it possible to put the "lock screen" function to the lockscreen? So I can take a quick look and lock afterwards without having to wait for autolock again. I found many functions, also some of the system that can be put into the corner quickstarts, but I did not recognize the lock screen function. Maybe it is there but is called as some system function.

- How do I deactivate the list for the background running apps (fake GPS, snoopsnitch, adblock,..) on the lockscreen? It would be nice to have message and call notifications here, but the rest disturbs me.

The system is now running for some hours. Let's see how it is doing further. For now it is running stable and the update process from last KK version was very easy. :good: Just the bootanimation was shown a bit longer than usual when I started the first time. Maybe you should mention this in the first post. Because of some hanging tries of ROM updates in the past the one or other (including me) could think the process was unsuccessful. :eek:

I also tried the hint from optimumpro, but the modified system did not install in recovery. It stops just when it comes to "updating system". There were no errors on Mint when running the commands and creating the files. Maybe I changed to much. :confused: Deleted most of the wallpaper apps, velvet and mail programm and implemented Xperia fonts and touch tone and my own bootanimation. Next time I will try to use SlimGAPPS as vehicle for them. They are not compressed to a dat file within the zip.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] SafiXS:
Hey Sir Langes :)

f2fs work with ur kernel. Thank you so much for your effort. And big sorry for delay, had a hard working week

Edit: maybe you can merge the kexec hardboot too in this kernel :)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Langes:
Thanks for testing :good: Next nightly build will have it ;)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ->---:
As mentioned I used SlimGapps package as vehicle for bootanimation, ui sound and fonts. It works without problems.

Edit: I tried to raise ring tone volume during the mobile rang, but at the first press of the volume up button the ringtone was silenced and did not come back until the next call. Somebody else having that?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ahzhang452:
I updated from 4.4.4 to the latest nightly, when I click on a contact to call, it turns into a number when it is ringing, likewise when somebody calls me, the number shows up instead of the contact name, this didn't happen in 4.4.4, ideas?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] kareem19:
Screen shots and more info about the new beta version pls ?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] kentexcitebot:
This is a great ROM. I've flashed and tried it for hours on end and I'm very happy with it. However, the thing that's stopping me from using it over Resurrection Remix is the lack of Color/KCAL (Contrast, Saturation, Value) control. Flashing RR kernel helps, but...it'll be nice if that feature is implemented in PAC's Kernel.

Also, Settings crashes every bootup and Vibration intensity in PAC crashes Settings, but that's not a problem for me.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] jenova941:
It should be noted that the battery life has been consistently abysmal though. :\ Phone conks out in about 12 hours, not even on 3G.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Langes:
Settings crash at boot is linked to crash in vibrator settings (sepolicy), the fix will be in tomorrows build.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ahzhang452:
Update:

SMS messages also show up as numbers instead of contacts, this is getting pretty annoying, any fixes?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Langes:
This is not happeneninh to me :( did you factory reset before installing?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ahzhang452:
Nope, direct update from 4.4.4, only cache wipe.

Anyway, figured it out, removed my google account, wiped the data of "Contacts" and "Contacts Storage", resynced my google account and all is good :good:
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] SafiXS:
Hey Langes, thank you for the support first! Would you be able to merge some useful faux stuff inside the kernel? I really miss soundcontrol and the intelli things. Slim had something implemented of this stuff in the kernel. That would be so cool :)

Thanks in advance dude

You will need to flash the original stock rom to update those. No modified versions.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Markieboy:
Will I loose root if I do then...?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
Yes you will, but it doesn't matter. Because after it has booted and updated the stuff, you go to fastboot mode and flash the boot.img from PAC again and then boot to recovery. There you do a factory reset and flash PAC zip and GAPPS.

NOTIFICATION:

​

For upgrading to nightlies OR custom builds AFTER 1020 (Oktober 20) you wil need to do a full WIPE in order to upgrade succesfully! There has been a major framework change in PAC which requires you to do that.

So, backup your stuff, do a factory reset in your recovery, and flash ROM + GAPPS again.

In that way you can enjoy the ROM without problems!

Any screen freezes on the latest build?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ->---:
Not here. But some apps do not work proper.

- I tried the FMRadio. It starts, but does not enter the user interface. It looks like the app is trying to open its surface but can't get completely on. So it oscillates in a state between trying to open and final state. It was also not possible for me to force it down with the back button. Just opening the recent apps and killing it there worked.

- The pre installed music app does often skip titles. I do not know why, because on KK all of them worked.

- I am not able to use walkman app, but maybe it is not prepared for LP yet.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Langes:
I've been using Spitit FM (free version found here on xda) and it works way better for me.

See if you can get logs of the music skipping ...
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ->---:
Thx. I will try that.

I recognized the skipped music titles somewhat after timestamp 17:10. Is that kind of log useful (System Tuner) or are there specialized apps which do the job?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Langes:
The log starts at timestamp 7:15 did you maybe upload the wrong one?

You can use CatLog for logs, set the log level to "Warnings" This will filter out info messages, gives us less to search through :)

Saved logs can be found in Internal storage under the catlog folder
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ->---:
No no, the app just logs for a longer time. It seems to log really all the system is doing.

I now tried SpiritFm and it works without problems. [emoji106]
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ->---:
I now have some logs where I just listened to music and read ebooks. Prestigio crashed nearly every time I put it from background to foreground. Music app had several bugs (jumping music titles,...) specially in music2 log near the end of the log.

Edit: Tried the [5.0+]Xperia_Z3_WALKMAN_v3.5_Beta_By_ibanez7 package. But walkman also has errors with music files.
