that is fine blueeether,,,again this is the pacrom board and the poster (already talking about pacrom)..i just reminded him of the features that i thought were comprehensive..did not go to another board to diss another rom

to me..all of them race towards the same end point...some get ahead for the time being then someone else gets ahead..some get dropped (by devs) altogether but that is ok their prerogative

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 PM ----------

btw what time is it there in NZ? you reply a lot and seems you are up a lot...not that there is anything wrong in that

thanks for your work regardless of this little 'tiff' if you will

hey try to put twrp into your recovery..that will be great .a lot more convenient than cwm imo
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
All is OK, didn't see it as a tiff. Good discussion is what makes the internet the place it is :)

It's only 11 am atm, and yes I spend far too much time online.

I keep meaning to try and get dual recoveries into the kernels, one-day, maybe...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] luca_vivi:
Hy guys

It's ok for daily use this rom?

Important bugs?

i have lost network connectivity on flashing this ROM. any way out? :( :( :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] madsponge26:
Did you back up before flashing?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] yuvichb:
back up what?

:confused::confused::confused:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
everything...

Did you do a nandroid backup in recovery before flashing this ROM? if you did just restore that.

Did you doe full wipes when installing this ROM?

Have you tried an older version?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] yuvichb:
I did not make backups. But yes I have tried another version of this ROM before on another z ultra (the current device is a replacement). And yes of course I wiped everything. And now that the ROM hadn't worked, I'm back to the rooted 757 stock firmware.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] S.D.Richards:
Quick question: Just flashed the 06052014 nightly, which works great so far, but: it may be that I'm just blind, but where are the controls for PA's features? Mostly the custom dpi/mode per app stuff.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
Look around. ;)

Android 4.4 Paranoid Android is still in Beta, so none of it's key features have been released.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Spixe1:
This is probably a stupid question, but where'd you get the nightly for it? I checked the nightlies link on the main page post but the newest is the 4.3 build 1 2013 rom. Where are the updates?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mac231us:
thanks..

yes and gpe as well...

incorrect information on another thread that gpe was only for cm11 fxp and carbon..however my post with this link got deleted and the incorrect information post remains on that pa thread..preferential buddies club-go figure
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Spixe1:
Awesome, thanks to both of you for the links.

Someone asked another question awhile back but didn't get answered - are these releases, either the nightly or the official 12-13-13, pretty stable, or are there any major bugs one should be aware of? Appreciate the help thus far
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mac231us:
have used them off and on..no major bugs but then I am mostly concerned about call making/receiving, emails, active screen notifications, texting, mms, internet, youtube and some apps like tech blogs, ebay, paypal, feedly, engadget, flipboard, banking etc.

email and messaging have a bug (per my experience) (this I have experienced in all kk aosp/cm builds (all kinds of versions and updates) and think also on the kk stock rom) where if you replace a word when typing, it crashes the app (pacrom will have a "blame Tyler" error message...something they used to pin on some dev named Tyler as some internal joke I think).

update on 5/8 (and now 5/9) bumped up the file size by 5MB (not sure what got included).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Spixe1:
Good to know, although that bug does sound pretty terrible considering i use msging like mad. Maybe i can work around it.

One more quick question, the gapps link on the front page is gapps-jb-20130813-signed, should this work with the nightlies as well? Sorry but i just discovered this thread so im a bit outdated.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mac231us:
many places for gapps (you need 4.4 kk not 4.3 jb)

one is here

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Spixe1:
Flashed to the 5-8 nightly build and 4.4 gapps, nice and smooth so far but some controls crash out, particularly most of the PAC settings, like Themes, as soon as I click it (and then Theme Packs) it gives the error:

Unfortunately, PAC Console has stopped. Blame the Split Screen.

Clicking on other random settings result in the same thing. Just now, I click on the SMS icon, and it gave me "Unfortunately, Android Keyboard (AOSP) has stopped. Blame the Split Screen."

Is there a fix for all these blame the split screen bugs yet or is my phone just bugging out more than the average user?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mac231us:
Strange as I did not have so many issues. Yes themes do not get applied well or at all on this. I just dirty flashed the 5/9 version over another one that I use daily pretty much now for 2-3 weeks (but can only tell you in pm). I can go back and forth between the two-the pac and the other one without issues. (even though the other one is from March) Yes themes for one thing has changed I see (my March daily rom has the old themes setup)

edit: tried texting etc even after themes did the blame the split screen thing, and still no issues

(one thing is I usually go for minimal gapps though do not think it could be this (though I recall google+ giving annoying error of stopping-so just switched to minimal) and do wipe cache and dalvik after gapps install-install rom first then go back to recovery and install gapps then wipe cache+dalvik then reboot)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Spixe1:
I did the same as you about the flashing method, although I don't dirty flash just to be safe. But settings got more and more messed up as I went along. I did some notification bar customizing, and when i went out of setting to drop the bar and see how it looks, boom, split screen crash, some system com process that I couldn't catch, BECAUSE as soon as that message popped up, the screen turned black and wouldn't even turn back on. Had to cold reboot. Needless to see I was done testing it and flashed back to another another ROM.

I was using one of the newer nightlies, however, so I decided to give the official 4.3 build 1 rc another try - there was one "blame tyler" crash during install, but i've used it for a night and did a bunch of app recovery, etc, since and and so far its smooth and clean, no crashes. Even going into themes went well, though I've yet to play hard on it. All I can so is 4.3 so far so good, newest nightlies messed me up bad. I'm happy with 4.3 though, here's hopping it'll stay stable until official 4.4. Thanks for all the advice thus far mac.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Spixe1:
I'm having a weird problem with the navigation bar maybe someone can give me some advice on - or tell me if it's just a bug in general:

Under Settings > Pac-Man > Navigation Bar, I add another icon, specifically the Open IME Switcher as I need to switch between two keyboards very often and on the fly.

The problem is, after it is applies, every time I press it, it opens up the google search instead, sometimes both search and the switcher at the same time - either way kicking me out of app I'm using and thus being worthless. After some experimenting, I found that no matter what I set to open with an added nav button, it will open it AND google search, thus disrupting whatever is trying to be opened.

The only way I got it to work is by adding 2 buttons. By doing this, the 1st button will work, so the Switcher works as it should without google opening it, but the 2nd button will act like previously stating, opening google search and whatever is set up as the button at the same time. At least its kind of working, but having an extra worthless button there just to get the first one to work kind of makes it less "neat."

Any ideas or just a bug I've got to live with?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
The 5/25 build boot loops on my C6806, no matter whether I dirty or clean flashed.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] S.D.Richards:
Same for me.

Also, I downloaded this by hand/computer and transfered it over, for some reason the PAC downloader only downloaded a ~6kb zip, though that should be bigger, haven't updated in ~3 weeks.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mac231us:
yes same here
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I wonder if it is the same error I was getting on carbon on the weekend, I thought it was because I had changed OSs and the build environment, maybe it's a CM kernel issue...?

Edit:

I didn't include any new changes to my kernel (and there is only one commit outstanding anyway) so it's not the kernel, could still be the runtime
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
Latest build boots and appears to work correctly, had to remove and reinstate my main Google account after dirty flashing though.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cashif:
Hi!

Lost the signal, can you please tell what to flash to recover the signal. Tried flashing Boot.img from the ROM but didnt work:(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Not sure if this would be the same issue you are having, but may be worth a look.

Thanks but flashed C6833 FTF and tried again & it worked! (Was in C6802 before).

Now, a noob question, anyway to change dpi settings or do I have to go for xposed framework? Also, is there any way to reduce icon sizes?

Tethering doesnt seem to work; can anyone pls guide on how to make it work.

Saw a post in CM11 thread that you can make it work by removing all fields except APN in APN settings but am not able to edit those. Please help!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] lideweister:
Is this not maintained anymore? I'd be willing to do it, but I don't know how. Is it hard to learn? Anybody know where I can read/learn?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Triflot:
Yes, nightlies are posted here. I love this ROM.

If you wish to learn, maybe start by building CyanogenMod from source to learn the tools. Here's a step-by-step guide for the Z Ultra. Good luck!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] lideweister:
Thank you very much!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Triflot:
Actually, you're right. Looks like they removed our device from the building queue just 12 hours ago due to lack of a maintainer, together with a bunch of other devices. I don't know enough, myself, to be a maintainer, but perhaps someone does.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] lideweister:
I hope so. I used to run Pac rom on another device a while back and I really liked it. Besides, there's not too many options/roms for the Z Ultra so it would be nice to have one more.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SamEkinci:
Well this blows.... I just bought an xperia z ultra and was looking forward to flashing Pac..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Triflot:
I've built it from source and tested that it boots. If there's interest for it, I may do regular builds and share them in an unofficial thread. However, like I said, I don't know enough at the moment to properly maintain and support it for our device - just plain compiling from CM & PAC sources. :fingers-crossed:

I'm currently running cm11, can flash this via recovery?

I need to to all the wipes? And reflash the gapps?

I just flashed the Rom via TWRP, flashed Gapps direktly afterwards. well i just did like it said in the description basically.

Flash like any other ... now its dead. if i press the powerbutton a while it buzzes but the screen stays black. Now what went wrong? This is not the first phone i flashed. and i am fairly experieced but i havent encountered an issue like this.

Im very glad for input. since i now have a nice sleec pile of glass and metal with no function :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Did you unlock the bootloader?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Onecton:
now.... well, good question actually, perhaps not since i thought with a custom recovery thats done over with correct me please if im wrong.

I just guessed that would have been so. If not than that was a supid nooblike mistake on my side.

[EDIT]

if i had unlocked the bootloader i would have killed the TA partition weeks ago... but since i could do a nice backup of that yesterday im guessing that was my mistake

[/EDIT]

Memo to self: Don't flash Roms in the fly 30min after you woke up, always a bad bad bad decision. :D

well i got it running again with flashtools, so no danger on that front. :laugh::victory:

still stupid :silly::eek::laugh:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
yeh, just flash a ftf, root, then back up the TA, then unlock the BL...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] luca_vivi:

Can i use a different kernel with this rom?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Triflot:
Yes, you can, at least CM based ones (like BluePimp). :)

I've been running this new build for a couple of weeks, and it's been just a dream - I've never seen this phone so fast and smooth. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
This sounds very interesting. What is the feature set with those new PAC-LP builds if you compare with ROMs such as BlissPop and Resurrection Remix?

Last time I used PAC was during the 4.3 era but I really appreciated the ROM at that time.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Triflot:
Recorded a video of most of the settings. :)

I forgot to enable Ambient Display when building, but I don't use it myself, so I didn't bother with it.

Years ago, PAC-ROM was a bit... unorganised. Now, it's tidy and clean and has most features present. The only thing I miss is a "force ticker notifications" option, like AICP has. Heads-Up isn't for me.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
Thank you very much. It looks good and mostly similar to BlissPop albeit with a different grouping of some settings.

One question though: Where is the settings for the cLock lockscreen clock widget? I didn't see it on the video but assume it is there since the ROM is based on CM12.1.

Did you use BlissPop before?

I am now using BP 20150927 since it is the last really stable build but is interested to try PAC in order to get onto something newer.

Edit: I ran AnTuTu and it gave around 50600 with PAC v 40600 with BlissPop 20150927. It seems to be time to reflash the device and I give two thumbs up for the PAC recommendation. It seems to have been stable over the night as well.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bavmouse:
error when want to flash in recovery.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
Which recovery?

I flashed it on a C6802 and a C6833 through TWRP 2.8.7.0 without any problems.

Try to redownload the ROM and flash it again. It is really excellent and I must say it is the best one I have used on the Ultra so far, besides BlissPop 4.0.2/20150927.

What kind of errors are you getting?

If you are on an older ROM, flash the latest .216 FTF and prerooted zip, fastboot and flash TWRP and flash PAC afterwards.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bavmouse:
thank you for the answer.

error executing updater binary in zip

twrp 2.8.6.0 - dualrecovery 2.8.2.5

now i am on Resurrection Remix® Lollipop v5.5.9
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
Try the following:

1. Redownload the ROM.

2. Flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 for Togari (don't bother with Dual Recovery, I think it is for locked BL only and it can cause problems). Use fastboot to flash it.

3. Flash the redownloaded ROM.

This should work, I flashed the third Ultra with PAC twenty minutes ago and it worked perfectly. It is three Ultra's (one C6802 and two C6833) I flashed with this ROM right now and no problems from TWRP 2.8.7.0.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bavmouse:
after flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0 for Togari with fastboot, iam now on a bootloop at sony logo.

UPDATE: i dont know how, but now pac-rom is flashing :-O
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
Did you get the bootloop from flashing the ROM or just the recovery?

If you can boot into TWRP, try to flash the ROM.

If you are unable to boot into TWRP, take the following steps in order to have everything updated:

1. Download the latest .216 stock FTF.

2. Download the prerooted .216 system image ZIP.

3. Boot into TWRP and flash the .216 prerooted ZIP.

4. Flash the .216 FTF with FlashTool but deselect System. I.e. don't flash the system at all.

5. Boot the device into .216.

6. Turn it off and flash TWRP through fastboot.

7. Redownload PAC and boot the device in TWRP and flash it.

The quicker way is that you try to flash PAC from TWRP if the device can boot into it. If not, follow the steps above.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bavmouse:
meanwhile i could flash pac-rom, now i hope i am not in a boot loop

UPDATE:

bootloop after flashing pac-rom. then bootloop when trie to come in recovery. now i stop to try flashing pac-rom and stay by Resurrection Remix.

thanks für your help, [MENTION=1547420]E90 Commie[/MENTION]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
Did you redownload PAC?

Did you flash TWRP 2.8.7.0?

What ROM did you use before flashing Resurrection Remix?

It is strange that your device is bootlooping since I have flashed two C6833s and one C6802 without any problems using TWRP 2.8.7.0.

Did you do a full wipe when flashing? I.e. wipe data, cache, internal storage, Dalvik cache before flashing PAC?

If the ROM flashed properly without error messages, then I would suspect that you have an older baseband or something which makes it appropriate to flash the 216 stock/prerooted ROM first before TWRP and PAC.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bavmouse:
i think i have an older baseband. how can i change this?

Did you flash TWRP 2.8.7.0? YES

What ROM did you use before flashing Resurrection Remix? CM 12.1, but i also treid flashing pac-rom from rooted stock-rom

Did you do a full wipe when flashing? I.e. wipe data, cache, internal storage, Dalvik cache before flashing PAC? YES
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
What you have to do is to flash the latest stock .216 FTF but uncheck system and flash the prerooted .216 system img.

When it is done, boot the device.

Flash TWRP when it has booted successfully into .216 prerooted.

Then flash PAC and see if it works. I think you have a too old baseband and bootloader and that is why it is necessary to flash .216 and go from there.

Edit:

Flash this .216 stock ROM: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z-ultra/development/nov-2015-14-6-1-216-t3242052

After it has been booted successfully, flash PAC and go from there.

Make sure you have a freshly downloaded PAC in order to eliminate corrupt downloads as a culprit. I flashed a C6802 from stock 216 to PAC and it works perfectly.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bavmouse:
Incredibly, pac-rom running now. Thanks for your patient assistance.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
Excellent! What steps did you follow to get it up and running?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bavmouse:
i did the steps you told me. but after flashing TWRP it wasnt possible to go to recovery. i asked google and i had to flash a special kernel, then i came into recovery und could flash pac-rom.

i love this rom, it is the best rom i ever had on my ultra. its fast and stable an good battery-life.

I'm getting an "unknown error" when doing this!

Is there any way to stop foldermount from unmounting my sdcard? I need to access it even if its active!

Which checks do you want me to disable? Can't see any!

Do you have any idea how to switch internal and external storage? With my Galaxy S2 is did this by replacing the vold.fstab file!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
In settings untick the "destination folder checks"

You also need the paid version to mount those folders.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
Fix permissions from recovery or an app that has that option. eg Nandroid Manager, Rom Toolbox etc
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wooki:
Did it fix the init.d Option of rom and Rom Toolbox, still getting this error :(

//Edit:

Tried again with Rom Toolbox and it crashed?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
Id try the official thread then mate, Im sure you will be able to get a fix there. I don't know the issue but It definitely works because I'm using it now :) Not with this particular rom mind, but I've used it with CM, Carbon and the stock Rom.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wooki:
The crash just happened once! I got it fixing the permissions but still folder mount is not working! I had it perfectly working on stock, too!

I'm still hoping someone could help me by modding the vold.fstab file!

//Edit:

I found something for the Galaxy Note GT-N7000 with Paranoid Android but i don't know if this is possible with PAC?

Found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2246909

For AOSPA ROM Android Version 4.3 and Above
This also works with ROM's which doesn't has the vold.fstab file. Generally Android 4.3 ROM's doesnt have vold.fstab file, so do the following to swap memory.

There are two ways to do it.

1. If you are using ParanoidAndroid (Android Version 4.3 n Above), you can just replace the ''build.prop'' file. Replace only if using Paranoid Android, If you use any other 4.3 ROM, please do as instructed in 2nd method.

Download the file from here http://goo.gl/O16frm or download from the attachment and paste it in /system with the help of root explorer or any file manager.
Make sure permission is
RW-
R--
R--

Now reboot the device, its done

2. If you do not want to copy paste my build.prop or if you use other 4.3 ROM you can do the following.

open build.prop file using root explorer or any file manager and paste the following lines at the end of the existing build.prop

Code:

# Change to 1 for swapping SD cards
persist.sys.vold.switchexternal=1

# Storage configuration
ro.vold.switchablepair=/storage/sdcard0,/storage/sdcard1

Refer this image ---> http://goo.gl/sBqFCw
it should match with your build.prop

now after editing the build.prop, save and exit, make sure permissions is
RW-
R--
R--

Now reboot the device and its done

//Edit 2:

The above tweak is not working! The external card will not be mounted anymore :(

//Edit 3:

Replacing the internal SU with SuperSU seems to have fixed the problems with the "obb" Folder but Data still isn't working! And why is my external SD missing as soon as i turn on FolderMount (and after closing it still missing)?
